My daughter is still in the Advisory Sectors and my son is in the safe zone. Friends from Spring Valley were evacuated with their cats and dog. Other friends are in the Mandatory evacuation and closed roads sections and I am sure they are safe.  I do not know if any of my friends from my church have lost their homes or businesses. I will find out. I am glad that Gov Jerry Brown is viewing the area today.

Conditions:	Relative humidity recovery is contributing to diminished fire line activity. Pockets of isolated intense heat still remain near the containment lines. With the return of critical weather parameters, increasing fire activity may be observed during the peak burning periods when temperatures are the highest and relative humidity is at its lowest. Firefighters continue to work aggressively to build control lines and sustain perimeter control. Barring further fire spread damage inspections are complete. “RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO STAY VIGILANT AND ADHERE TO ANY CHANGES IN EVACUATIONS AND ROAD CLOSURES”. Fire activity and direction can change at any time, be prepared and stay informed. With the elevated fire danger, we are asking everyone to use extreme caution, “Ready, Set, Go”.
