Meadow outside of mineral as of noon 8/13. anybody have info on the Morgan summit spot? I saw it kind of sitting there this morning but my info is likely delayed and the growth was curious once VIRS and MODIS were updated.

The fire near Morgan Summit is a separate start caused by lightning. It is not a spot from the Dixie.

Any word on containment? Is this a spot we need to worry about as far as mill creek or do we assume fixed wing handled the containment?

I apologize, I don’t know the technical term, would this (Morgan Summit) be considered part of a complex or a new start? or something else?

No apologies necessary. New start. There were 2 lightning caused fires in the Morgan Summit area. The LNF Almanor district is staffing the 2 fires with support from the Dixie Incident.
