Immediate need any type local gov engines toned out for structure protection. Didn’t catch numbers but I believe it got toned for all county local resources.

Immediate from LNU and nearly all units south of SHU are likely going to be late to the game. The FWX forecast for today should have been the trigger point?

My rudimentary mapping of the fireline on Google Maps pegs it well over 6,500 acres. But we’ll offically know soon enough.

So, looking at the map you made, it’s hopefully going to parallel HWY 97? I only ask cause I have family evacuating shastina as we speak.

I believe it will likely parallel lake Shastina and go north north-east, yeah. Although I believe it’ll likely jump the 97 north of Bolam. Im very concerned for anyone living in or east of the Whitney Creek area tho. This thing looks like it’s gonna barrel right down to that subdivision shortly if conditions don’t stabilize.
I wish you family all the best!!

Does the Lava Wall have the potential to slow this down a little or will the fire blow right over it. Not familiar with this area.
Let’s keep to the facts all. There are people families being affected by this. Prayers for all fighting this beast!

The lava wall seems to have stalled the main push of the fire, but it looks to be burning around the wall…
