Air Attack 50 off Redding enroute to the “Milepost Two One” fire. CHP has this at Hwy96 MP21, just below Weitchpec.
Deerhorn Camera is right on top of this, has the top smoke coming out of the canyon.
1230: MNF copter 5GH off Orland…
1240: GOES 17 IR has the heat
1315: Ukiah T90, 91 enroute, Type1 rotor 5HT off Chico.
Also I likely won’t have further posts on this IA period - just making the post to due to the combo of GOES signature, smoke report, and local aircraft dispatched.
Looking at Deer Horn Cam #2 the smoke seems
To be getting heavier and increasing. This is a tough area to get info regarding a fire. Hopefully caught soon, rough place to fight fire.
You are being nice identifying NOPS as a lagging indicator. It is obvious to the people who have been paying attention that if it wasn’t for this website, we would not have the current news needed to operate in this dynamic environment.
Thank you to all the posters who keep this website valuable to all the firefighters swinging a tool.
