Great Basin Team 6 (type 2) will in-brief Friday evening on the #EastFire near #Cascade #Idaho

The nightly infrared mission was unable to map the fire due to cloud cover. We'll likely get a GPS perimeter flight in the morning.

A metric 💩 ton of retardant was dropped on the #fire today... very aggressive air show. The initial attack costs are already over a million dollars... This area has the potential to be bad, so expect the aggressive response to continue. #Wildfire #IDfire #IDwx

Quite the airshow on #EastFire this evening. I'm not at my computer but by my quick count there are about 5 large air tankers on load and return orders out of Boise.

And seconds after I post that, they've updated the size estimate to 1690 Acres -- that's a lot closer to what I'd estimate based on what I'm seeing on sat images. #EastFire #Idaho #WildFire #IDwx

I am monitoring the #EastFire on East Mountain, East of Cascade #Idaho.

It's an initial attack fire that was reported last night. It's currently listed at 200 acres (though the sat images and VIIRS detections I'm looking at make me think that's a low estimate).

I'll be checking in on this throughout the day. I currently see no major threat from this fire but it's got potential. They'll hit it pretty hard and fast, fingers crossed.
