Taking a stab at KML files in Google Earth pro. Green is yesterdays Fire Perimeter. Red flames are MODIS and VIIRS data mostly from @ 1400 today according to the NASA FIRMS site. If the Modis and VIIRS are correct then that would explain the blowout APX8000 was talking about. Div A and Div W labels are applied left side of image.
Div E, east side into Kern drainage near Dome Rock. Again, if IR data is correct from Nasa the flames are todays growth, green is yesterdays perimeter.
New ‘Evac Orders’ for for the communities of Camp Nelson, Pierpoint, Coy Flat, Mountain Aire, Cedar Slope, Alpine Village, Rogers Camp, and Sequoia Crest due to the Windy Fire.
It is being reported a backfiring operation has begun at Needlerock road (Holby) near the Ponderosa; this follows burnout operations near Dome Rock last night.
