As of 3pm firing on Hwy 36 near Westwood was holding. Active fire spreading back toward Mountain Meadows south of Fredonyer Pass. New spread toward Genesee about a mile, slopover on firing at Beardsley Grade. Fire looks well-established on south side of Hwy 36 at Highlands Resort in Childs Meadows.

West, DIV K, good 50 acre spot over (south of) Hwy 36 across the creek from Wilson Lake Road in Sec 36, just SE from the 2020 Stump Fire. It blew past the dozer line at Wilson Lake at 2pm and got into the timber. The spot is off to the races.
This is not good, is an understatement. @pyrogeography

Fire burns in Genesee Valley. Daniel Kearns reports no structures lost! Fire reburning in 2019 Walker Fire at Heart K Ranch, still a little hot along Hamilton Mtn Road on Fredonyer, Janesville looks better. IR mapping trivia.

The reburning of 2019 Walker Fire is a surprise to me. Will be interesting to check it out - I watched that part of the fire back down slowly of course of a couple days. Very low intensity. Wondering how it’ll look now.

Genesee Valley was the hub of much of the action today. Mill Creek/Highlands area looks like it is cooling down. Minor spread on N side of Lassen Park, and Fredoyer Summit. Some movement south toward Milford. Maps here:
