    At least 4 tankers working it now. But all the drops are southwest of silver lake. I guess it is too dangerous to try dropping it directly west or northwest of silver lake or kirkwood lake.

      I have seen big tankers drop right along the fire line in rugged terrain. They are laying down a line of retardant along the south side of 88, away from the fire. Maybe they figure they can't slow the fire down north of 88 and are hoping to make stand stand along the highway.

      On TV, they show the fire is really ripping north of Caples Lake.

      They showed a cabin, brush and a couple of trees burning about a mile NE of Echo Summit.

        Just saw on TV - At least 3 more spot fires east of Echo Summit.

          Its burning into Carson Spur at Thunder Mountain trailhead, crossed over 88 just North of Silver Lake and West of Kirkwood Ski resort. I dont see any fire North of Caples Lake yet. Unless you are referring to Echo Summit

                I've seen reports that it's crossed 89 now. Not good folks.

                  The map from calfire showed it had crossed 89 at a bit before 5pm.

                    Yep - sadly on both sides of Highway 89.

                      I see what you mean. The fire closing in on Caples is still at least 6 miles away to the northwest. I was going by what they said on TV.

                          Webcam view to the south, from Angora Ridge between Fallen Leaf and Highway 50. Fire coming down the hill.

                            Looking at the embercast over Christmas Valley and the wind forecast for tonight, there's a good chance the fire will be in Nevada by midday tomorrow. Hopefully SLT will be saved.


                            I caught that new camera up at Heather Circle earlier, the time lapse showed them setting it up. Sure are a lot of headlights moving around in an evacuated area; tonight's going to be rough for structure protection....

                              Ok- probably a silly question
                              Most of these ski resorts have the ability to make snow!

                              So they have large pumps and pump lake water uphill and out of giant hose nozzles.


                              Would this help save trees at kirkwood?
