Thanks, DustyD. I thought the Ferguson spots might be errors but was curious enough to ask anyways. I find the MODIS stuff interesting, but don’t have enough experience with it to have a good sense of what’s possibly accurate and what’s most likely in error. I do like the fact that it can sometimes provide info ahead of the daily fire perimeter maps, and show where the hot spots are.

Welp, the forest says "We gonna burn!" and they meant it. Damn. Gotta be the worst fire year on record for Cali? Hiked high today in clear air above the smoked filled Owen's, but two days ago, same hike, a lot of smoke. I just don't see this ending until it rains/snows. Gaaaaah.

Another fire burning NE of Balloon Dome in Mammoth Pool country, looks bad too.

That’s the Lions Fire – lightning strike June 11th. It wasn’t doing too much for a while but appears to have picked up over the last few days.

All day, dark clouds have obscured the Santa Anas from view (think Mordor). But tonight, they are visible and the fire has moved north and back up the eastern side of the Mt. Range and is cresting the ridge. These were taken from the balcony just now (in Laguna Canyon area).

The pictures show an area of the Mts. that is Modjeska Peak (Santiago Peak is the red dot on the right side of the picture), as viewed from the west

They are calling the "combined" River and Ranch
fires in Mendocino the largest in CA history. However, I
have yet to find a map that shows the fires have actually
joined. The maps accompanying the articles still show
them as separate. Anybody have an explanation as to
why they are calling it one fire when it isn't?

Well, isn’t it obvious Jody?

The second largest and the largest fires in California
history are in 2 consecutive years? Really?

This so-called Mendocino Complex Fire is actually not 1,
not 2, but 37 separate fires that have been lassoed together
in the fake, unfair, lying MSM to create the impression that
this is part of what they call an “extreme weather event”
which is, according to those fat cat globalist UN lackey
“scientists,” supposed to be more common under
climate change hysteria.

This is clearly part of a conspiracy between deep state
forest service employees, AGW fanatics, Antifa, BLM and
Hillary Clinton to foist their fraudulent global warming hoax
on a gullible public.

Several fire fighters have already “accidentally” died fighting
these fires. They would have exposed the truth—how many
more must die for Hillary’s lies?

Good catch Jody, I’m surprised Q anon isn’t all over this to
make sure all true patriots can be confident that “it is a known
fact.”

The fires are being used as a cover to burn the fetal body parts from Hillary's pizzeria . If you look carefully you will notice the parts being dropped from the tankers mixed in with pepperoni and retardent....

so here's a question. how do they know the babies were retarded and if they weren't isn't it irresponsible to use them as fire retardant. for all we know they were perfectly healthy babies and they're just adding fuel to the fire.
