Regarding the Intel Platforms and info releases are they approved by the IC?
The perimeter and announcements of spot fires could be concerning and in my case was false but did cause me to address it with superiors.
Just wondering. Excellent info, but is there a process?

Is it just me, or does it appear the fire has picked up in activity again in the last 30 min??
Always hard to tell at night with cameras.

Does anyone know if the big powerlines got taken out or just turned off? Power is out everywhere north of the Pit River Bridge up to and including Lakehead.

Incident had the 115kV transmission lines in Branch 1 (just east of and parallel to I5) shutdown for the increased fire behavior. It’s the sole transmission for the Sac River canyon between the Cascade sub in north Redding and Antler substation in Lakehead.

Thank you both. I figured as much. Retired firefighter here in Lakehead where the neighbors have lots of questions. I’m grateful for this website and your quick answers. Thanks!

Just curious, my map and driving experience says those lines run all the way north through Dunsmuir, Weed and into Oregon at Copco - is it just difficulty in getting things re-switched to feed the opposite direction?
At approximately the Shasta/Siskiyou Co. line, the PGE territory ends. Don’t know ins and outs of back feeding power from one company to another?

That transmission line certainly feeds/runs the entire canyon, with Pacific Corp on the other side. I too don’t know the ins and outs of where they decide to turn off other than a combination of jurisdictional boundaries and sheer capacity of available power from the other side.
And speaking of power, the battery backup keeping my live scanner streaming the Fawn command and air traffic ran out of juice 110min into a power outage in Red Bluff. It’ll be down until PGE figures left from right.
