Are you sure? There is no heat in VIIRS and closest fire in IR is back towards Throop and Mt Hawkins. If you have intel source, please share. Fire on Baden Powel just adds more misery. And here is Baden Powel from Mtn High, looking at Vincent Gap:

No smoke visible from the base of the hill this morning. Good weather with nice moisture recovery last night.

And then…pockets of fuel and much of the Big Cone Doug Fir in canyons along the West Fork near Devore Campground did not burn in the Station Fire
Good chance it is Shortcut Canyon or thereabouts. Well away from Wilson, just needed perspective.https://goo.gl/maps/bHxnQp2hLhE3kvxh8 :

I keep hoping Mt Wilson defense is done, but I know I should never hope. My crew is there now and it is getting a bit hectic. Wind pushing towards Wilson now according to boots on the ground. Cams beg to differ.

Currently up at Mt. Wilson near the 100 inch telescope. Fire is making a good push up the West Fork but still has a ways to go. 2 copters working it now. Wind is pushing fire sort of diagonal to the telescopes. Looks like 3 Alpha STs are arriving in the parking lot. Sounds like crews are firing down on the 2. Be safe all.
