Caltopo has it mapped in two locations, one shows a scar dated 9/8 and a hot spot dated 9-8.
Not sure what is up with those designations:
https://caltopo.com/map.html#ll=36.31821,-118.64595&z=15&b=t&o=f16a%2Cr&n=1,0.25&a=mba%2Cfire%2Cmodis_mp

Estimate 2 acres perhaps.

Any further help?.. on KNP CAD history has the scar fire start date 8-3 at 20 acres.

That’s the same fire it finally found some heavier fuel and got a breeze in it.

Per inciweb

Beginning as early as September 8, low intensity backfires will be ignited along trail systems, the edges of green meadows, and fire scars to strengthen these areas as containment features, and then consume fuels between them and the main fire. As these low intensity backfires are ignited, the total fire size will increase daily. Within the proposed indirect containment lines, crews expect to take 8 to 10 days to fully implement the strategy. Monitoring and patrolling of containment lines is expected to last for several weeks afterwards.

Thought the fire was out. Was that a firing operation?

Perhaps better chance to allow slow and low intensity burning operation to benefit the parks ecosystem.

Pine Flat got .55" dumped on them in 30 minutes. More coming in now. It’s been spotty, but where it’s hitting is getting dumped on.
