Remember when most folk didnt think fire could burn from one side of sierras to the other - and then it did! You are not alone in your curiosity of #fountain re-burn & this fire reaching that area…

It seems like the fire is impacting a lot of timber farms. Will the trees be salvageable?

They can be salvageable but they have to be milled within a year or so and then sold somewhere. If there is no market demand then they will be wasted.

If not for the gigafires of 2020 and 2021, we’d be viewing this things growth as virtually “unprecedented.” It’s insane to think that not even that long ago the biggest fire in recorded California history for the longest time was the 2003 Cedar Fire and now this fireline looks to eclipse that in the next 12 hours.
This Park Fire is an absolute monster. We may see this thing destroy hundreds of thousands more acres before it’s out. Terrifying.

This is a very good question. I explored numerous areas right after the Dixie Fire and what I saw was very interesting. There were areas totally nuked, and around a corner , almost no sign of a burn. A crazy patchwork. I am no expert, but surmised when a fire is moving so fast it burns some areas to the ground and others it seemingly passes over. Someone else may have a way better answer than I.

Well per my new math thanks to my IPhone…we are now at 4700 acres an hour, 80 acres a minute and 1.3 acres a second. All based off 240000 acres reported and now 51 hours into the fire.
I do not see her slowing down much…actually up almost 800 acres an hour from 3 hours ago
