The current official acreage is 1,500. That is some hours old. This will be mapped by FIRIS shortly. Let’s wait for the over flight and not speculate on what we don’t know. Additionally, this is the IA thread for verified intel. Let’s proceed, please

UPDATE: All acreage speculation posts have been move to the Q&D thread.

I believe Cohasset Comm Site is going to have a good show before it’s consumed by the fire.
With the heavy timber stand around it… It would be good to see the overnight fire front. If it stays on the air:

Im pretty confident if you read my post I’m not claiming it’s that size. I even said it feels way to big. That’s why I asked if others have used it.

Sounds like they were able to get all vehicles out of Cohasset through the top to Hwy 32, no need for Helo extraction

Edit 2307: Some vehicles do not have enough fuel, SO is going to start Helo evacs from Campbellville helipad

CalFire website is listing it as 6,465 Acres @ 22:30 but as noted above, these estimates are usually low and late

Looking at the webcam azimuths, I think the GOES heat satellite might actually be somewhat correct. It looks like it made an enormous run out into the Pine Creek watershed. This would be a 13 mile run in about 7 hours.

Cal Fire just uploaded a perimeter from their intel ship that is 6,000 acres, but the feed doesn’t have capture time, and I think it might be a few hours old. Here are current camera azimuths on top of it, with GOES heat underneath…
