Ah. Good to know. Thanks!

Hand line...typo

The black H is completed hand line, purple is planned handling as I recall...

Trua, I think that means Hand Line

I was looking at the map yesterday and glad to see Burnt Flat was not in the fire. Years ago you could drive down there and pick apples. Was a little pond there too. Was a pretty spot.

I was under the impression that on a burn map like this, the black "H-H-H-H-H" line was considered "containment". Am I mistaken? Seems like it's more like 50% contained, not 15% if that's the case.

GOLD FIRE
I just uploaded a couple of maps to the Gold Incident. One is a current burn map and one is an IR map. Both provided by the USFS/Calfire.

Good thing is the footprint hasn't really expanded that much over the past couple of days. (YAY!)
