There is now some MODIS/VIIRS heat detection data for the #MountainFire, Ventura County, CA. However, the fire is moving fast and the fire front has moved *much* further SW'ly than that satellite data.

So right now there is no reason to post a MODIS/VIIRS map and doing so might mislead people as to the fire's location and danger people in that area might be in.

Umm. Hi.

Been away a minute.

Is #cawildfire / #wildfire / #cawx stuff happening here anymore?

Was out at the #SitesFire today for #abc10.

The people in Leesville, #California - a rural community of ranchers- were spared the loss of their homes.

Our story from #ColusaCounty today: https://youtu.be/Fnkl6hudkc4?si=Euo8as6NFf0BJnMS

Huh. Driving slow bc traffuck sb on I5 into Sacramento, looking west towards the Bay just south of the curve in the road after the airport, and saw this.

Not the right placement for the fire near Tracy I dont think, so I think uh. New start? Doesn't look right for a building fire. Have seen at least three fire vehicles go howling up NB. #fire #wildfire #cawildfire #cafire @ai6yr (location when pic taken approx just after I5 & 99 join thru Sacramento.)

#SchoolFire near #Maricopa in Kern County. approx 100 acres, moving fast. Requesting 2 Air Tankers and 2 additional copters - Per IC.

Incident Command has requested Evacuation Warnings for Zones 289 and 291
