Wonder what the Orr Mtn lookout is seeing - it should be staffed today.
Does this have the potential to merge with Lava?
Possible but not probable. It is 18 miles away. They may make it a branch of the Lava, depending on jurisdiction. But that’s a long ways to join together.

When I first read the report that put it at Tenant Road (when this was still being regarded as part of the Lava Fire)-- I knew that was way too far away to be a spotfire. Awful timing to have two wildfires now burning in close proximity to each other. Certain to cause conflicting resource commitments.

You can seen the Tenant Fire’s heat signature burst to life a fair distance away from the existing Lava Fire’s heat signature

Ok I see thank you.
see IA thread
The Lava and Tenant Fire could very well end up merging like the Telegraph and Mescal Fires did in Arizona earlier this month. Those two fires became so massive that, despite being miles and miles apart, they STILL managed to merge. I’m kind of expecting that to happen here at this point.

When viewed from the Mt Bradley 1 camera; the smoke extension is now mixing with the Lava. The East flank of the Lava is taking a line which would intersect the path of the Tenant, based solely on the smoke extension as there are no cameras in the area of the Tenant.

Is the Juniper Bates Motel burning down going to be credited as a commercial structure destroyed, or what?

Just based upon the picture, at most 5 miles.
Is the question because of the length of time the hotel has been abandoned, dilapidated, falling down? I wonder at what point the damage assessment people consider a structure no longer fits in a viable category and is more considered refuse.

Is Tennant running like the Lava Fire?

I was wondering same thing. Anyone have reliable Intel for the tenant? Much appreciated
Seems like both fires are on the downward slide (knock on wood). Both are starting to demob some resources.
Lines on the Tennant will be wind-checked this afternoon/evening. If everything holds, there will likely be a mass demob tomorrow.
