more fires... Don't know which is bringing heavy smoke. A lot of them apparently broke out today called TCU SEPTEMBER LIGHTENING COMPLEX. One is near Elk Grove #RockFire , Coyote Fire (not new), Douglas Flat, Angels Camp, RedHills/Chinese Camp and maybe some unknowns.
I was 24 hours off on predicted timing, but the #RockFire has finally downgraded the SET evacuation status to READY
I don't really consider this fire active at this point; mop-up & rehab will continue as will occasional interior burning
I'll probably give a final look at it tomorrow #IdahoFire
Heads up for those in the Tamarack area below the #RockFire, these slow-moving, very wet, storms look like they're headed your way over the next few hours. They're causing flash flooding SE of you -- if this amount of rain hits that very fresh burned area, it won't be pretty. #IdahoFire
As the #RockFire enters the late stages of mop-up, fire managers are mapping and planning Suppression Repair work. Here's their first map of what work needs to be done. #IdahoFire
See 🧵 about rehab from last week for context
The #RockFire is now up to 23% of perimeter fire lines meeting containment standards. Mop-up continues. Fire crews have deployed a total of 115 miles of fire hose. #IdahoFire
I can't imagine that SET evacuation status sticks around long, probably will be reduced in the next 48 hours.
There has been steady progress on the east side of the fire, where crews continue to reinforce containment lines.

atmospheric effect with further hills more gauzy and hard to make out, grazed pasture at bottom, mountains just above, and smoky pastel to blue above
Jughandle before sunrise
Todd from McCall Weather ( www.facebook.com/McCallWX ) says all this smoke is not from the #RockFire, but coming from the #IslandCreekFire northeast of here. #IdahoFire #sunrise
I expect the #RockFire containment % to start creeping up in the next day or so. Entire fire is lined, 90% of it by dozer. And most of that backed by hoselays. Expect heli work, and occasional fixed wing drop but the air show is over unless something bad happens.
#IdahoFire
As I said in my IdahoFire.org #RockFire email, the firefighters (still) have the upper hand. Most of the current heat is from a burnout. There's dozer line around most of it, working on mop-up. I'd say it's pinned down, but this is Subapline fir, only takes one torch & puff of wind to lose it.
The #Rockfire is currently at 2,769 acres with 0% containment. It’ll be in the 80’s today. Time to get those birds in the air and start dropping buckets!
Please be mindful of the READY and SET zones. Be prepared because there may not be a GO warning. Be safe ♥️
Fairly quiet today on the #RockFire,
SEATs (fireboss scoopers) working a line on the west slope to prevent growth to the north. Helicopters are working four hotspots, two in Tamarack Ski Area (around south of the border) and two on the west slope.

Finally have something to write about this season in the IdahoFire.org newsletter...
A closer look at what I'm seeing on the #RockFire

Wrapped my daily analysis of the #RockFire -- my thoughts are a bit much to post here, so it's probably time to make the first IdahoFire.org fire analysis post of the season.

UPDATE: The Rock Fire remains active and is currently burning within the southern boundary of Tamarack Resort.

Seeing quite a bit of torching going on at the #RockFire this evening. Subalpine fir is notorious for throwing spot fires off of torches
here's a vid from the team on the west mountain complex last year www.facebook.com/watch/?v=318...
pasture turning from summer green to oncoming fall browns, blue sky dotted with morning-lit white clouds, grey haze of wildfire smoke on the horizon with one smoky band running to 10 o'clock from center
#RockFire smoke, Saturday morning
#IdahoFire
Amazing work.

#superscoopers
Maybe the Super Scoopers are heading home to NIFC? They could need to refuel or maybe not cleared for night ops? Their pilots are such amazing aviators.

Really like what I'm seeing on the #RockFire this afternoon. I think the danger to residences and tamarack is pretty damn low at this point.
SEATs are working the west side of the ridge, helicopters are doing bucket work on hotspots on the east side. #IdahoFire

The Rock Fire continues to burn alongside Tamarack Resort as fire crews reinforce control lines along the Bliss ski trail. A Flash Flood Warning is also in effect until tomorrow morning.

This #RockFire photo from the Tamarack Summit Cam at 1am this (Thursday) morning caught my eye--just a cool nighttime fire photo w/ the moon reflecting on the lake.
Minimal growth today on the fire, I remain fairly optimistic given current & forecasted conditions. #IdahoFire
On Thursday, Idaho News 6 neighborhood reporter Brady Caskey was on the scene as "Super Scooper" aircraft pulled water out of Lake Cascade near Donnelly and dropped it on the nearly 2,000-acre Rock Fire.

This video of the #RockFire is one of the best I've seen of any fire. Again, if anyone needs a place to evacuate, please let me know. I've got folks prepared to host and they all accept animals in their house.
official ops map of the rock fire showing perimeter on the edge of the ski area with spot fires well into it
map I made of rock fire showing official perimeter along with VIIRS/MODIS heat signatures and yellow line indicating *roughly* where retardant work and scooper drops were focusing yesterday
I'm leading a six-hour meeting today, so I'll be afk a bunch. but here's a *quick* look at the morning ops map (left) and a map I made (right) of the #RockFire around Tamarack. #IdahoFire overall, I'm encouraged by what I see
you can toss questions at me today, I'll try to reply during breaks.

I'm seeing a lot of low-ish intensity fire, which is great. I'm really hoping there's a couple of hotshot crews grabbing their drip torches right now for a little nighttime firing op...
