Here is a map showing other recent fires in the Kincade Fire area. The red polygon is last night’s IR, taken around 0130 on 10/27/2019, and no longer accurate. The blue polygon on the left is the 2017 Pocket Fire, the 2017 Tubbs Fire is on the right, and 2015 Valley Fire across the top.
The North end doesn’t look like it has spread very far into the 2013 McCabe footprint, shown here in purple. The white line is the IR perimeter from 10/25/2019 at about 2300 hrs.

Sounds like they found some good air for a couple of tankers, including 944.

Sarah: Holy cow those places are all far beyond the fire’s footprint from last night’s branch map i looked at early this morning. I imagine that map is quite outdated now after last night/this morning’s winds.

No problem! It has surely changed. I like these footprint maps since I use a few different “live” trackers. But, they aren’t really being updated frequently enough compared to how the fire is growing. I appreciate you sharing them when you do.
