Evac order reduced to warning in some parts of the SLT area
AND up the West Shore to Tahoma
“A U.S. Forest Service firefighter has died in California’s second-largest wildfire in history, according to the United States Forest Service.
The lead agency managing the Dixie fire tells KCRA 3 a U.S. forest service firefighter assigned to the Dixie fire has died from an illness. The firefighter was not actively fighting flames when he passed.
This after the death was reported in the latest fire update from Cal Fire.”
still sad, tho.
My KML files for 09/06:
Does anyone have the dozer repair pdf? It shows what areas the dozers damaged
My KML files for 20210907 here:
Does anyone know if there is a way to get burn severity data for the fire? (i.e. what burned super hot vs a slow and low burn).
FS BAER team will have a finalized soil burn severity complete by early next week.veg mortality is going to track roughly as the moderate and high soil burn severity unfortunately. But official veg mortality generall comes out the following spring because tree mortality sometimes takes time

Good morning.
Is there a link for todays IAP?
Are they firing some land off somewhere near Echo Summit or a island burning off ?

This is a rough cross, kinda hard to tell due to the wind carrying it and the cameras not picking up the base. Looks to be interior island, however they have open line just south of there that could also have taken off. Should know in the morning from the IR run.
It looks like since Team 2 arrived they are no longer using the FTP site. The East Side is still using the FTP site. What is the West Side using?
I can see most of the burn in the Tahoe basin from my house. From Christmas Valley to Trimmer Peak. Very little smoke coming off this finger of the fire. Lots of helos going over with full buckets.
