It’s a bit larger than 3 acres…
Has to be by the look at it…
AA SAID 300
That’s a good time capture. AA also grounded all aircraft just prior. A good situational awareness trainer for sure.

There is approximately 3 acres across Chiles Pope Valley Rd but the main fire on Hennessey Ridge is well in excess of that.

The fire isn’t in Napa Valley, it’s more eastern napa county. So the fire will not have the same delta influence that a fire in the valley would.

Per the Berryessa Cam it looks like the fire has reached the west shore of the lake. Can anyone verify if that is the case?
