Park fire (c4 zone)

[TBIRRER]

Just got word our family’s cabins up there all burned down

Dang, sorry to hear that. Were the cabins in Mill Creek? Fire got about two and a half miles from our ranch. They've been getting a lot of water from our springs and using a couple of our ponds as dipping spots with the helicopters.

Couple miles north.
Right across from Panther springs,
they call it the boondocks.

My first few deer were all from the mill creek area

So sorry to hear... feel sick to my stomach for the migration deer heard, show up to the traditional winter grounds, all the feed is burned up...was talking to a couple of other guys about supplemental feeding, but know our dfg won't do that...

It will be hard on them at first, but the new growth and a healthier forest will be beneficial.
Wish they would do more prescribed burns

Do you guys live on the ranch?
That’s a short distance for this fire to cover

 

[PCPython]

Yes, we live on the ranch. There's two helicopters dipping from my pond as I type this. I think they're trying to knock down some hot spots up on Inskip.

The wind is not helping their efforts this afternoon.

I am sorry to hear about your cabin. You are right about the habitat, however. The challenge will be getting DFG to look out for the deer as the vegetation returns. Too often, timber companies and USFS put all of their attention into growing timber, and kill the oaks and other plants the deer need. The country around Almanor is looking very good for deer, but I doubt that it will last if hunters don't make their voices heard.

 

[PCPython]

It's angry right now!

Got almost the same view from Magalia.. looks like 7 choppers , 2 planes on that area now.

Tough conditions today.

I bet it won't be opened for bow opener..jester

 

[mod700]

Well, they got a bunch of borate bombers on it again, it's about 9 miles s.w of hwy 32/36 intersection. Hopefully they can rein this thing down some.. hoping all the firefighters stay safe!

Is the smoke heading North East? Will it hit Janesville?
