elecshoc Report post Posted April 25, 2017 From vids and pics I've seen it looks like it may have started right near where the main road dips into the wash at the start of sawmill canyon, From there is looks like it might have went south southeast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

25-06 Report post Posted April 25, 2017 No military base, but some maps have "military reservation" marked... Looks to have started where FS 411 & Box canyon rd meet.. That's what I figured as well. Does anybody know if it made it all the way up the canyon to the towers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Codywhi1 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 the first burn missed the towers looks like it stayed south of box canyon road but burned north of Santa rita ranch if the makes sence. There is still a small burn that looks to be a few miles from the towers now. What the fire did on the east side of the mountain I have no clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
