spot or new lightning start
The start the Rockpile camera is looking at sounds like they have named the “Stewart” fire.

Thx, I am still learning how to use this website. I appreciate you doing it and including the scanner link!
Is is burning towards or away from willow creek road (south side of Jenner) just across the river. I’m a fireman from cal but live in SC now and my mom has a place there. Thanks in advance
If the fire comes up hard there is not enough clearance.

That right there is good fire. A lot of these fires are doing good work when they aren’t ripping - especially when they’re under heavy smoke. Sometimes 20 hrs a day they are creeping with low severity effects, but people only see video and photos of the gnarliest 4 hours. We’ve got to do a better job telling the good fire story. This area hasn’t burned in over 100 years - a lot of the land is getting what it needs right now.

I spelled it correctly from the start, but that is because I copied it from someone else’s post. I was hiking out in Austin Creek a week ago. Glad I made it out there before the fire! Stay safe! I’m on the East side of Hacienda across from Sunset beach… I’m hoping the humidity comes up again overnight. It was 84% @7am.

With all the hose down I thought they were going direct to save the Mt. Jackson Repeater. Its Crucial to all comms in Soco. Update: It does look like a burn op

Keep in mind that the IR effects from the camera make the fire intensity look greater than it is. What you are looking at here is relatively low intensity burning. They are protecting the site and letting the fuels consume to get some good black around the site.

The Mt Jackson repeater has been prepped for the last two days. PG&E puts thousands of gallons of retardant in and around the site. The repeater will tolerate a surface fire no problem. It will not tolerate a crown fire.

Evac Orders downgraded to
Warnings in many areas between West of Windsor . Guess there is some progress being made on the line ?
Strange they would down grade those with the weather event coming in.
