Using the cameras, this is southwest of Hellhole Res., west of the Rubicon River, north of Eleven Pines Rd. above Pollock Pines quite a ways. This should be on the ENF. I believe this was the north end of the King fire, but its been a few years…

Looks like it is in a footprint of a previous fire?

The winds look to be surfacing, unlike an hour ago.

Oldcdfguy. Looks like it’s possibly in the 2014 King fire burn scar

Believe this should be at the northern end of the King Fire scar

I agree this is in the burn scare of the King Fire.
However, the King Fire ran a lot further north than the location of this fire. North Tahoe Ski Areas activated their snow making guns as it continued to run north altho it (fortunately) didn’t get to them.

Holding at 7-10 acres. Definitely within the KingFire burn scar, along the northwest edge.
