Ever been to incident command on a big fire?

It’s quite an operation.

Let me show you around “fire camp” on the #cottonwoodfire

[Sarah Murphy @SarahMurphyTV]

Just received an “imminent threat alert” in Eureka.

Winds strong. Smoke thick.

New wildfire (name unclear) burning an estimated 20 thousand acres.

Residents placed on “set” status, meaning they should be prepared to leave at any point.

Smoke taking over Juab County.

I’m at a viewpoint overlooking the new Maple Peak & Cherry wildfires, both burning 500 acres at this point.

Strong winds & extremely dry conditions mean reports can change fast.
