Can someone explain the dots on that map?
What dots? Dotted lines?
Also this map was released this morning. Fire is definitely bigger
The map comment was removed? There were dots along all the edges instead on coordinates and even behind all of the writing.
2230 Thur: Courtney Air up on the mapping mission, finished and now giving some Situational Awareness to Night Ops. Has a spot 2.5mi north of the main fire in Div R. 500x500 spot near Tamarack Cutoff Road and Humboldt Rd. Sort of near DP-103. A couple more spots on Div R, 300x300, 1.25mi north of fire, on other side of Butt Creek down in the bottom.
2315: Firing operation right now in Div R northeast of Butt Valley Reservoir. From Prattville Road just before the surge chamber, SE along the base of the hills, following the 4800ft contour in the flats. This is right below the Butt Lake camera which currently has a PGE operator driving it and steering around looking at ground around the camera. 15min timelapse now has some good bits of the firing op.

There is a scan of heat north of Round valley Reservoir/ Long Valley Road 204?? Youâll need to pan right or zoom out.

The head of the spot fire from Twain has hit 89/70 very hard. Impassable for non-fire vehicles period at the moment. Large out-of-county law enforcement mutual aid presence coming into Quincy this evening for surge patrol and prep for evacuating larger chunks of population in the county if needed.
Yes, things just got really hot there on the GOES 17 IR. RAMMB/CIRA SLIDER: Satellite Loop Interactive Data Explorer in Real-time with GOES-16 and Himawari-8 Satellite Imagery
