Im wondering if the Ponderosa burn scar from 10 years back is going to have any effect on this fire’s progression when it makes it to the site. Satellite imagry has that area looking incredibly sparse but it looks fairly lush on the cams.

From what I’ve seen from being there recently is that its really hit or miss. There is a lot of brush growing back but some areas are sparse. There’s definitely a good amount of fuel.

FIRIS shows it pushing well into the burn scar/plantations.

In the last 15 minutes from the cams, it looks like they’ve dropped retardant all the way around it. 910 and 911 will definitely help reinforce what they’ve got down already.

Looking at weather stations in the area, the common theme is mid 90’s with low teen RH values. It’s already shown its intent to spot and with it moving into lighter fuels, I would anticipate them having a growing spotting problem here real soon.
