The fire is looking the most organized and energetic it’s been since it started. It also appears to be losing its westward side hill/downslope push and is favoring upslope movement toward the ski resorts. Lots of potential in the area with no recent fire history north of hwy 38.

Snow Summit South camera is showing how much that bowl is heating up.

Is anybody hearing any prepositioning of crews out ahead of this? Comms aren’t great.

This fire just like the Fairview fire has been under the influence of an East wind becuase of the strong high pressure. Resources need to be prepared for typical onshore west winds. Probable downslope winds tonight, but bolo for typical onshore flow

The Fairview did a 180 a little earlier and was interesting to watch on a loop. You could see the smoke from the East side moving West and smoke from the West start moving East until all ground level smoke. Was moving Easterly.

There was a time about 10 years ago when BDF Fire Management brought smokejumpers down to the tanker base to stage for lightning events. Many successful saves were made. Wonder why that doesn’t happen anymore. Must be under different management.

That wouldn’t have made any difference on this fire. jumpers are still brought down and usually stage at
Porterville. This fire was noticed and then grew. Jumpers would’ve just gotten chased off it.
