Fire has impacted the Circle Bridge on Mosquito Road, per radio traffic it is impassible now.

I know structure protection on the flanks are the main issue today, but this now makes Robinson Flat Rd the only way out to the TNF, on the Placer County side, Hopefully this route isnā€™t closed for too long, as Iā€™m guessing the FS may need to send a Shot crew out to start prepping the Big Trees grove.

Sounds like NOPS will be getting quite a few resources from SOPS with the rain putting the Fairview and Radford to bed.

Its hard to tell if there is a column at all. Even cameras way out arenā€™t showing anything. Willow Creek in Amador is pointing that general direction and only shows the low, thick smoke.

There was a brief time when there was some clearing. You can see it at the beginning of the three hour loop

Itā€™s definitely still putting out a big heat signature on the satellite IR:

Sounds like a drone operation should be taking off in about an hour, intending to fly from as far down on Baltimore Mine Rd. as safe.

Definite onshore breeze in Western El Dorado County the last hour, with noticeably cooler temps. Air clearing, cams starting to show a little bit of the Column.

Does the Google Drive IAP linked above pull the latest IAP automatically or will it only pull 9/9/22?

Last nightā€™s 10:30pm FIRIS flight shows a large area of heat/spot fire in the canyon bottom southwest of Foresthill. I canā€™t find any other intel showing this actually exists, so any other mapmakers out there may want to find confirmation before posting the FIRIS as-is.

@pyrogeography are you talking compared to the ops map?

I watched the video from INTEL-12 and tthe fire is right up to the dozer line that runs south from town, from Baltimore Mine Rd towards the river.

I didnā€™t catch the entire report, but it sounds like the plan on the east side is to tie control lines in from Chicken Hawk back to Foresthill Rd. up to Hogā€™s Back, then out towards Canada Hill along the 13 road.

From significant personal experience along the 13 and spurs:

  • Significant dead standing snags, downed timber, and hazardous trees remain along the entirety after the American fire.

  • Regrowth of manzanita has become very significant in the past several years, making hiking difficult and obscuring hazards.

  • Many very large trees (40"+ dia) were cut and left on the slopes in a manner that they could be released and slide if the ground or vegetation below them is disturbed. Take extra precaution in the vicinity of Manila Creek, numerous widow makers remain that I havenā€™t been able to remove personally.

  • There are areas of the paved road which have been undermined by erosion and pose a risk of collapse under the weight of a 'dozer - Iā€™d strongly recommend having a spotter running ahead before bringing equipment down

  • Iā€™ve nearly hit very large bears on several occasions on the flats.

  • There are numerous mines in the area which are not mapped, some of which have uncollared vertical shafts or open stopes exposed, but are now overgrown with manzanita.

  • Large rocks to boulders the size of a small car regularly fall into the roadway.

Be careful out there, and feel free to contact me with questions.

Branch XX, div KK request going out for additional 2 Charlies and a Golf to the vicinity of Wentworth Springs & Volcanoville. Fire activity picking up, looking to put fire on the ground to protect the structures in the area.

Our Mosquito Fire livestream from this morning is live on our website. We cover fire spread thru 10pm last night, and also look at the Cedar Creek Fire, in Oregon.

Skip to 1:30 if you want to miss me shaking my head over technical disasters.
