The Inciweb page has a pretty good synopsis of the 209 (situation status report), it looks like:

| InciWeb

According to the IAP and Inciweb, they aren’t staffing the NW flank of the fire today, which looks like it will likely reverse slope and run up toward Curl Ridge, to the west at some point.
I did a brief video interpreting last night’s IR along with today’s IAP this morning:

UPDATE: Shoe Fire near Lake Shasta nearly 3,000 acres with 7% containment, 1...

Seems like the smoke cleared out enough for some tanker work and night helco.

What is the suppression strategy on this fire?

[pyrogeography]

They’ve fired the SW corner, and are building ridgetop dozer line around the east side. It’s backing to a creek on the west, but the IAP hasn’t shown any staffing on that area, think maybe they’re prepping Curl Ridge to the west? The Inciweb page has Div-specific narrative.

Map shows last night’s IR. White line shows 2 days of growth. The turquoise line is this afternoon’s flight. View toward NNE.

Seems like they have been getting really good fire effects, but the fire has also smoked out Redding for a couple days, and has brought haze to much of the Northern Sacramento Valley. No free lunch on smoke impacts…

[9270]

Air Attack has ordered 5 large air tankers & 2 very large air tankers (VLATs) if available, for retardant drops on the south end of the fire per radio traffic.
