this is the collumn tonight it’s flatten out a little bit I’d give more information but haven’t been hearing much besides this morning they requested 1 T2IA and 3 IHCs I believe it was. Tried to insert rappellers last night don’t think it happened due to weather.

They had serious winds up there last night and have had constant spots and slops during the day.

40-50 acres burned active through the night chewed through the retardant in some spots. Additionally sounds like another 40-50 ish acre fire was found on the KNF - KNF jacket

Gotta love how a 50 acre timber fire can “hide” on the Klamath with all of the technology these days.

I love the screen shots you post. Would you mind including the link to the cam in the same post? It’s nice to compare conveniently when I get around to reading the updates which sometimes is hours later. Gracias.

Yes I try to when I can for the ones I don’t it’s usually because I took the picture from watch duty vs alert.ca since folks don’t have to download alert.ca let me see if I can go get it at alert.ca :slightly_smiling_face:

Edit (here you go ALERTWest - Fort Jones 2)

Watching the cams… the cool weather and higher humidity has moderated the fire spread today.
