A wildfire start earlier this evening is suspected as being lightning caused - named the Gregoire Creek Fire. If you zoom in on the map, it is in the "high fire danger" zone just outside our "moderate fire danger " zone.
I made a quick trip to town and looked back to see what may have been one of the strikes in that area,. On the way back up, I saw a low flying helicopter with snorkle over the ranch at McCuddy Creek. My guess is he was looking for water in a reservoir which is now empty.
One initial attack crew and one helicopter got the fire under control fairly quickly.
The BCFW flagging was at the intersection of the old 201/Baldy FSR.
It was interesting to see known squatters loading up large containers of water at the actual creek.
