Sort of reminds me of the Bonny Fire which coincidentally burned in the same general area around this exact time a year ago. Wonder if it’ll burn a couple thousand acres like Bonny.

Reminds me a LOT of the Bonny Fire but, like, angrier and wider and a bit further to the west. Screenshots from the same camera for comparison.
First is the 2023 Bonny Fire, second is the current Nixon Fire

Curious to see how the Bonny Fire scar affects the forward momentum of this fire once it hits it. Nixon is certainly closing the gap between the two burns.
This thing will likely end up bigger than Bonny regardless tho. I remember Bonny stubbornly fighting for its life one acre at a time for much of its burn while this thing is simply roaring with life.

Crazy to put the size and ROS in perspective with the Park Fire. This fire started 5 hours and just hit 1000 acres. 200 acres an hour. The Park was at 3500-4500 acres an hour for the 1st 48 hours. I think the term “dangerous rate spread” is starting to be overused in some instances.
