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…

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?

After so long, most cameras are programmed to return to a preset home position after a predetermined length of inactivity.

3380 acres per the IR flight at 2243. No doubt significant growth since then.
