AA stating 1000 acres dangerous rate of spread. Structures threatened on multiple streets, it is across Tule Peak Rd to the South and well established in the Beauty Mountain Wilderness… The fire is also moving through the Bonny scar at a MROS. Dangerous rate outside the scar.

Here’s another comparison around this same timeframe from the Bonny Fire vs the Nixon Fire

Bonny Fire before, Nixon Fire now

Nixon is absolutely ripping and roaring. It’s fasinating to see how two fires from the same exact spot a year apart exactly react.

Sounds like a slop over by the heel.

2,756 acres per FIRIS, Only one night Copter could be filled out of a request for 3. AA released one LAT ( Tanker 03) back to Fresno as he won’t be back in time, pumpkin time is about 2000 hrs per AA. He also advised OPs the 1 Night Copter should concentrate along the left shoulder where the fire hit structures.

Currently off 371 observing the fire. RH has increased slightly and temps have cooled. Fire appears to be currently driven by terrain, fuel, and a fairly gentle westerly breeze. Imagine it’s a bit more stiff up on the ridge tops in the wilderness area judging by the column that’s still leaning. Crews and AA will have their work cutout for them at sunrise, lots of open line.

The portion of the fire up in the Wilderness is heating up. AA has an ASM and Tanker 910 en-route. He requested 2 LAT’s and a Helitanker that are currently UTF. Hopefully they can hit this before the heat of the day.

The fire is 4,500 acres and getting fairly active right now, the good news is most the activity is up in the hills and away from structures for now.
