Fire Watch51 out of Lancaster flies this in the morning and late afternoon as a mapping (mostly) and can be asked for intel. I hear him check in with LPF every morning and afternoon on National Flight Following 168.650. He flies mapping on many Fed. fires.

Anyone have an educated guess on that flame height? Am I crazy for thinking >50ft given the scale of towers???

Youâre not wrong. My wife was at the Lake Fire just south of this last year and worked in the area. She said the brush was 10-15ft tall, so it wouldnât be surprising to see 50ft flames.

There is at least one crew maybe two working around the comm site still, 15 minute playback and you can see the captain scouting the brush

For reference, the power lines are about 1.2 miles away from the cam site.

I am not going to post a video but the time lapse of this column from a zoomed out perspective on the California Valley 2 Camera is definitely worth watching at some point.

That fire is EATING through that brush at fast speeds and at big heights, and headed straight for that La Panza tower. Theyâve just panned it to show that flank of the fire and itâs an absolute monster. That fire is going to chew straight through the retardant line. This will be an interesting watch.
