Last I heard this fire is nowhere near Lower Bear Reservoir, which is south of Hwy 88, east of Pioneer. Please check your source and revise your post if need be.

Huh? The Armstrong Lookout cams are looking north. Bear Reservoir is south. Div W is at the heel of the fire in the area of Omo Ranch. The fire activity in Div W is visible on the Omo Ranch Rd 1 cam.

Not sure where you heard that, they are currently dipping out of Lower Bear reservoir.

Heard them talking about Div Whiskey and based on this map someone posted on here, Div Whiskey is near Bear Reservoir

Ok, it’s the pie effect on divisions. Activity might be in Div W, but Div W does not extend out that far (yet :crossed_fingers:)

Looking at the map from today, division Whiskey is no where near Bear Reservoir…my apologies for not using a more updated map !!!

The letters “Div W” are on the map near Bear Resivor. The actual fires edge in Div W is much farther west.
