Sorry about your friend…and appreciate the kind words. Real sad thing is that some folks that had been burned out during the camp fire lost their home AGAIN right down the street from my friend. Lightning struck twice. Really feel for them. Stay safe!

This is pretty wild. I am 162 miles away from the Park Fire as a crow flies. You can see the Header looking due North from my the front of my house. You may have to enlarge the pic but it’s a faint little column middle of pic.

Yes they do. I was on the Hwy 36 Pumper stand on the Campbell. Did NOT go well.

Not sure that Polaris is going to put in much work here…
As a telcom guy this stuff kills me to watch.

Looks like on Cohasset some crews did some tactical firing. The fire was far off then, I see a backing fire start at the base of the site.
Platte Cam looks to be up next as the leading edge of a run is close:
