Either a new start very close to the Forbestown Fire, or the wind kicked it off again.
RROS, looks to have started right around 1450hrs.
This cam is South of Oroville, not sure if this is the same fire, but it is moving.

Tankers 82 and 83 off Columbia enroute.
Tweakers, growers, wind, rough ground, flashy fuels. South county foothills have it all!

The Oroville CalParks cam is showing a lot of flame front in different pictures. Intense heat.
Just heard IC moving the ICP to Wyandotte Grange and opening an evacuation center at Church of Nazarene.
Any updates of acreage and direction of the fire is burning?
IC stated he is trying to get that update but not able to reach AA
