Fire

Dang.

Sounds like all the precautions proclaimed to be taken are not working. Heard from a reliable source that at least two people on an FS crew, that travels, have tested positive. Two others are refusing to get tested.

The Fire God mentality is still alive and well.

We were out on a small fire last night. The brush rigs work well.

Worked the Gold fire up in Modoc east of McArthur.
I will say they were pretty dialed and blunt about their expectations during this and that masks were required by all while in camp and briefings
IC stated “if that’s not going to work for you, your demob trailer is right next to the exit.
An individual wandered up to our division briefing unmasked and was instantly and openly chastised, and told you got 5 min to figure it out
Briefing was done on a dedicated Tac channel for people not in a primary or leader role

And that's the way it needs to be, wear your mask or GTFO.

Bout sums it up. The full pronunciation of GTFU was used ))

Leaders intent “ If this feels like last years season, you’re in the WRONG place !!!!!!! “

Masks won't do jack to protect from a virus, but they give the ignorant something to feel important about.

Maybe not but they will keep individuals on the fire line employed plus it's not a bad thing to filter dirt and other junk being inhaled out on the line.

And it makes using a Butt-Hut that more pleasurable ))

The Lake fire on the Angeles is hauling ass into the desert and heading towards lake Hughes, 10k in less than 4 hours.

That's crazy to be able to consume that much so quickly. There must be some pretty high winds. The big fire in my neighborhood, the Loma Fire took almost a week to consume 4000 acres in 2016.

Lake fire starting.

To add to some fire weather insanity here is a screenshot from NWS Reno.

To keep with the theme the pyrocb from the lake fire is generating lots of lightning .
It's slightly left of center picture.

Any info on the Loyalton fire would be greatly appreciated. My grandpa lives in Loyalton, but not answering the phone. Not sure if the town itself is affected or not. Thanks in advance guys.

No evacuation of loyalton issued and right now the fire is heading northeast away from there. They may not have power in that area right now.

Thank you very much for the information.

Thank you very much for the information.

Now they are under an evacuation advisory.

Now they are under an evacuation advisory.

I spoke with my grandpa earlier, and he was gathering important stuff to grab and leave when needed. Pretty crazy fire so far it seems like. It's been a long time since they have had a big fire in the area. The last big one was called the cottonwood fire I believe. Thank you for the heads up again.
