Definitely building. Wind and slope aligned even if it in the NE facing slope. Access will be slow. Now air assets yet but they would have a clean shot at the fire.

Possible scanner (not sure if it does USFS freqs or not):

edit: it doesn’t sound like that scanner is picking anything from this up.

I appears that the fire topped one ridge, traversed a drainage and is working up the next ridge. Wind is still ENE and slope aligned.

There is no HTF-feed on broadcastify. Unfortunately.

T-912 and T-16 enroute…

Per Sierra Front, this is the Evans fire, 35-80 acres

Fire is reaching the top of that second ridge. There is a little bit of a flat past that ridge.
There are spots out in that flat.

Wind is trying to change to the afternoon Washoe Zypher westerly direction.

Fires do have a strong tendency to run hard downhill in the afternoon there. Hope everybody is heads up.
