Decent column already. How close is that to the forest?

On the forest hill cam, you can see some low smoke out in front of the column moving a different direction

Cross puts it in the vicinity of the divide between Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek if the camera headings are accurate (39.12440,-120.81745), very close to the TNF.

Pretty decent column for a camera that far way at 0630 in the morning.

This may have started yesterday evening, see 12hr time lapse ALERT Wildfire

Question for ALERTWildfire folks: is it possible to view >12 hrs of context to assist in identifying new starts at night vs. fixed light sources when the image quality is poor?
