Even though it was a dry winter there is plenty of cheat grass and medusahead between the crest and 395. Last year’s fires crossed 395 without much trouble. There was a firenado pretty close to the bug station.

Hoping historic Dixie Mtn. Forest Fire Lookout is okay. Located in Sec. 15, Twnshp 24N, 15E.
Anyone have an update on this?

5 minute old GOES East and West fire pixels
These pixels are 2km x 2km so you cannot tell for sure where the fire is in the pixel.
You can see where the crossing of 395 likely occurred.

Grass Valley just toned out a strike team. I didn’t get the numbers.
Peavine Peak (Reno area) is now pointed at the fire.

The red pixel directly north of the word Doyle has just turned from low to high.
This is a pretty good indication that the fire is moving around Doyle.

I might have heard AA15 out of Fresno heading there or was it Bootleg Oregon fire. I was far from the radio.
The Babbit cam is giving a broad view of the fire:
