The only thing I can think of was the air was cleaner for the ships to get in and out. That’s a ways east.

The post is from 6:43pm Sep 7 2020. These injuries may not be from today but they are just now able to get aircraft in to rescue. This is directly from the offical Fresno Fire PIO social media

There are several spot fires south of Highway 168 and Cressman. There are several spot fires in Blue Canyon which eventually will burn all the way to the Kings River if conditions don’t change. With the fire pushing west it has a potential to make it to the outskirts of the basecamp within a day or two.

Pushing West… That will be into SRA shortly.
Winds aren’t real strong anywhere else. Mountain rest raws shows 36 mph gust but just down the road is 8-15. Mountain rest right now is pretty close to column.

Command went silent. I can see it from Clovis. Don’t be stubborn on this one. No structure or tree is worth a life. I’m heartbroken for everyone.

Right around 0115 I heard that Mountain Rest (the station) was surrounded and the dozers working Shaver Springs were bugging out (per div on cmd).

This mornings IR and 209 143,929. Many Sierra NF employees and families are evacuated, but they’re hanging in there and working hard. Today is going to be so critical, won’t be long before it hits 200,000
