CA-NEU- PASS
New start in Truckee
https://ops.alertcalifornia.org/cam-console/2100
AA States 4-5 acres, high rate of spread
There was a fire in this exact spot around 0800 this morning. Potentially a rekindle. Let’s hope they can catch it. Weather conditions are not favorable up there today.
The wind at the airport is 12 knots, gusting to 18. Column is laying over pretty good, doubt they will hold it at the top of the ridge, but fingers crossed.
There are a lot of high end homes in the area but last time I was up there a lot of thinning had been done
Wind pattern showing straight uphill (north). Will probably impact I-80 shortly, with Tahoe Donner right above the freeway.
Edit: If Watch Duty map is correct, my above post is not accurate. Fire is north of I-80, and east of the east end of Donner Lake. Sorry for mis -info, As noted on another post, there are high end houses on that ridge line. This would be due north of the Safeway shopping center and Mt, Hardware.
Tahoe Donner
Thats my old stomping grounds, and if it gets established in there, not much to stop it except Hwy 80 on the east flank…
Coyote moon golf course to the.north
Possibly Hwy 89
From the Mt. Lincoln cam, the base has broadened significantly.
Not getting any of the incident, but some command chatter:
Fire still at 5 acres, bumping into the golf course. Sounds like good progress being made on both hose lays
T-210 and T-89 on scene with AA 17.
Good drop by T-210
Fire holding at 5 ac. Hose line around one flank(missed side). Getting spots (that are staffed) on the right side. Continue full response.
Thanks for the tile setup - one stop shopping - easy peasy!
