[pct-l] Fire in San Gabriels -Ravenna Fire-?

[Matt Maxon]

Oh SH*& ! This is grievous news.....;-(

Some of the worst fires for this area have started here, with the first 
recorded "Ravenna Fire" back in the late 1880's(?)

I do not doubt the Fire Fighters are aware of this fact and are working 
feverishly to quell this fire now!

This is a link to a map I made with the only remote sensing data I could 
find.

AVHRR satellite  detections.... These are very general in nature ... 
Hopefully better data will be available soon.

From our place it appears to be on or near the PCT in the Mattox Canyon area, below North Fork Ranger Station.  I say that with some caution because it is difficult to tell precisely from this distance.  It appears to have started on the west side of the canyon, and has worked its way east and up canyon.  The winds have laid down a bit, and firefighters are actively working on the blaze.  We tried reaching Todd up at North Fork, but someone (presumably a firefighter) answered that he wasn't available.
