#MosquitoFire (#Foresthill, Placer Co/El Dorado Co) - From the townhall meeting: they were lucky today w/ the inversion & smoke setting in for the day: didn't see that extreme fire behavior from yesterday. ~2,000 firefighters being moved in to the fire.
#MosquitoFire - Branch 5 (Foresthill) has been holding really good. They've been able to do some mop up in there today & get more lines in around Foresthill. They were able to get into Branch 20 (Volcanoville) to do some mopup around structures, looking to get some line in there.
#MosquitoFire - They've been doing a lot of scouting in the areas towards the east. It's big country & a lot of steep drainages. From the fire behavior analyst: yesterday at 12pm it was 8,000 acres. Temp was 95, RH was 15% & winds were 6mph. That resulted in a 21,000 acre growth.

(Mosquito) - You may have seen this in the @watchdutyapp. This was my error & mine only. I lapsed in concentration while editing/creating the map on the Google My Maps platform & the perimeter was not where it was supposed to be. I sincerely apologize for that. Image
We've been looking for ways to provide maps in a simple format that people can view & scroll, without having to view older perimeters of the same fire. This appeared to be a good solution but is currently being reviewed for better processes & to ensure it doesn't happen again.
I can tell you that any information (scanner info, maps etc) I provide is in good faith, to the best of my ability. I never ever want to mislead anyone. No excuses. I apologize again to anybody who was able to view it in the time that it was available prior to being removed.
