Looking at the cameras…I think there might be two fires. THe Hawkins peak cam is not aimed at where the aircraft are working the fire coming off of the other cam.

Definitely possible.
Also, the cameras are often a bit off with their shaded “angle of view” projections on the map.

Sketchy wind shift @ 16:20.

The camera targets are off a bit but both are looking at the same fire east of Indian creek reservoir.

That’s a prescribed burn that’s been going for a while.

Saw on the cam retardant being dropped and the ArcGis link above shows it a wildland fire

I wonder if he was referring to the smoke on the Bunker Hill cam that someone started a thread on. Pointing at a weeks old VMP

I was referring to the camera “target” lines not being correct apparently, and if they were accurate, there would be 2 fires, but it seems there is only 1 and the cameras alignment markers are off

Fire laying low this morning. Started waking up around 11:00
Around that time another start just across Nevada border. Wind has picked up a little bit on both in the last 20-30.

They zoomed to the other fire occasionally, but it’s typically showing in the far left side of the camera.
