Wildfire on N-F Rd then Prewitt?

And, tonight, this:

08/14/2010 17:12 LPF-2508 (New) Wildfire Prewitt Ridge

I just looked across at Prewitt, and I don’t see any smoke. I am guessing this was a illegal campfire. I will definitely be watching closely for the next hour.

From earlier today:

Whatever this was, nothing ever came from it.

From LPNF WildCAD link:

08/14/2010 12:16 LPF-2498 (New) Wildfire Nacimento Road 1mi west or Ponderosa CG

LPNF WildCAD is reporting this: 08/14/2010 11:36 LPF-2494 (New) Wildfire Nacimiento Road 3 mi inside the boundry

I do not know if these are related, if it is one and the same with a more accurate location, or ???

I have not found any additional details, I do not see any column or smoke drift, so I am NOT concerned.

  • An illegal or abandoned campfire is statused as a wildfire for reporting purposes in Wildcad. A good way to decipher what you are looking at on Wildcad would be to look at the resource status, this will show you who is there. If there are multiple units under the incident number it is an actual wildland response.
