40 acres, single tree torching with spotting. Looks like a handful of rotor wing working it along with a line of Type 1 air tankers.

Seems like one you’d order smokejumpers on. At 0850 hrs, 1/10acre, somewhat remote, long drive times.
I am biased though.

Size updated to 915ac at 0800, from 75ac at 2200 the previous day. I’d imagine tactical firing is a large contributor. Light winds and non-critical RH minimums in the forecast. Several crews assigned.

What’s the proximity to the SRF-Complex from last year? Orleans hosted a camp.

Here’s a video about how local input helped direct the strategies and tactics chosen for last year’s Pearch Fire, just north of this one. Many of the same players from last year are involved in the Boise Fire.

Major change in smoke production from Oregon MTN Cam and T-1 tankers working out of RDD on fire. Any updates?
