Yes I live it Medford, it’s called the Salt Creek Fire. 800-1000 acres. Started around 4pm.
Over doubled in size in three hours - ouch!
100% Also, this same behavior & spread on the LPF fire yesterday afternoon. If i could invent words i’d call it “rapid rotational cross slope sheating spread, w/ prolific spotting” or something like that…
If I heard that in a report on conditions I’d go back to the station
Thanks all for the info on other fires.
So the perimeter is on the FTP site under the IAA folder. CAL-FIRE flew it but did not publish it in their public facing feature service. Maybe because its not their incident? Anyway its on the FTP to use.
Can you publish a map with it, or can it be loaded onto the “other” app? I am not near a computer to view it. Thanks for all your help

Night flying helo is up… very cool to watch it drop!
Hard to tell with the camera in night mode, but it doesn’t look like it has moderated a whole lot. Still cranking at 2300…
It appears the Fort Jones cameras have been turned away from the fire? Any info on why?
Very active already this morning (and all night) on the Ft. Jones. ALERTCalifornia - Fort Jones 1
After so long, most cameras are programmed to return to a preset home position after a predetermined length of inactivity.
Still smoked in on the Fort Jones cam, but weather satellites show it building an ice cap. COD: Satellite and Radar
