The Bootleg Fire made another big run yesterday being fed by gusty winds and very low humidity and an extremely receptive fuel source. Based on the latest Infrared flight mapping as of this morning the Bootleg Fire is estimated at 232,763 acres with only 5% containment listed. The fire grew another 11,253 acres in the last 24 hours.

Anyone have contact with the GIS on this team? I am trying to support an OES Strike Team with ATAK data packages and notice some of the maps are not exported as georeferenced pdfs. Any lead would be great. You can PM me.

The Bootleg and Log fires are seeing an increase in fire behavior this afternoon as winds increase. Visible satellite as well as radar are picking up on pyrocumulus clouds developing. The fire temperature from GOES-West satellite also depicts the increase in activity and fire behavior. This is indicative of the orange glow on the active flanks of the fire in tgrr red third image. The north and northeast flanks appears to be the most active. The team currently assigned to the fire indicates there is potential for the Bootleg and Log fires to merge today. Fire crews have pulled back from the main fire but continue to scout new containment line opportunities to the north and east. Image 4 shows estimated cloud tops of the pyrocumulus clouds at around 22-29k feet.

Looks like they may have got precipitation because heat dropped of quite a bit on north side of bootleg and log. There may have been a column collapse over the log.

This is at 2055 from the Bly camp. Sounds like log column collapsed. Definitely impacted fire behavior at least on the south end of the fire.

I applogize-

Does anyone have a better source than FTP?

Can someone let the SITL/GIS folks know.

Bootleg Update July 16, 2021
Size: 241,497 acres
Containment: 7%
Personnel: 1,921

For the fourth day in a row, firefighters withdrew from leading edges of the Bootleg Fire as extreme fire conditions fueled expansive fire growth. In the late afternoon, a large pyrocumulus cloud ‘collapsed’ further spreading embers to the east of the main fire and prompting additional evacuation notices for the communities of Summer Lake and Spring Lake in Lake County. Crews worked through the night to get dozer lines around spot fires over the 34 Road to the southeastern edge of the fire. To the north, crews continued to work against very active surface fire, spotting up to a half mile ahead of the main fire, and dry southern winds.

“The Bootleg Fire perimeter is more than 200 miles long- that’s an enormous amount of line to build and hold.” said Rob Allen, Incident Commander for the Pacific Northwest Area Incident Management Team 2. “We are continuing to use every resource from dozers to air tankers to engage where it’s safe to do so especially with the hot, dry, windy conditions predicted to worsen into the weekend.”

On Thursday, firefighters made excellent progress on the southern edge of the fire as winds pushed the fire back into itself. On the fire’s western edge, firefighters continue to successfully hold the existing containment lines and are patrolling for any remaining hotspots near the fireline. In addition, several crews will continue working to protect and wrap houses towards Paisley and Summer Lake as a precaution ahead of potential fire growth toward those communities over the coming days. Additional structural firefighters will arrive today to assist the east side of the fire with structure protection.
