They caught a break that it is primarily backing and flanking along Highway 32. If it had hit it straight on, it would be a completely different conversation

All the resources up in Cohasset are hopefully keeping an eye out behind them. Once this portion crests the ridge on the north side of the canyon, it could make a hard push towards them.

Looks like everything just NE of there in Forest Ranch, specifically Nopel Rd is going to take it head on if it hasn’t already

A few questions for all the experts here:
Trying to educate myself. Hope this is ok to ask.
Is it possible the Park will reach the Dixie Fire Burn scar and thus run out of burnable fuels? Is that a possible stop for it? It seems at present it has a nearly unlimited supply of burnable fuel that it is devouring at a seemingly uncontrollable pace.

This fire will be contained by fire personnel and hard work sometime in the near future. The Dixie fire was an anomaly of a mega fire.

Platte mountain 1 camera has some incredible time lapse for the last 30 minutes. Looks like it’s going to take a direct hit shortly.

Id say this fire is gonna develop into a similar mega fire event, 120K in 26 hours is a early predictor
