It ended up small, but see the third bullet point that references Bucks Lake.
It has alignment with slope, hot slopes, and upcanyon winds to really blast up the south side of Bald Eagle Mtn if it gets on that slope. Bald Eagle Mtn is little green icon east of Tobin on the map.
Here is a map showing location of 2020 Bear Fire.
Thank you! I guess they were a bit slow to get it on their Facebook page and must have posted it just a few minutes after I looked.
Also adding new evacuations on the north-west side of the fire

I am watching this thing blow up… in the last 15 minutes
this is pretty close to what I am watching from my back yard. Thing just went big in a matter of minutes… scary awesome. It got some altitude to it too fast to be good. Pictures from Flea Mt around 17:00 are imposing Tankers fly over every few minutes , C130 just buzzed us…

From Flea Mtn camera. Things don’t seem to be going well…
Per AA: Well established on S. Side of HWY 70, past Grizzly Forebay and Rogers flat.
Rought acres on a map encompassing 70/Grossly Forebay/ rogers flat looks more like 4k+
Not surprising
It looks like this is skirting along the edges of last summers North Complex …
Seems like the winds have picked up and changed directions slightly…
Holy wow!!!
