Looks like there was about 4,000 acres of spread on the west and NE sides of Coyote Peak last night.
Looks like fire spread about a mile east along the flank where it met up with the 2020 Sheep Fire.
Anybody know if there has been a firing op off of Willard Creek Rd?

I’m sorry, I know fixed wing is one of many tools, rotary as well as far as aircraft. I figured fixed wing would be suited based on the wind conditiontioms for initial containment/contingency. Of course lines would have to be made by hand crews based on the topography to actually contain. I know that area, dozers would be tough but not impossible.

A request to those who are newer, less tenured, or who have just joined this site. One of the Mods posted a helpful reminder in the General Discussion section about reposting certain types of media.
If that surprised you then you may want to take a quick visit to the guidelines of the community. This is not a typical Facebook style place or a place for chat. You will find a high number of subject matter experts, fire service leaders, and very technically adept fire science and fire behavior experts who participate because it is about wildland Fire “Intelligence.” That typically means it should be vetted and validated for accuracy, non-sensitive, and related to the topic." The guidelines are here:

Finally, to help those who may not realize it, many of the questions you would like to ask but might be afraid to have already been answered in the General Discussion section. Topics such as where to find IAPs, maps, IMT information, terminology, etc., are all in that section.

Per morning briefing, the PIO stated that it is holding at 31%, and over 6100 people are assigned.

Super nerd status achieved. But good intel. Cell sites being effected is definitely going to slow response times for pending 911 emergencies.

Anyone know what’s going on today in the Lassen Sector, Division P and R (branch 13? Or maybe it’s 16? I looked at the map this morning but it didn’t stick) No cell service there so no updates coming in…hoping someone on here has heard some chatter. Tia

22 days ago Zeke (Pyrogeography) discussed this beast threading the needle between the Sheep and Walker burn scars… and here we are.

Are you in a position to see what is going on in that area? Is this beast going to threaten Susanville? Do you see anything going on in Susanville?

Also could have some room to move between the Sheep and the Hog. The Willard was fairly well cleared on private, so hopefully that helps. But the Devil was reburned in spots during the Willard, so who knows.

I believe that same statement was said on Main Street in Greenville.

It was a long ways from Greenville and Canyondam. Where there is fuel, this fire has found away.

Look at Today’s IAP
SUSANVILLE BRANCH should tell you it’s not as far as you think.
Especially if you consider the run that occurred 11 days ago.

It’s a bad setup for a run to Susanville. The little finger ridges that run N-S on south side of Susan River make a perfect springboard for the fire to hopscotch one to the next with long-range spotting. Check out the maps on today’s update on the-lookout.org
