Anyone have more info on this one? Seems to have dropped off the list, yet still burning hot.
They are expecting some crazy winds tonight, hubby said. Due to the terrain quite a few IHC’s are workin day & night. The proposed lines are quite a lot bigger than the Fire was but seems to be growin into it? Only able to get boots on the ground intel every couple days due to location. Not much help but it’s what I was told.

Anyone have a copy of the IAP?
FED’s do not post them because of personal phone numbers on their IAP’s
Any updates on this fire?
Any talks of State getting involved here
State crews have been on the incident since IA
This is FRA ,with no threat to sra unless it hangs a left toward lakehead( which is actually LRA- Shasta county in the FRA)
Basically Shasta lake north( backbone ridge south of lake) north to uhhhhh. Hwy 89 in Shasta is FRA, Unless after cutoff hours for USFS
Big firing ops yesterday and last night. Crews almost tied in the west and northwest corners. Crossing fingers that today’s shift will continue and have it burned in by sunrise tomorrow. Great work done by all shots and crews.

Sounds like state resources are being released sun or mon. Hearing rumors SKU is working on a contingency plan of there own. Alot of political land up there, SPI, Hurst, Levi Strauss. Hopefully this doesn’t turn into Baggley 2.0!
