Fire

"There were four sustained crown runs on the fire today."

Gloriously noisy timber fire events, reduced to ten innocuous words.

I'd imagine Happy Camp will hit 100,000 acres this afternoon.

Uggh, true

When I lived down river a bit, a big local fire was a godsend for the local economy. Unless things have changed drastically, that would still be true.

The HP Complex could get into the Marbles, lots of rotten old growth, few roads, nasty terrain. Watching the columns "bloom" on NOAA satellite views is interesting.

Small fire above my place yesterday.

What's that thing doing today?

Meh, I think this Canadian cold front smacked it down.

I heard 'Goat Creek Fire' on the scanner today. Which, if in the same location, is ironically where I was for the Scout Lake fire last year.

Poopy steep ground.

After Canuckistan craps on us the next few days -- we're supposed to be back in the high 70's. Maybe I might get on one easy little fire? Ya never know?

We're forecasted for an east wind event over this weekend, with temps in the 80's. If we get starts, they should grow quickly.

Let's hope we get no starts. There was a fire near Mineral already.

Agreed.

EDIT: oh, look... a Red Flag Warning. Imagine that!

105,000 acres, 30% containment, cow face ground, hot, dry, windy...you Oregon boys might be getting in on this one.

Freshwater Lagoon this morning around 8:15

That is not fog, it is vaporized timber

click the 1km loop on the left sidebar. Looks like the HP Complex put up a good sized plume.
