The Tankers could not drop due to smoke conditions. We likely won’t see this on a Cam for now.

Yes, that is where it would be, but too smoked out to notice a new fire.

It’s a little windy.

Yep. Can tell - the cameras clearing a bit. Although down in the valley it is still pretty variable.

Twitter pic of the Water:

Corrected - not a pic of the Water - was tweeted with the Water hashtag - I jumped gun. Apologies.

That’s the Apple taken from Hwy 79.

Maybe not - may have misinterpreted the tweet …terrain does not look right in the pic…

I was gonna say that picture looks like it’s from the top of Lamb’s Canyon, the column from the water is hidden behind that.

They mentioned a new start in Branch 3 I believe…wonder if that could be it

Water IC just ordered 2 Type 1 ST to report to HWY 62
