Explainer for rapid growth of 2018 Camp Fire in northern California. No paywall.10km =~ 6.2 miles!!!!
"Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to 10) kilometers ahead of the main fire front. These firebrands ignited dense clusters of new fires that merged into rapidly advancing lobes, producing abrupt surges in fire growth that exceeded expectations based on surface wind and fuel conditions alone."

Though we live in suburbia, we also border a wildlife refuge area. So we sometimes get close encounters with our non-human neighbors, when doing things as mundane as taking out trash or coming home from work. It also places us in an wildland-urban interface zone, and at greater risk for certain fires. I don’t mind that trade off.

A message to examine your community's brittleness:
"And while 2.1 million #NorthCarolina homes are in the #WildlandUrbanInterface, North Carolinians have relatively little experience with #wildfires, he noted.
“The combination of #WUI and a ‘fire naive’ population could potentially cause major loss of human life in the eastern U.S., similar to what we’ve seen now in #Hawaii and previously in California,” Scheller said."

CW: Long thread/7
These heroic measures continue today, and they've set up a vicious cycle: fire suppression creates the illusion that it's safe to live at the #WildlandUrbanInterface. Taken in by this illusion, more people move to the fire zone - and their presence creates political pressure for even *more* heroic measures.
The thing is, fire suppression doesn't mean no fires - it means *#wildfires*.

I get real excited when people talk about the wild land-urban interface I can't help it I'm a WUI Girl 🏘️🎄🐻
