Wondering if this was the smoke reported just after the strawberry fire. Not sure if it was being staffed yet but STF had calls for the hetch hetchy area.

I even checked that the link worked, but didn’t notice the different region.
I must have started my journey up in Shasta and it kept that region in the link. 
I think that would be the Sierra and Foothill cameras not Shasta Modoc, Duckwall and Hobron cameras

Correct spelling is Tiltill. It’s the valley to the east of the fire.

Thats a good burn. I was backpacking there several years ago and that area was so chocked full of brush. The brush was double overhead in some places.
I was up there in April of this year and hiked up Mt Gibson which is in the middle of the burn. It was covered with trees to the top so the views might be a little better now. There’s a lot of nice granite in that area. As far as fires go, this one seems fairly benign, could even be beneficial. I’ll probably head up there again early next year for some before-and-after photos.
