El Dorado area greening up a bit! Didn't seem like there was much erosion from the recent storm. But this is just at the southwest perimeter, no idea what it's like further in.

Bonita fire near Mountain Center. How is there anything left to burn there?!
Wildfires in January. The 13th month of 2020 does not disappoint.

Small fire in altadena, as seen from Devil's gate vicinity.
Can see fire trucks on sight, and lots of helicopter action.

That was probably Steve setting a new PR on the DH, flames following not far behind.

Was going through pics last night and found this one with The Baby hanging out by the lone tree at El Dorado.
It was a good tree.

Wait so we didn’t ride up there Saturday because there was too much snow and now it’s burning?

Springs Fire, about 54 acres now, near Big Rock Creek Rd northwest of the 2. Windy, sorta. Helos on scene.
Was hard to figure that out because Air 7 kept a tight shot for the longest time.....don't they know it's much more useful to give us geographical/roadway references????

Hoping for quick containment.
The fire names need more distinction. There was a “North Fire” recently, still on inciweb. Come on, guys...

How can anything burn in this very moist air?

Physics.
The air is moist, the fuel is not.
Your attention is directed to the fire triangle.
Fuel - Oxygen - Heat
