HelCo advising multiple spot fires into the Chip Creek drainage, Copters are working it but they don’t think they can hold it. Too smokey for Tankers in the drainage.
Spots are about 20 acres and pushing east.
One spot fire is about 20 acres. It’s said to be south of Morris Lake and not in the Chips Creek drainage.

Neither the Chips nor Storrie Fires held at the ridge where the dozer line is in Division R.
Hopefully the fact we’ve had 2 fires in this country in past 21 years will moderate the rates of spread a bit. A lot of the forest that survived during Storrie also survived the Chips.

AA-210 reporting the spots across Hwy 70 are well established & moving in all directions. This was reported in the Feather River Canyon. Tankers are working the spots but they are not going to catch them at this time.

BCSO sending multiple deputies up to Bucks Lake mutual aid for Plumas SO/SAR for evacs. BCSAR is primary on the High Lakes side, Philbrook, Jonesville etc. Sounds like Cherry Hill campground is the line between Evac Order and Warning, with the Butte Meadows and Inskip communities falling into the Warning category now. LNF resources also doing notifications in the high Lakes area, Snag Lake etc.
