Looks like burning along Mineral Springs Road to Higway 198 and then down hill to unknown end point. My guess the end point will be Juniper Ridge Fire Road.

The #MineralFire daily perimeter from last night 7/15 10:55 PM on the #FireMappers map https://arcg.is/1X4aeu1 and IMT map https://arcg.is/a15Pa p.s. you can use the layers button to turn on satellite hot spots, but I am suspicious there were errors due to header / smoke plume
p.s. Bookmark this app as it will auto-update with fire information https://bit.ly/FireMappers
