Got a big column on it. Heard AA arrive and state it was at least 10-12 acres and heading into the timber with no signs of slowing down. Sounds like multiple structures in the area.

Just heard AA talk "left flank " across 193 taking off.

Anyone know what direction it’s headed? Appears on the camera to be North East or East?

I’d agree, camera perspective, upper winds, and the RAWS info all showing a general ENE direction.

There is a home weather station near the fire. I can’t vouch for it’s accuracy.

Air Attack 230 is handing over Country Air Attack to Air Attack 17. Still a lot of spotting, but good progress overall.

Tanker 134 is on a load and hold at McClellan.
