Correct and another from Yolo too. Don’t have those numbers. I have friends near Bucks Lake and they told me the aura is visible to them tonight.

According to the predictive models on Ventusky, the windshift towards the northeast that comes (as it does) in about 6 hours would send the fireline right into the community of Portola. This could be a very dangerous and devastating situation that unfolds in the next few hours and should be taken incredibly seriously.

Here is an overnight FIRIS perimeter, from 2:30am.
Historic fires shown in shades of brown, almost all over 50 years old - this is a super-typical fire shape and size for this area (and most of the desert transition area of NE Cal), so far.

Watching the smoke peel out in the past 30 minutes and things are starting to bubble up. With 7 or 8 hours of active burning ahead, this one has me rattled. If you’re headed to this fire, be aware that while the area is heavily timbered, the main carrier of the fire is grass and shrubs - it will behave more like a desert fire than all the trees might have you believe.
Also, don’t assume the hydrant you hook up to is going to feed a bunch of Type I engines for very long.
