IC: just spotted across McKinney Creek Rd to the east (so now on both sides of road), 5-10 acres & well established on the other side, not confident in catching it/or the fire tonight.

FIRIS from about 5:20pm.
Seems pretty exposed to downcanyon night winds from the Klamath River, which could be amplified by forecast east winds.
View upriver over fire.
CalTopo wind layer for 3am.
