I am hearing traffic about getting helos to the fire. Maybe this is what they are for.

Looks like an island taking off. Barnham South shows burn to the left of it.

Looks like its NE of Calistoga?
Per radio traffic - this fire has outflanked the dozers and is making a run towards structures. Requesting AA

Thank you.
Heard reports from division PP about people returning to their homes. Apparently the evacs being lifted may have been a mistake?
Did anyone else hear that?
Some areas have lifted, most have not.
Sonoma co fairgrounds, unless it changed from this morning after we left it. Same icp as Tubbs fire few yrs back.
I think that is just a staging area currently.

Shut down the Calistoga base camp and moved it to Sonoma County fair grounds when Calistoga was evacuated last night.

Any word on the DIV SS. Any concerns of the mark west springs drainage. With the way the tubs went that’s a funnel right back down. I have elderly family there that was evacuated and it’s pretty far from the fires edge
It’s still a ways from mark west, I believe they have line punched across the north end of the fire hopefully that holds if the prevailing winds develop tomorrow afternoon

The island that was making a small run in Div ZZ / SS was heading to the Northwest a little. Still quite a ways from Mark West area though.
Areas of the Glass Fire are under a Fire Weather Watch by the National Weather Service due to increased temperatures today through Friday. A good weather app I use on the go is the NOAA Weather app which has filters that show all critical fire weather.

I heard 1-2 mentions in chatter yesterday about Glass reaching the Hennessey Fire scar but it was mere mentions.
What are your thoughts?
It looks like their is a good chance the northeast flank of the Glass will hit the Hennessy scar in the area of Aetna Springs as the fire continues to progress along the eastern flank of Mt. St Helena.
Though the forecast does call for a moderate north wind today which might limit the fire spread on Mt. St Helena.
