Couple other camera views:
I think the fire is now largely in the Bison Fire (24,000 Acres 2013) scare.
It might be loosing a tiny bit of its significant intensity but it might also speed up in the lighter fuels.
Calfire n461df out of porterville is mapping the fire.
13,900 acres
I am not familiar with the area. What is burning there? That is a lot of dense black smoke.
Juniper, Sage Brush and Grass plus with the ROS and wind anything else that was out in front of it.
Here is a streetview from nearby, appears a lot of juniper trees, they can put off black smoke pretty good.
