Looks like that’s starting to happen based on the camera views and scanner traffic I’m hearing

Hello. I’m just now joining the discussion. Quite a fire they’ve got going on.
Has the fire jumped the 49 yet? If so, how far out from the 41 is it? Also, is the push more toward Yosemite West/Wawona, or El Portal?

Where can you find a list of equipment that has been ordered and what needs to be filled. Is there a website that has this info. Also where do you find the IAP?

I’m sure about the IAP at this point, but for resources you would have to be granted access to CF MMUs IROC database which is only granted if you’re on the incident or working in the ECC.

Does anyone have the scanner link? I’m sure it’s a long shot for me to hear all of it from AZ but hubs is Div H today and it looks like it’s running for his Div.

It will be posted here when they officially create one.

Find a map, if it is current it should show the fire north and east of Hwy 49. That is as of 2:38 PDT.
The fire is currently approximately 20 miles south/southwest of Curry village in the park (YNP).
So far today the fire decided to push more north/northeast than yesterday’s south/southeast. It is early though.

Agreed. Tonight at 1900 it shifts to west north west. Probably not the same push but still a concern given the next few days will be hotter and drier and with the Jerseydale drainage alignment as you mentioned yesterday.

Under the current burning conditions, it will be difficult to get a current exact location of the fire from any map. Your best bet would be to monitor a scanner link. Here is a “recent” fire perimeter map for reference:

Should be moving into the 2018 Ferguson Scar on east flank. See if the regrowth fuels will support the same spread rates. It’s very dark smoke heavy fuels on cams. Very large Devils Gulch/ canyon would be next up with it’s north south alignment.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Curious about the loads.

MODIS 13:34 shows heat well into fire scar but I’m assuming thats heat in the column.

Big column but not really capped out… My guess is that the winds are pushing some of the heat off the base and keeping it well ventilated from a consistent direction, and the upper air dynamics are not enough to support extreme vertical growth. Will look at the soundings to see where the DP and Temp differences are, but so far just a real big column. That does not mean that there will not be some erratic and strong winds and long ranged spotting…
