Evacuation ORDERS have now been issued for all Shasta County zones South off Hwy 44 in the Shingletown area that were previously Warnings, from the Black Butte Rd area east to just past Viola.
The 2012 Ponderosa fire isnât going to slow it down. A lot of flashy fuels and a lot of tall brush has replaced what was timber before.
For refernceâŚShingletown on the 44 is 50 miles as the crow flies from the start in upper Bidwell.
Ya was just answering the earlier question about the Dixie scar. If I could figure out how to post a pic I would.
The only thing thatâs going to stop this monster is the Dixie scar. Everything between the fireline and Lake Almanor, all bets are off. They should be evacuating everyone between both points.
Is there any concern for Red Bluff or Redding? Or does the wind never shift that direction enough (or ever)?
Were they able to hold Hwy 32 on the east flank somehow? Or has it now crossed?
Still fighting spots per radio traffic. So far holding. Have been non stop all afternoon with aircraft also.
Fire seen on the Inskip Camera now - validates the earlier fire traffic of Moulton Loop at Oasis Springs Road. Slowly and surely marching north.
I donât want to speculate, but Butte Co. SO announced mandatory evacs on the north side of Paradise about 1945.
Thatâs incredible. What an effort!
Hearing IMT 4 being activated for this fire also
I am very confused about the Paradise evacuation. I donât see a NW wind event coming up.
KCRA had their copter up earlier this evening there looked to be a well established spot south of 32.
The Morgan Summit cam will be a great indicator as to if and when it gets established past the 36 as itâs staring straight down the 36 towards Mineral and itâs still under the column so you can actually see. That confluence of drainages at the 36 and 89 is seriously concerning with this wind, could just blow torch up the 89 and barrel straight through Lassen NP. Keep your eyes peeled. Praying for all those out there truly putting themselves on the line to try and stop this freight train.
Fed or state?
