(Don’t mind my editor calling me in the middle of it all) /hfzlt7Kwur Satellite information showed it to be very close to Highway 395 and may have crossed it again. The most extreme growth Tuesday and Tuesday night was south of Janesville west of Honey Lake where it ran for six miles. The white line was the perimeter on the morning of August 17, 2021. The red areas represent heat detected by a satellite at 3:45 a.m. South of the valley more of the perimeter spread into the two-year old Walker Fire. On the east side, south of last year’s Sheep Fire, it was very active in Wilcox Valley.

While much of the north edge backed into the wind and grew closer to Hwy. There has been no recent fixed wing perimeter mapping flight, but the satellite data suggests that the fire did not grow much closer to Susanville Tuesday. Their report helpfully included the information that, “California historically experiences some of the most devastating wildfires.” The Incident Management Team reported Wednesday morning that the total size was 635,000 acres, an increase of 31,000 over the previous update, but it is not clear if that included all of the massive growth over the previous 24 hours. This growth south of the park alone burned about 13,000 acres. It mostly remained east of Highway 36, but satellite data shows that it likely crossed the road five miles east of Mineral. Predominantly from the northwest Tuesday, the winds pushed the fire from Lassen Volcanic National Park three to four miles south. The white line was the perimeter on the morning of August 17, 2021.Ī wind event hit the Dixie Fire Tuesday, and from a direction we have rarely seen since the fire started from a PG&E power line on July 13.
