- Overall, smoke outputs are diminishing from the
Pilot, Mineral, and Horseshoe Fires. Some smoke may pool into the valley areas
overnight in areas adjacent to fires. No visible columns of smoke present on
yesterday’s Modis satellite imagery.
- Bluesky is likely over predicting the smoke
impacts today from the Pilot, Horseshoe, and Mineral Fires. This error is likely due over estimates of
today’s fire activity from the three fires.
- Pilot Fire (San Bernardino County) – 8,115 acres
with 80 containment reported this morning.
Acreage growth was 216 compared to yesterday’s figures. Smoke impacts should
be similar or lessened compared to yesterday in Hesperia, Apple Valley, and
Victorville. Firing operations and an
interior flare-up produced smoke yesterday.
- Mineral Fire (western Fresno County) – Active
fire behavior forecast for the next 24 hours, 7,050 acres with 35% containment
reported this morning. Acreage growth was 98 compared to yesterday’s figures. Some smoke may be present in the Coalinga area. No planned firing operations today.
- Horseshoe Fire (southwestern Inyo County) – Fire
activity diminishing, 362 acres with 50% containment this morning. The acreage
of the fire has been revised downwards due to more accurate mapping. Smoke is
only expected to be in the immediate fire vicinity.
