Fire to bump Placer Rd. at Secluded Valley Dr. in 30 minutes. All resources in the division pulling out to Placer Rd. to try and make a stand.

Thank you, appreciate the info.
Looks like the fire is letting up in town, but new problems brewing north and south.
I’m not trying to criticize but wondering what the deal is here because this fire still seems very active out in the brush and it would seem they still need the golfs and charlies? Or did they just have so many because Redding was being impacted and they are excess? Or is everything just spread that thin that they have to rob an existing fire to support a new one? Or a combination?
Does anybody have info if the fire has hit Shasta Lake City, my aunt was evacuated Friday morning ?
Resources are thin and sometimes decisions have to be made to move equiomentnt to where the need is. The Mendo fires present a significant risk and don’t have enough resources so moving resources, even if they are still needed is necessary.

Another way to see this, is where are the resources most effective at the given moment? This beast will do the exact same thing whether those crews or engines are there or not (in the broad sense) vs a couple Golfs and a Charlie could be considered the bulk of an entire Division on a smaller fire. Scale and big-picture effectiveness. It’s why tanker diverts to IA are so common, get the fires while they’re small.

@norcalscan what burn scar are we looking at right south of Shasta Bally peak?
Great updates!! Thank you
Question
Can anyone explain if the detections (MODIS & VIIRSI) are showing artifact or is the fire this big? Just trying to better understand all of the tools out there today.
Thank you

Artifact in the southwest corner of that. See where those hits are in a straight lined pattern of sorts in bottom left part of that? That part is artifact/smoke column detection. It gets more accurate where MODIS and VIIRS start to compliment each other and group up in thick red in that diagonal line NW to SE that you can see…

I took this from County Line Road about 3 miles south of 299 on Tuesday afternoon. Lots of fuel up there ready to go. A few more miles down is a really great old growth ponderosa grove that I hope makes it. I believe the Whiskeytown module has done some work around it in the last few years.
