#flatfire — Public Fediverse posts

Man, the #FlatFire is making national news now.

But for some good news, it looks like central Oregon is getting much needed rain. Hopefully it helps fire teams a chance to get it under control before it gets any closer to #Sisters.

Today's near-surface smoke map for SW Oregon. Smoky here on the south coast due to incessant firing operation on the #FlatFire

#FlatFire

Drove the 101 to Coos Bay yesterday, large smoke plume east of Pistol River due to firing on the SW flank of the #FlatFire, hope they don't eff it up, it was pretty windy yesterday afternoon.. Chevron closed at Port Orford as the card lock tank sprung a leak so right now there is no gas between Gold Beach & Bandon, 60 miles, Stopped at Ophir for a bit and had lunch at Bullard Beach SP N of Bandon. Bad accident near Langlois. This driving 200 miles to see a doctor is just nuts.

Appears they are lighting up the roads SE of Game Lake #FlatFire

Just had a DC-10 fly over from the #FlatFire. You would think it was a clear blue sky here but when it flew over it looked like a ghost through the haze

appears that it's been a good day on the fire lines a little movement to the south. I imagine it's going to be a long night for the firefighters. I hope all & our neighbors stay safe and get ready for some smoke #FlatFire

#FlatFire at first glance, growth on all fronts, appears to be firing operations on the western flank. I am 30 miles from this fire and my car is covered in ash this morning

July 18 afternoon. #FlatFire SW Oregon.
The wind has been blowing to the west so some of the MODIS and VIIRS heat detections might be smoke+embers but not actual fire on the ground.

If there is an infrared flight tonight then I will post an updated map in the morning showing the latest perimeter and acres burned.
