It’s bushy and steep in that canyon. Power line fuel break up slope all the way to the power house. Sub Division to the northeast up the canyon. If it jumps the river onto TCU that would be a mess.
S-2 flying out of Columbia fast and furious. Ugly area for a fire and coming to the hottest part of the day. Can see it from my house in Sonora.

Wondering if that was a covering ST but it was a TCU ST. Doesn’t leave us with much in the Unit.

84 acres according to Watch Duty. Looks like the main fire had merged with the large spot.

No, Butte Fire is down canyon at Electra. This is up canyon Tiger Creek area. Heard IC say fire was holding at 83 acres for now. From my house no more base just a lot of drift. They also staged a Dozer up in West Point Cal fire. That was a good move just in case it jumps the river.

The fire now has retardant line all the way around it, and air resources plan on doubling that up - per Air Attack
