Edit - there was some good news today, as a combination of heroic firefighting and wind direction caused the fire to leap over Christmas Valley's (South LT area) 100+ homes and continued on it way up the other side of the valley....heading towards Heavenly Valley, however, where they are running snow-guns on max output.
