The 27th there were aerial fire ignition in Div.H and Branch 30. I haven’t looked at map to see the locations. However, there is good smoke production today.

Can confirm, a good friend of mine on an IHC mentioned the next few days will include lots of ignitions to fill in the box

You would think if ignition were going well some sort of containment would show? 1-3% any info?

Nothing has crossed south fork drive, that’s a large area they are slowly firing off plus firing off cinnamon creek instead of the hand line they put in on the ridge east.

They fired down cinnamon creek to salt creek fire road and the dozer lines there, they’ll probably take fire down to south fork drive.

Do you believe evacuations are precautions in the event firing doesn’t go as planned rather than an event occurring that wasn’t expected?
Or were the evacuations from the article already in place and not due to the recent ignitions.

It’s the portion of south fork drive that will be getting ignitions soon. The zone with mandatory evacuations is inside the box. This was part of the plan and blown out of proportion by the article.
