05:30 Saturday - Scanner report that the #NewellRoadFire near Roosevelt, #Washington has burned a house, barn, and two outbuildings. The most recent size estimate has it at 2400 ha.
It burned under some of our wind turbines overnight but so far it isn’t in our solar park.

Listening to scanner traffic of the #NewellRoadFire and it astonished me that Klickitat County doesn’t have a way to track the position of their teams. More than half of the radio traffic is asking where people are.
This would be a great use of #APRS. The county could strategically place digipeaters to get locations even in areas without cell service, which are common in that county.

At work this evening we have a #wildfire (#NewellRoadFire) burning at the base of some of our #wind turbines and heading toward our #solar. We’ve shut off generation to some turbines but with how fast fires burn in arid regions the risk of damage to them is minimal. Very interested to see what happens at the solar park, though.

Yellow squares are heat detection by GOES West satellite. Heat locations are only *approximate*. Most likely not all the yellow area is burning. Heat detections are sometimes just smoke+embers. #WAfire #WAwx #wildfire
