Bear Valley, CA…We normally don’t publish the heat maps of the fires because they can be inaccurate and show heated air aloft etc. We thought this recent one of the Donnell Fire was illustrative though. It shows they are making good progress taking the heat out of the fire for much of the perimeter. On the south side of Spicer Reservoir you can see where the bulk of the fire’s energy is today. Luckily there is plenty of water in the area for helicopter drops and Spicer should provide a barrier to growth to the north. Let’s just hope firefighters can keep it from making turns around the lake.
