Would that be north of Chester?


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

North head- Spot fire to Butte Lake.
AA said “Possibly just the main fire at this point.”

East side, spot fire along Diamond Mountain road, near “Buffalo Ranch(?)”
That would be Lights Creek drainage north of Taylorsville.

Courtney Aviation false-color LWIR imagery of Lake Almanor West from 7:25pm: CalTopo - Backcountry Mapping Evolved

Edit to address questions that were PMd: They publish the image as a single channel (ie each pixel is a single value from 0-255), along with a table mapping those values to colors. The color table they provide is white → red → orange → yellow, but there is no index in the metadata to link a specific color to a specific temperature.

This is different than most other false-color imagery you’ll see, which is developed using different wavelengths for the red, green and blue bands. For example, typical non-fire false color IR imagery that you’d use to assess vegetation is built by using near infrared for the red band, red for the green band, and green for the blue band. This accentuates the difference between near-IR and red; a near-IR image by itself looks just like a standard black-and-white photograph.

The colors are entirely arbitrary, moreso than a traditional false-color image.

As of writing this, all of the LWIR images appear to have been removed from ftp.wildfire.gov, with only perimeters left in the folder.
