When I drove over the mountain on the Alderpoint road around 8ish there were a number of people pulled over watching the smoke. I would guess they were somewhere near where your photographer was. I saw a red flash and a small plane fly away, so I would guess that the red in this photo is fire retardant being dropped, not flames. I watched a few minutes and got the impression that the fire fighters were gaining the upper hand. Hope so. Guess we wait for the official update.

[edit] You have NO idea what happened. It had nothing to do with a greenhouse. Fires aren’t anything to treat casually or make snide comments about. It’s fire season. Get your head straight.

Actually I know exactly what happened, they built a greenhouse and then burnt it down. But I appreciate your point of view
