That’s mile east of my casa. Looks to be 1/4 acre acre. Last time that area burned was in the 60’s from what an Old HFEO said. This fire in heavy brush and 1/4 acre for now. Walk in show 1/2 to 1mi. We have IA engines from BEU. Fires getting well established watching from the house..Fires on Blad MTB just North Northeast of Sonora City.
Again I have a lot of pics but cant get any of them to load on this site. Never had this problem before.

That fires in the Red Hills. Has a micro climate all it’s own. You can get rain and it will still spot.
This is in brush and Digger Pine(Gray Pine). Maybe some grass. Super shallow soils so things dry out fast. IC ask the ECC to get permission from BLM to use a dozer on this. We have had many fires in the Red Hills and all are a pain in the ass. Just hot and dry counrty.

Things are starting to build in the southern Sierra. If it plays out resources will become more scarce and a lot of competition, both ground and air. Go8ng to be an interesting afternoon and evening.

Chief 4400 just got in local. Responding to the 2-7. Placing a significant resource order. Highest potential for structure threat and growth.
Start 10 additional Type 3’s Code 3.
