Was up in Lone Pine last night and the light show was very impressive. Many more ground strikes than I’ve seen from storms in the past.
Hopefully the wet stuff that came at the same time will keep most the fires away.

Fish creek drainage is not only beautiful but would carry fire a long way. Hopefully this is suppressed quickly, I love that area

Two additional starts found by AA.

Medium size tree with a 40x40 ground fire, AA said it was hung up on a ridge with a lot of rocks on either side. Low priority they talked about inserting heli tack or rappellers

The other was a tree strike with ground fire.

Didn’t catch location for either 🤷
