From a buddy working the line, he sent a video with a new column standing up again. It’s seems to be making another run.

This looks like it’s right close to being inside the wilderness. I think we will continue to see flare ups within the containment lines high up on the mountain because of the wilderness boundaries and steep terrain. They may be fine with it burning up to the tree line too within the containment lines.

I haven’t seen the ground to make that clear, just was a little concerned when I saw the heat this am about the potential of it squirting out to south or east. I am sure it will be fine and the IC is top notch, just seemed interesting.

Diller Canyon to the south is completely rocked out at the elevation the fire has reached. I haven’t seen the terrain to the north as much, but adding some bonus acreage definitely seems possible with the south winds they have been getting. I know they wanted some copters yesterday, but most had left for other fires.
