Weed fire cam 1 has been repositioned to show hwy 97. Looks like fires getting ready to bump it.

I agree with the NE push all day today, vs the earlier thoughts of a more northerly push. At 1620, with the zoomed in cameras it’s looking like it’s impacting 97 closer to and just past 42N15 forest road.

Indeed… getting confirmed reports of the main head of the fire now well-established north of the 97…

That and a wall of flames is roaring toward the 97 on the eastern most side as well. This is an August firestorm burning in June!

That’s about 1.5mi of flame flank/shoulder there from where it came off the lava shelf and to the left edge of camera view. Running. At least it’s open land in that lava cap area, Quarry Lane and Quarry Road. But not for long.

Damn nature, you scary.

In all seriousness this is a horrifying event and my thoughts go out to all of the people on the line + residents and animals involved.

Has anyone heard of the potential on this one? I’m assuming an IMT activation will be soon.

We’re doing our best with updates on Siskiyou Alerts
In addition to Lava, a vehicle fire into the vegetation in Tennant has jumped 97 and prompted evacuation warnings for Bray and Tennant.
A new fire is reported in Montague on Ager-Beswick x Desavado. Reported as multiple fires now, burning north. Just heard them requesting ODF.

The state definitely pulled the plug on this one now.

If the fire has officially entered Unified Command(UC) the agency in UC Will bring their resources. If the fire isn’t in UC the agency having Jurisdiction (AHJ) has a responsibility to respond. Sadly the August Complex last year is an example of what it looks like. I pray that this isn’t the case and the fire has gone in UC with 1 of 3 cost share agreements in place. “ACRES BURNED” or “COST APPORTIONMENT” or more than likely “YOU ORDER/YOU PAY”

Not always the case, Last year’s West complex/bear fire in Butte, and The Eiler fire in SHU (2014?) Come to mind. Both those instances CF set up there own “contingencies” and assigned resources before the incidents went into Unified command. Usually when community are threatened, feather falls and Hat Creek/old station in the above mentioned fires. I believe it has also happened when certain large private timber companies have put pressure on the right state/federal representatives.

Maybe make a new QA thread about this topic outside the fire thread. Then if it gets squelched we’ll know the true intentions of the censorship.

Constructive criticism and dialog can be powerful for change.

Intel ship (N57B) currently over Butte County enroute to Lava. That will be great for ATAK.
