STF has resources enroute to two fires, Pedro fire at N38 12.21 by W120 1.37 N. of Strawberry

and second incident Brown fire N38 7.46 by W120 4.26 = S. of Long Barn.

Brown fire …units in area UTL. Not sure what status of Pedro is??

Lighting has been active in those areas this afternoon. Wouldn’t be surprised they pick up smokes tomorrow.

as of @22:00 All I have heard in equipment going in quarters.
