They haven’t started the damage assessment in that area yet but it will be shown here when your place is checked. If you use Facebook or Twitter some freelance media people are willing to check for you if they can.

Notes from IR interp @ 0023: Northeast island merged with the main perimeter over the course of 24 hours and continued to grow eastwardly. Further expansion of the main perimeter in the NNE section, also in an eastwardly direction. West perimeter saw minor growth to the west. Southern perimeter remains unchanged. Scattered heat throughout the incident, with intense heat around the NNE and SSE.
Imagery is a composite of an IR flight on 20210826 @ 0023PDT with 0620PDT IR flight.

Hello everyone
I’ve been active in the Dixie forums, thoughts I would contribute to the Caldor Fire as well.
This is a KML containing all data tagged as a completed line from today’s posted data at:
https://ftp.wildfire.gov/public/incident_specific_data/calif_n/!CALFIRE/!2021_Incidents/CA-ENF-024030_Caldor/GIS/IncidentData/20210826/2021_Caldor_CAENF24030_Event_ArcPro_2_7.gdb.zip
And this one contains data flagged as planned dozer and hand lines:
These can be imported into Google Earth or CalTopo, great for combining with other data for seeing a perimeter that stopped at lines, slopped/spotted over lines, or is heading toward lines or no lines.

There was minimal spread to the east last night. The fire moved a mile downcanyon in Camp Creek, on the NW side of the fire, growing about 400 acres. It is now 1.5 miles east of Pleasant Valley. The 2019 Caples Prescribed Fire may help slow fire spread on SE.

The lids come off and she looks to be off to the races again. Winds are pushing SW up canyon as usual but with slightly greater velocity. Leek springs and Armstrong lookout have decent views. The firing in DIV J doesn’t appear to be holding but let’s hope that it is, there also appears to be some heat sources detected NORTH of the 50 in DIV G, let’s really hope not as there’s no contingency line between there and ice house and we’ve seen what this thing can do with lateral crown runs.

The fire has reached Strawberry, not with ferocious intensity but it’s there
