Fire burns in Genesee Valley. Daniel Kearns reports no structures lost! Fire reburning in 2019 Walker Fire at Heart K Ranch, still a little hot along Hamilton Mtn Road on Fredonyer, Janesville looks better. IR mapping trivia.

The reburning of 2019 Walker Fire is a surprise to me. Will be interesting to check it out - I watched that part of the fire back down slowly of course of a couple days. Very low intensity. Wondering how it’ll look now.

Genesee Valley was the hub of much of the action today. Mill Creek/Highlands area looks like it is cooling down. Minor spread on N side of Lassen Park, and Fredoyer Summit. Some movement south toward Milford. Maps here:

Fire continues to back into Genesee Valley. Fire east of Highlands has not crossed Highway 36, Mill Creek looks to be cooling down. Minor fire spread south along the Escarpment. Biggest runs were inside Lassen Park. Maps here: Dixie Fire – 8/22/2021 – The Lookout

DixieFire - 8/23/2021 Morning Update
Genesee Valley is still the center of action. Just about everywhere else on the Dixie is really slowing down, including Escarpment, Mill Creek. Cooler temperatures have helped. Also, dozer-mania. Read more: Dixie Fire – 8/23/2021 – The Lookout

Fire has left Lassen Park and is headed north toward Highway 44. Yesterday, a firing operation NW of Prospect Peak jumped the dozer line and added about 1,700 acres. This has potential to be a big problem. Dixie Fire – Ongoing Updates – The Lookout
