This fire was reported on this morning N.Ops intel :
“180 acres, timber, 7% contained. There an Evacuation Warning in place for the Deerlick Springs Resort. There is also a threat to private private timberland. The fire is burning in steep rugged terrain with heavy dead and down fuels.”
Anyone have any more info than that?
Found it on Inciweb listed with the SHF lightning fires. Started on the 17th. Local forces are handling it at 20% containment as of today.
I have not been following it with my focus in my TGU backyard, but it’s close enough to glance at once in a while since Platina went into an Evacuation Warning a few days ago. I think the bulk of that was due to TGU-Elkhorn, but I’m sure SHF-Spring was a consideration in that whatever influence was blowing Elkhorn, would likely blow Spring as well.
They have enjoyed some fixed wing and clear air off and on this last week.
