It sure got some good smoke column going a little after 20:00 and some more about 20:45. Does anybody know what happened? Was there a firing operation?

How about the fact there are lots of homes and most likely many lives lost and its being kept behind the curtain to protect families and possibly an investigation? Way to jump to conclusions and sling mud…

11 strike teams of Charlie’s? They are probably going to have to start pulling from South Ops. I would assume northern region units are getting short

I believe most if not all of the OES resources sent to Oregon are being released and reassigned today to the Mill / Mountain today.

San Luis Obispo county diverted their mixed ST from the Route to the Mill/Mountain, and Vandenberg sent five single-resource entities too. South Ops has definitely supported some resources.

Not to mention all the north region engines and crews that were sent to south region last week to preposition, and are still hanging out down there.

Per VIIRS and verified by other sources, the Mountain Fire ran about 2,000 acres to the west last night after IR mapping around 8pm. It has moved about 2.5 miles to the west in about 24 hours. Much of this spread has been flanking or downhill.
Good news is that is hasn’t spread much to east in same time period.
