Radford grade area? (edit)
If it gets established, this will be a real problem. I was just down there a few weeks ago and it is primed and ready. Additionally, with the WUI component, it will draw a LOT of resources.

I am not speculating but this area had quite a bit of lightning yesterday.

Based on clouds (or lack thereof) in area, it does NOT look like a recent lightening strike… (But as SixOneNine observes, “could” be a smoldering strike from last night finally lit off in the heat). Cross of two cams shows out in the middle of nothing. Seems like an unlikely spot to camp…

Would this be considered Snow Summit area? BDC is putting out a unit to that area.

AA requesting two additional air tankers and one additional T1 helicopter for a total of four.
IC is placing potential as 20 acres.

Back side of it yes, Radford grade comes up from the Hwy 38 side to top of the summit

If you play back the Keller Peak Timelapse…The fire has shifted from up canyon, to down canyon, and then back up canyon. Gotta be tough with winds like that.

Drove Radford in March, nasty fuel loads, road is narrow with no turn outs, not a spot to have a type 3 in, crest at the summit is homes at the top of the ski resort
