Looking at Google Street view images fuel sparser in the manter scar so the long fire lost its legs, that explains why it went from a big pyrocb to hardly visible yesterday afternoon

That’s pretty much what was being said during the meeting at KM. They basically have two options in the scar areas 1. Hit it with air resources to give the hotshots time to get a handle on it/ use it as a natural break or 2. Watch it burn hot and fast with the wind. Unfortunately, the past few day the second option has been the only option in the afternoon.
They’ve been hitting it as hard as they can with LATS and MAFFS 2,4,6 when they can.

The 6 hour time lapse is a good display of how fire influences local weather.

Looks like the Bald Mt cam on Trout went down about an hour ago. I know they’ve had some rain and lightning up there this afternoon.
