This was the old SRF Bluff Complex. The Lone Pine Fire has now been added to the complex and it has been renamed. California IIMT 2 (Johnny) has been activated with an in-brief tomorrow evening.

Looks like at least one of the fires (presumably the Pilot) has been burning very well for at least the past 3 hours on the Bald Jesse cam. Punched through the inversion and chewing up some acreage.

I believe the Kelly, Cedar and Lower fires are a short distance east of the Cam Site:
ALERTCalifornia - Wild Frontier 1 - Wild Frontier
As of Noon 8-18 it’s has an inversion capping the fires. Watched it back down into the Kelly Creek drainage yesterday. Confluence or Head waters of three drainage’s join up according to the IAP map.
Could be potential for running up to the ridges once the inversion breaks??

Hope my research is correct.

Which seems like several of these will burn together??

I was counting the current mapped acres of this morning and yes.
The Kelly fire was at 8k yesterday morning and by this morning is 14k (well it is by now).

Tonight’s fire runs are causing lighting over the area: (18:30)
Combined with the tropical moisture coming up.
Note: MODS - maybe change this to “Smith River Complex” and name off the fires near the “Kelly”??

Looks like good defensible space inside the fence line. Bet the shelter and tower made it through. Some scary visuals though.

As radio tech whom has installed 1000’s of feet of cable on tower sites, I am pretty sure some of those cable (plastic jacketed copper) runs feeding the dishes and antennas are melted to the point of severe damage. With the stand of trees torching off the radiant heat was damaging.
The building is non combustible and two propane tanks feed generators. There is obviously the microwave carrying the video feed is still working, until the propane runs out.
