Sounds like a fire off Hwy. 36 near Childs Valley maybe?

Not 1 fire but 2 looks to be moving pretty good.
If the Dyer Mtn camera is looking at the Hog Fire, the centerline on the map is not accurate. The camera centerline is looking more towards Lake Forest Estates.
The other Antelope Mtn camera is in Siskiyou County.

AA, 2 S-2’s, 2 SEAT’s, and 2 copters assigned.
Tons of history of fires driven by the prevailing winds ripping SW to NE in this area, as you can see in the fire scars on center-right this aerial image, which is looking NE. It looks like it is still on fairly flat ground, but if it spots across Highway 44 into those hot, dry, clearcuts, it could make a major run up Roop Mountain.
RH is 19 in Westwood, typical winds from SW.
Bogard is a bit North of the fire. Gusts WSW to 16mph.

I received a WildFireNearMe email saying that there was a fire by Child’s meadow area of Fire Mtn Lodge area (they give Location Coordinates:40.3 , -121.42 and Incident Number: 2020-CALNF-003872 ) However, we haven’t seen any fire vehicles or air traffic and we live 8 miles west of Chester. They would have to come by us. Usually when there is a fire there is a ton of activity.

LostCreek - the Childs fire was around 2pm if I recall. Started by a cooking fire and out pretty quick.

Hog looks to be really getting a head of steam. Ugly black column developing.

The second fire is 18 miles ENE of Chester. …Hwy 44 north (or west) of Hwy 36.
