Now at 3000 acres. Earlier the smoke was mingling with the monsoon clouds and I had wondered if there was a fire or if it was just a trick of the light. Then I saw this post.
I imagine the whole Pine Cove omission was an accidental oversight due to the haste and obvious need to expedite information. Winds and the direction of fire spread are capricious by nature and firefighters are all too aware of this, so I doubt that it was intentionally left out.
The plume is now obvious here to the west and the jets flying overhead to reload are frequent, so this fire unfortunately has the potential to do a great deal of damage. It's already spread from 1200 acres a couple of hours ago to 3000 acres, so the tinder dry brush and trees are highly vulnerable.
