The McNally fire did jump the main Kern around Kern flat and burned to Hockett peak. The Flat fire in 1975 took out all the Flatiron country north to Trout meadow, it started at the Forks of the Kern.

Theyâve got AA51 checking it out now. Wouldnât be surprised if itâs well past 15k. Itâs still ripping up the canyon.

AA51 is done mapping and heading back to berdo.
Finally they get some intel, watching the RAMMB itâs still got a lot more heat showing than anywhere else so I think youâre absolutely right about reported acreage on the 209 tonight. After 50 fire seasons this is amazing to see whatâs happening across the state.

Looks like your âroughâ perimeter estimate was on the mark!

So apparently there is a name change, SQF COMPLEX, and that includes the Castle and Shotgun.

Too much smoke between Breck and Shirley Cams on the Alert Network. Old school cam on SWFRS showing some production now from Jordan.

hey capt, you do know that there are 7 Jordan cams???
thanks for the reminderâŚgood updateâŚthanks
Oh yes. I look at them daily. My family property is across the Middle Fork of the Tule, adjacent to the Black Mountain Grove. The property is visible on a clear day from cam #4. The SWFRS cams have been around a lot longer than the Alert Cams. The Alert Cams were started in Tahoe by students as a project. Off the Castle topic, I know.
The SWFRS cams have helped me a lot up here. they were invaluable during the Cedar Fire 4 years ago. always a good standby. Like nowâŚ

SWFRS was my window to the Pier Fire which burned right onto the corner of our property at the top of Wilson Creek.
