Not necessarily good news....

From tonights Union Democrat:

“We may have to go over two or three ridges away from Mount Knight to find a safe anchor site,” Santiago said.

Crews are battling multiple spot fires, she added. There is no estimated date of containment.

The firefighters’ main objective is to not let the fire cross the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River and spread into Calaveras County, said Lee Bentley, public information officer sent in from the Southern California Fire Interagency Management Team.

The broad plan is to keep the fire south of the river, north of Contention Ridge, west of Sandbar Flat Campground and east of Forebay, Bentley said.

Not really good news, anything further south of Contention starts getting problematic.

Looked at Google Earth - not sure where Forebay would be. Contention Ridge is just to the North of Italian Bar Rd above Jupiter. Sandbar Flat is in the eastern side of the river canyon. So far the fire seems to be staying in the river canyon. Hoping it stays there
