CA-SQF-August Lightning 2023???

Fire watch 51 has been flying the SQF for lighting fire and found 5 starts. Two are in the KNP Park.
I was able to pick up traffic on 2 of the fires on the SQF and 1 on KNP. None are staffed, these are new…

Little Kern Lake at Little Kern Creek, 40x40 ground fire and single tree, potential for 50 acres. Reported at 10:30, SQF Fire

Round ridge and Alimine Meadow (SP?), 20x20 ground fire with single tree, potential for 10 acres. Reported @ 10:40, SQF fire

Lat 36 31.94 x Long 108 37.90, Redwood meadow, section 17, 300 x 100 ground fire with potential of 25 acres. Reported @ 11:00, a KNP Fire.

I missed some details and haven’t checked mapping. I believe all are too small to find on the Cams. I’ve looked. No names from dispatch as the division chief is mapping them.
