Based on the camera triangulation, looks like it should be well within the Carr fire scar? Should help slow it down, although I guess it has been 7 years…

40-50 acres, potential for 100. Total of 6 airtankers on order, 5 additional engines.

With the low still pulling away from the coast and drawing in moisture and the atmosphere primed for vertical development.. all of theses fires could become plume dominated. I would also not bet on the burn scar doing much to inhibit growth, in fact it could contribute to growth wit the dead and down.

The fuels are ripe in the brush areas around Redding, for sure.
This fire, going off of the NIFC point, is burning in or around a salvaged piece of SPI land.
There will probably be a lot of logging slash in the cutblock, but the shaded slope to the south looks like it wasn’t salvaged, so there is some shade, potentially less dead and down/receptive fuels.
A lot of SPI’s Park Fire salvage areas have a sh!tload of slash in them.
This area is checkerboard ownership, so there will be schizophrenic fuel loading changes at the property boundaries - none of the public lands here were salvaged. Pvt lands in red.
FIRIS mapping puts it in the slash. I wonder if the unit had been replanted, yet?

I worked in the Carr fire scar a few years ago and besides the plantations it’s all brush and dead and down now. You can tell property lines up there by the brush thickness…
