I should NOT be able to see the plume from the August fire but it looks like a nuke went off over there…all the same I just typed for the RedSalmon fire too. It is going nuts out there.
Today is a “perfect storm” for explosive fire growth. High winds, very low relative humidity, and bone dry fuels, along with limited Fire resources available make today dangerous for everyone. If you live in an evacuation area, get out! Dont try to stay behind in these conditions..
And then there’s October. We’ve got a long way to go.
