I’ve been watching WildCAD change the IC every 12 hours on the Plaskett Fire since it was supposedly out, and I wondered what that was about. Today I found out. I had company today, including Rock Knocker. Plaskett Ridge Rd was closed at the bottom to all but local traffic … Still.

I called 911 for a resident on Plasket Ridge Rd who was notified of the fire by the driver of the car that started it. I have the drivers info the vehicle info and the owner of the vehicles info and I told the 911 operator that I would have the info for USFS if they needed it but no one has attempted to make contact with me.
I will attempt to contact them tomorrow.
