Seeing a few posts on the norcal fire weather page of a new start NW of susanville, possibly the Lassen NF or CAl Fire LMU. I can’t find much info, nothing in wildcad last I checked, but news reports put it at 150 acres. Anybody have anything further?
Something looks to be showing west of Honey Lake on GOES-16:

Looks like it is in CalFire response area and is being called the “1-1 Fire”
I believe I heard S25 of T29N R10E and mention of a campground in the mix of things, jotted it down and mapped it, then waited for aircraft to confirm. It’s around there, south of Hwy36, east of Fredonyer, right along the LNF/LMU line. It was an LNF-Fire transmission sending resources to an LMU incident.

I was looking for info on this and have not found any. I noticed the hot spot on GOES West about 30 min ago.

This is now known as the Roxie Fire. 250 acres, 40% contained according to CAL FIRE.
167 acres, 55% contained according to ONCC News and Notes:

edit: ONCC shows this as an LMU incident. I think it was on FRA, but LMU DPA, so LMU incident number.
edit 2: Spot weather forecast:
