flared up this evening east of town, likely due to sparks along the railroad, with local firefighters and aerial crews immediately attacking the fast spreading fire. I snapped these images with my smartyphone camera on the trail, then retreated for a wider view.
Four AT-802F Fire Boss aircraft attack the fire with several helicopters and a spotter plane in support.
The day after: Still smoldering pine duff at the southwestern edge of the fire margin. The trail is closed and crews are still on site.
