7/6 6:45pm: Update from the southern perimeter

Just reported by phone:

There was great visibility today – the fire is reaching the break in the north fork of Rat Creek and it looks like the line has held there.  2 wildlands crews arrived to Rust Peak today and they are stationed along the line there. The ridge that divides Rat creek has fire now.

Helicopters were working most of the afternoon and their work seems to be working.

We did receive confirmation today that all houses on San Lucia ranch have survived.
