Sure thing. The red dots over by Jamesville are actually ash in the air. Some of the dots are from other heat sources than fire. But that site is the best for knowing where it actually is.

We off road a lot and I follow fires pretty closely.
Here is my favorite set of fire sites:

National Fire Situational Awareness Map-
For the latest maps from infrared detections and aircraft surveyed fire boundaries.
https://maps.nwcg.gov/sa/#/%3F/%3F/39.1238/-112.1769/6

Incident Information System:
Clearing house for all the briefings and official information.
https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/

The EPAs air quality map:

Fire Cameras
Links to realtime feeds from lots of fire cameras (too smokey now for them to be much use)

Thanks. Trying to keep up. Looks like 395 south of Susanville is closed headed towards Reno. Hopefully folks are keeping an eye on escape routes. Becoming more scarce.

Friend just drove through an hour ago. Town “proper” okay for now. Outskirts and south pretty well scorched. 395 southbound was open.
