I feel like the Hawk was asking a rhetorical here. It’s a very good point though and it plagues the fire service in one form or another from LG to Fed.

It’s been trying to cap out for a while and probably will really get with it in the next hour or so.

History repeats itself as evidenced by many fires over the years that duplicate an earlier or many earlier fire footprints, i.e. Oakland-Berkeley Hills (1923, 1946, 1970, 1991).
The Washburn Fire must be closely watched to be sure it does not duplicate the 1961 Harlow Fire which burned nearby. Attached is the fire progression map for the Harlow Fire which I believe IMT_Geek posted a week or so ago at this website.

Many spots over the north head of the fire into Merced River Drainage.
GOES17 should light up a bright orange by night fall.
Mapped 466 acres before the spots.

Roger so it will hit SRA.
Hopefully LG and the state can start moving resources to the area.

Not with the current direction it’s burning, it’s heading further into the park.

It could, but it have to jump 41 for it to do that
