Sorry. Was automatically thinking Dyer…
It seems as though Westwood is going to have fire approaching from all directions tomorrow…

Odd question but why has nobody said anything about the lake Almanor Country Club area and Big Cover/knotty Pine area? Also Foxwoods and Bailey Creek communities. Seems like hundreds of high value targets… 1 wind shift and it’s set up to burn it all to the ground. Any resources in those areas?

It’s just smoked out, you can see a couple dim flame flashes in the 15min.

This morning’s IR flight is quite interesting on the North Arm side of Indian Valley, as it pertains to spot fires. There is active heat pickup out to Lone Rock, 3.5 miles east of the shown head. Not out of the question with the strong west winds yesterday?
Seems to be moving through that thin, new growth on the Moonlight Scar with a vengeance. Will be interesting to see if it can get over North Arm given the spots that are showing up on the map.

So Dixie has surpassed bootleg in size. Just mind blowing the amount of acreage burned is hard to understand…and the lives affected…words fail.

I wonder if wildfires were measured in biomass or board feet consumed where Dixie would rank for California. This is no grass or chaparral fire, so much mixed conifer forest.

Dixie Fire incident information is available at the FTP NIFC site: Index of /public/incident_specific_data/calif_n/!CALFIRE/!2021_Incidents/CA-BTU-009205_Dixie. Just negotiate to the info that you want.

The fire didn’t make huge runs overnight, but yesterday’s weather pushed the fire all over the map. Updated IR imagery and analysis here:

Anyone know why NFIC pulled the tiffs off the FTP site? Those were a pretty awesome resource for tracking the fire.
