Watching the cameras when this started roadside very strange that the spot fire also started roadside main fire and spot fire have merged on the camera

It’s a long way from doing such, but could you imagine if this thing pulled a Park Fire on us and burned all the way into its scar? Definitely a lot of potential in the valley, unfortunately…

If you go back an hour on the Flatiron cam it shows a perfect view of it starting roadside

Was watching it from Lookout Point on the Skyway. As of about 17:30 it was looking really good. It slopped over the top of Doe Mill Ridge, but the heavy tankers had it painted in pretty well, and hand crews, dozers, and heavy helos made good hay on the flanks. First C-130 drops in Butte County(?)
