Can anyone post a recent IR image or current map of what fire did overnight?
I donāt know if this will help you.

Itās definitely further east than I would expect to see. Almost looks like itās close to Strawberry/Twin Bridges

From the CalTrans CCT camera at Twin Bridges, this would appear to be in the Horsetail Falls area, possibly within the Desolation Wilderness boundaries.

Satellite shows a lot of smoke hung west of the crest near Echo. May just be smoke that looks ominous on camera?

Prevailing winds in the area are pushing Caldorās smoke away from that camās view shed. Looks like a new start. You can see the cam operator trying to focus on it and triangulate. Should be processed via Camino ECC, AEU/ENF. Somewhere between Strawberry and Icehouse Res.

Call just went out for an aircraft (Firewatch 509 out of Placerville) for an area check, south of Lake Aloha and West of Sierra Tahoe.

WATCH509 has ordered an Air Attack. This will be for south of Aloha, west of Sierra at Tahoe
Radio traffic was clipped so couldnāt hear if it was named or considred a spot which I doubt based on winds and distance.
Nice pick up there @captain71

Firewatch509 just reported that this smoke is coming up the canyon from the main fire. It is not a new fire. Air Attack is still enroute though.

Iām curious on this also
The north east flank, the head, is the exciting part but itās the western edge that effects many of us in sly park and pleasant valley. I feel like info has been very scarce for us along that edge.

Please everyone remember that most of the people posting are Firefighters who are working the fire or are taking the time to gather the info and get it out the best they can. They also truly understand that everyone is looking for info. Please be patient with these folks who put a lot of time into what they are giving us. So if youāre looking for something ask but understand it may or may not come but no one is purposely immuring info. Itās a long slow journey to put these fires out and we all have to thankful for what info we get, hard in these days of instant information. Be safe everyone and hopefully everybody goes home soon
