I agree, other than a small fire right where the head is now, back in 1983, there is zero fire history since 1950 for the entire current and proposed footprint of this. Brush, grass oak woodland, WUI with lots that are not kept up and plenty of man-made material sitting around hiding in tall grass. Jones fire made it west only to Intermountain Road north of 299. Fawn is west of Intermountain scooting right along. This area is one of those nightmare scenarios for SHU that hasn’t come up yet; the Carr, Clover, Dale and Panther chewing through other SHU worst-case areas.

Welcome @Tvc4gcross to these forums. It’s important to keep questions in the Q&A thread, which is marked with the ?? after the name. Here is a direct link. This thread is for fire intel only, fire behavior, direction, weather, observations.
It’s also important to scroll up and read the narrative, as often the questions are already answered. In this case, the evacuation orders mentioned 2 hours ago give a clear picture of where the boundaries are that they think this fire is going towards. Quoted The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office is issuing an mandatory Evacuation ORDER. All roads off of Bear Mountain in both directions between Dry Creek and Old Oregon Trail must evacuate immediately
If you have questions on particular roads, hit up google maps and reference the evac boundaries above. This google link will get you right to the bulk of roads that are directly impacted currently.

Yes it is. That doesn’t look like the rotowing are showing either.

@pyrogeography, can you post a KML or link to the data for the map that you just posted to twitter? I’d like to open it on Google Earth so I can scroll around.

Don’t think one is rolling yet, but I’m guessing it will be soon.
