My friend just sent me this photo looking north from Redding. I’m ASSUMING its one of the fires in the complex

[Jank]

Actually it could be the Antelope fire which is just NE of Mt Shasta. It’s getting quite a bit of air attack right now. The River Complex is NW of Redding, but the Antelope is just a little E of N from here - I live in Redding, but am in the west foothills (Old Shasta) and don’t have a visual of the main (Sacramento) valley from here. Round Mountain cam shows it with a notable plume. ALERTWildfire | Shasta Modoc
