[pct-l] Butler2 Fire

[Matt Maxon]

I checked the Old fire perimeter and it is a fair distance west of the 
western edge of this fire.I estimate about 3.8 miles from crab flats rd

Basically the fire is between Delmar Mtn Rd & Crab Flats Rd just about 
10 trail miles give or take 0.3 miles or so...

The Perimeter is a ways back from Crab Flats Rd though on the west (1.1 
miles EST) & nearly to Delmar Mtn Rd on the east (0.75 miles EST)

The last time I was through that way there was a lot of dead trees. this 
is probably burning pretty hot as a result.

I checked the perimeter for 2100hrs on 9/17 and there was no extension 
worth noting to the east & west. There was a retraction on the north an 
a slight extension south in places.

Hopefully they'll keep personnel on scene until we get some rain. So we 
won't have a Butler3 Fire!

> It appears like the Western  perimeter of the Butler2 fire is very near to where the Old Fire in 03 petered out when it merged with the previous decade burn of the Willow Fire.  The Eastern Portion of the PCT and most of Holcomb Valley has old growth timber and  this year is  very dry.  Little Bear Springs does have an outhouse with some rustic ammenities and this area has most definitely burned.  My guess with the 3 or 4 maps available, a friend in Running Springs, and my knowledge of the area is that at least 6 miles of the PCT (as the crow flies) has been affected but probably closer to 10 trail miles.  The quick movement of the fire has slowed down and now the fire is reburning what it previously sped through on Friday and Saturday.   Matt's latest map is very accurate and helpful.
