Basin Complex Fire 52,000 Acres 3% Containment

 

The Basin Fire is at 52,000 acres and containment is reported at 3% according to the July 2 morning incident 209 report. The containment figure appears conservative when you look at the most recent image from GeoMAC (above). Basin Commander Deitrich could not be luckier with the weather over his fire.
He still only has 8 helicopters and 7 fixed wing aircraft and limited ground resources.
Here is part of the narrative from the report filed this morning.

"Continue structure protection assessment and preparation in the Palo Colorado Canyon area and south of Mining Ridge. Complete dozer line construction on Rodeo Flats Trail. Conduct firing operations to check fire spread along Hwy 1 and on Dolan Ridge and Rodeo Flats Trail. Complete dozer line construction from Hopkins Ridge to the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Hold fire south of dozer line from Hwy 1 to Coast Ridge Road. Continue dozer line construction Blue Rock Ridge west of the Los Padres Reservoir. Complete line construction on Mescal Ridge to the Old Coast Road. East Zone: Continue structure protection preparation in Cachagua area."
