A post was merged into an existing topic: CA-SNF-Creek ???
Branch 25 saying that from the “Tamarack Lodge Sign” down 168 for about 2 miles, heavy fire on both sides of the road.
Units are doing point protection on structures around Huntington Lake as able.

I believe they are talking Tamarack ridge and Tamarack Creek on South East edge of fire.
“Pretty good Fire on both sides 168 from Tamarack lodge west a couple miles”
I believe I just heard affirmation that fire is still hot up near Cedar Crest,
“Still just doing point protection where they can until it calms down a bit”.

Was that Google drive a heat map or actual fire activity?
Heat map, I’ve seen it posted a few places.
Is anyone using either of these tools for the heat maps?

Just heard on scanner that fire all both sides of the lake, and heading up towards the ski lodge.
No. They can be off a 1/2 mile in “accurate” conditions. Sometimes they can pick up the heat in the drifting smoke column.
That said, Huntington structure group just said
“Fire is heading east still, on both sides of Huntington road. Going to fire a line between the lake and the road to stop the eastward spread below the road. To protect the marina area.”
Sounds like it is past Cedar Crest, I believe they were doing active structure protection at Cedar Crest hours ago.
“Fire is also still on both sides of 168, heading east, and will run toward China peak before too long.
Easterly Fire progression on both sides of the lake about the same right now”.

All those dots mean is that there was a heat source detected somewhere within the resolution of the sensor. Depending on the sensor, you are talking a kilometer or more of imprecision, depending on angle of capture and amount of heat in the column, and probably other factors.
