#GarnetFire
Crazy heat signature and plume dynamics from the #GarnetFire today, pushing thick smoke and hazardous air quality toward Mammoth and Bishop. #CAwx #CAfire

This one could get more complicated. #GarnetFire
Some new fires popping up today--some ignited by lightning yesterday. #GarnetFire on Sierra Nevada west slope is putting up a striking pyrocumulus plume (transitioning toward pyrocumulonimbus--a "fire-generated thunderstorm" cloud) under continued hot & unstable conditions. #CAwx #CAfire

#GarnetFire making another big/high-intensity run today (could double in size by tomorrow) characterized by multiple big pulses of pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb, or "fire thunderstorm") activity as it "fills in the gaps" between recent fire footprints in/near Sierra NF. #CAwx #CAfire

Not a fun day to be in #Yosemite or #Mammoth. Hazardous air quality in the Sierra Nevada as the #GarnetFire produces a thick plume of smoke.

Pyrocb (fire generated thunderstorm) on the #GarnetFire on the GOES-West geocolor loop below. Expect rapid growth.

Another notable pyrocumulus/possible pyrocumulonimbus plume atop the #GarnetFire again this afternoon amid continued unstable airmass/hot conditions along the Southern Sierra western slope. Partial fire-related closure of Sierra National Forecast begins Thu. #CAwx #CAfire

🔥 Crews have placed protective measures around the McKinley Grove of Giant Sequoias. These living giants—some over 2,000 years old—are irreplaceable. Protecting them is a top priority.

#GarnetFire in Sierra Nevada is extremely active today--perhaps most active it has been so far, w/large & episodically tall (~30k ft) pyroCb plume. Now over 40k acres & burning in heavy forest, it'll likely burn until sustained rain/snow arrives (none on horizon). #CAfire #CAwx

Garnet Fire is now 9,148 acres.#GarnetFire https://m.ai6yr.org/@nifc_bot/115103206955802330

This is a good map from the Sierra National Forest — I appreciate the superimposition of all these fires on their recreation map. #GarnetFire #HSRDLightningComplex

Waldbrand in Kalifornien bedroht hunderte Riesenmammutbäume
Waldbrände gehören in Kalifornien leider zum traurigen Alltag. Die Riesenmammutbäume haben sich mittlerweile schon an die Flammen angepasst. Sie brauchen das Feuer gar zur Fortpflanzung. Ein aktueller...

🔴⚠️🔥Scary evolution of #GarnetFire that has reinforced on Sept. 7 ,growing from 36000 to 41000 acres in few hours and producing a large smoke plume moving northernwards with pyrocumulonimbus, as shown in the #Sentinel2 view of Sept.7. #climateemergency

Glad to see the efforts to keep the #GarnetFire out of the Teakettle Forest, one of the last old-growth forest areas in the southern Sierra and the site of a planned, collaborative 3800-acre prescribed burn that will include objectives to steward the area’s black oak orchards. @mhurteau.bsky.social

By the time the #Garnetfire is done burning off the last large block of green forest in the s Sierra, recent megafire burn scars will then stretch continuously from s of Bakersfield to n of Yosemite NP. Rapid, total transformation of the w-side forests in the Range of Light. What a massive loss. 🌎

I attended the #GarnetFire cooperators meeting today and had a chance to talk with the operations chief. He assured me he was going to do everything he could to keep the fire from advancing further into teakettle, but I don’t know if it will be enough. (1/3) @mhurteau.bsky.social

Smoke pours over Little Lakes Valley at sunset; view from Morgan Pass (Saturday night). The Garnet Fire is about 40 miles away but prevailing winds bring poor air quality to the High Sierra. #GarnetFire #CAfire #CAwx

#GarnetFire smoke creeping through the passes to the Eastern Sierras yesterday. AQI in Mammoth Lakes was in the 500s yesterday afternoon.

Photo taken in Bishop, Calif by me looking west. The sky actually looked like this.
