This, and with the upcoming wind event and PG&E PSPS, stop it now before it really becomes a problem.
Silver lining to all of the smoke cover, surface heating and subsequent local wind patterns are minimized to not conflagrate an already receptive fuel bed

Not certain of the exact location, but sounds like this is down on the south facing slope at the bottom of the Yuba river, where it is a BIG canyon. Remote access through the town of Washington or up from Graniteville on small roads. Either way about a hour to drive. Have been down there. A lot of mountain misery and pines.

With the right conditions, could be a Jones incident all over again coming out of the canyon, plus the 49’er fire with the wind event (irony of the date not withstanding). Only saving grace is the location… Less populated AND TNF doing all of the fuel mitigation along the 20 corridor.
Regardless, a good stop is a good stop. Good job to all involved!
