CA-PNF Lightning - 2020???

Quite a bit of fire from yesterday’s storms in the footprint of the 2007 Moonlight Fire.
Also, a major fire established on the south side of Claremont, south of Quincy.
There is a small fire on the LNF on Keddie Ridge (not shown on VIIRs) and one on the west side of Moonlight Peak.
Here are VIIRs heat detections from last night about 0200.

New start on Mount Hough s/o Taylorsville. Not sure if it will be lumped in to the complex, but most likely.

EVACUATION ADVISORY NOTICE

Due to the #IronFire on Mount Hough, an evacuation advisory notice is being issued for the Community of Taylorsville extending west on Arlington Road to Johnson Ranch Road and 3 miles south on Genesee Road from the intersection of Arlington Road and North Valley Road.

No further info at this time.

A Commander AA also circled Keddie Point, about where north arm splits from the main valley. Everything is pretty socked in with smoke it looks like, so they could be chasing some ghosts.
