@MichaelWX18 @wildland_zko Thanks, I used to work at BCCER and have been wondering what it looks like on the ground.

@dangerdead666 @Hotshot_Movie Check out @wildland_zko he's doing a great job covering the fire. The Lookout on YouTube is an awesome resource.

I did a double-take when I saw these stats, but to emphasize how remarkable this is: Redding, CA--a modest city in the far northern Sacramento Valley, no stranger to summer heat--broke every single high temperature record across a 1 to 21-day averaging period in the past month. 👀 #CAwx

@wildland_zko Watching that much money being thrown on a fire is mesmerizing.

Video is from Boggs Copter 601 on the #RidgeFire.

Priorities tonight are to hold the fire west of Bear Valley Rd, south of Brim Rd & at HWY 20 on the south side. The fire is still traveling NE. Firefighters are expecting a potential wind shift at sundown, coming from the north.

@CA_Wildfires Please ask someone for help. Reach out to friends, family members, or call a crisis lifeline @ 988 and just talk.

@NWSWPC This climate change situation is really getting out of hand.

Unseasonably warm air surges into the eastern third of the country leading to widespread record low temperatures Thursday night https://t.co/A3RX3bxaUJ

[Palisades Tahoe @palisadestahoe]

At approximately 9:30am today at Palisades Tahoe, an avalanche occurred on the Palisades side, specifically above the GS gully area of KT-22. Our Patrol and mountain operations teams are performing a search at this time. Both sides of our mountain will be closed for the day.

@wildland_zko I've used a blender before. I will make your fish smoothie dreams come true. Private message me for details.

Prescribed fire season is underway in the Willamette Valley! #GoodFire

The main purpose of these burns is restoring white oak savannas, which are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the West, with only 2% remaining.

@wildland_zko Did the models predict the barn fire that is happening down the street from me? JK ... but a barn on fire north of me and red flag conditions during a north wind event, I was a tad bit nervous.

Here is our 8/24 morning Lookout livestream with intel and discussion on Smith River and KNF Happy Camp Complex fires: https://t.co/DU15Y9ZKvD

Does anyone know what is going on with the #NIROPS infrared plane/sensor? So many fires UTF for 'mechanical' reasons...

[Zeke Lunder ~ The Lookout @wildland_zko]

This morning's Lookout video reviews new intel for the many fires burning in NW California. We talk about why firefighters won't be able to stop most of the largest ones from spreading until they run out of fuel or rain puts them out.
