This gives us an idea of how rapidly the situation is unfolding…
Road Closures-
Carstens Rd
Triangle Rd from Hwy 140 to Carter Rd
Buckingham Mt. Rd
Plumbar Creek Rd.
Jerseydale Rd and all side roads off of Jerseydale Rd
Heat is showing on GOES satellite:
Can zoom in only so much…
Looks like it just punched through the inversion layer.
Cannot remember the name of the saddle above Triangle Road… but I remember that winds can pour down through there every night. Unsure if that will be an issue tonight? It was a huge concern during the Ferguson.
IMT on order??
State or Fed?
i believe its MMU but also on the SNF boundary.
It’s about 90 SRA and it’s current path S/W is all SRA
I know it’s quite a ways east of Lake McClure, but this initial intensity and aggressive push southest is eerily reminisent of Detwiler back in 2017. Could indicate the kind of fire we’ll likely expect for the week.
Yet another view:
1300 acres
Hardly an hour apart and the fireline has already crested the peak of the ridgeline and appears to be spotting down near Triangle Road. Dont take that as fact, that’s just what appears to be happening anyway.
It’s past that area now and and will be playing a factor, right now it’s on Buckingham mountain which is just barely visible at the base of the column.
Watching the three hour loop on Mt. Bullion Camera 1 shows impressive spotting and then consumption of the lee side slopes.
You can see it much further away too from El Dorado County. The fire in the forefront is in Amador County…you can just make out the column of the Oak Fire…at first it looks like clouds.
The heal / origin is showing on Caltopo:
(Usual 3 hour delay for signatures. Also smoke will give some false heat signatures with this size of fire -FYI )

Ferguson was in Yosemite National Park. This is right outside mariposa. This is southwest of Ferguson Fire
