Growth since last period: 22,579   acres

Comments/notes on last night's mission and the interpretation:
From Infrared Interpreter's Daily Log
  • The fire was active again on the northern front, but burning into a backfire along the roads. There were two distinct lines of heat on the imagery. One was the burnout, and the other was the actual fire front. Both had quite a bit of intense heat.
  • On the west side around Greer, there was quite a bit of heat, but not further into the community. The rest of the west side had intense heat and advancement to the west. 
  • The south side of the fire is still creeping to the south with the southwestern side being the most active.
  • One portion of the fire on the east has pushed to within about 1500 feet from the New Mexico state line burning down toward  the Blue River.
  • There is a portion of the east side that is burning downhill back into Alpine with intense heat. The perimeter moved about .4 miles closer to Alpine since the previous IR.
  • The northeast side of the fire has cooled off quite a bit.
