Yes, spotting way out ahead of the main fire. They’re talking about trying to box that spot in with retardant.

Map shows 254 acres as of 2030 last night. North Ops has it at 220 acres and 25% contained this morning. Probably both “ball park” numbers.

The 12 hour cam loop really shows the wind shift at sunrise.

Off it goes…

[MendoRadio]

Two hot spots influencing each other and pulling each other together. Impressive behavior in the last 30 minutes… She gone…

Another view… If you watch the time lapse you can really see the two spots influencing each other. Very impressive.

All AT released from the fire at this time

[Jimw360]

I heard that…I also heard some discussion about wilderness area…is that why they released the tankers?

[Chaparral]

I suspect they released the tankers because of turbulence.

Mt Shasta is well known for turbulence.

[Dozer_Keith]

Sounds like it is due to the air turbulence as opposed to the Wilderness Area encroachment, from the AA traffic

[MendoRadio]

They said they were releasing the fixed wing because they were not effective enough with the conditions they were experiencing. They did have authorization to drop in the wilderness.

[uncrustable]

The forest just tweeted about drones in the area

[MendoRadio]

That was about 30 minute or more prior to the airshow being put on hold, and the radio traffic indicated it ended up actually being much closer to Weed than the fire.

[Chaparral]

Tankers back to the fire.
