There is a fire along Parrots Ferry Rd. that started north of the bridge. It has gone to 1,000 acres in about 3 hours with no containment. There is a lot of brush and grass in that area with some oaks and Digger Pines. That thing has the potential to get really big. Unfortunately, it will pull resources away from other fires.

Looks like the air assets knocked it down, the last hour time-lapse shows some smoke but not aggressive. However, this could be how the Caldor fire went, it popped up, they painted it, left it and it sat and stewed and then exploded. Fire path appears to be a few old burn scars and fresh meat and a river canyon so hopefully it won't go like that. |

The header from the Airola Fire in Calaveras county is clearly visible from my house. It's pumping a lot of smoke.
Aircraft are hitting it hard. Fortunately, the Columbia Air Attack Base is a very short flight to the fire. It does look like it's calmed down a bit. Hopefully it will lay down tonight to give the ground crews a fighting chance. I pray the fire stays in Calaveras. If it jumps the New Melones Lake, things would get dicey for Columbia. -P

I saw they had air tankers from Santa Rosa and Hollister to go along with the 2 in Columbia. I'm not sure what other planes they had there, if any.

Been listening to the scanner. Sounds like they are in good shape going overnight. . .

If you know where the 2013 Bridges fire was or know where Parrot's Ferry road curves away from the reservoir and translate to the opposite side, that the general location of where GOES is currently showing, in the last 10 minutes anyway, the hottest part of the fire. Modis and Viirs haven't picked it up yet. The wind is currently blowing out of the north. Here's a blowup of the current data, of course subject to change.

Preston CLB is only 2-3 south of the fire. I wonder if he is getting smoked out yet.

Good news, apparently their efforts late yesterday helped settle things overnight, very little heat this morning.
BTW, the mapping tool I use and post in threads has a cool measuring tool that with a couple clicks one can estimate distances between points pretty accurately. It might be off a bit in steep terrain but provides a general indication. In the case of Arnold, it's a bit over 14 miles from the fire site. |

Looking from my place this morning, the fire has really laid down--not much smoke showing. Wind is from the south, and very light right now.
The fire is WNW of my place. Smoke was sorta nasty at 2200 last night, but just a hint this morning. The air attack yesterday was very effective--they hit it hard. Update from local news this morning: 700 Ac and 10% contained. We'll see what today brings. -P

The little red dots are hotspots.
The link takes you to the Caldor fire but you can move and zoom from there https://napsg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/w...T0d3kktHdsYDeQ |

I don't see any smoke in the direction of the fire. Flightradar24 shows a helicopter and an OV-10 spotter plane over the fire, and that's it.
