Praying for Chester. This Satellite heat view does not look good.

Just got off the phone with my brother, who is working the fire in Chester. He said that the fire made a hard push to airport road, but no structures lost. Now it is burning through the junkyard across from the airport and out behind collins. He said that aside from cedar chalet there are no structures lost at this point. They will be setting up to do structure protection in martin ranch next.

The fire is approaching Greenville High School

Here’s a few of the many pictures from my office of the moment when I decided it was time to leave (In retrospect, I’m still sure it would have been physically safe to stay … but there are limits):

Caltopo has been updated, but behind by 3 hours, zoom in/out and pan around.
Kinda hard to get detail and the entire fire on one page. Placed wind direction and
average speed green lines overlay.

Several hundred acre spot fire just west of Widow Lake, just reported on the radio

[ffviking]

Would that be north of Chester?

[co_weather]

Yes, very much so. Appears to be the northern end of the front that went passed Chester yesterday.

[OldLEO]

About 15 miles north of Chester.
