The Dixie Fire, Bootleg Fire, and Tamarack Fire all continue to burn in the West. The most active behavior right now appears to be over the Dixie Fire, which has grown to 103,000 acres. The Tamarack Fire has officially crossed the state line into Nevada, and continues to see tricky conditions with steep terrain and exceptionally dry fuels. Due to a recent spot fire, the Tamarack has now crossed Highway 395, and the overall fire is now over 50,000 acres.The Bootleg Fire combined with the Log Fire and stands at 400,000 acres. Although the Bootleg had previously seen reduced spread rates over the last few days, the smoke on the satellite imagery appears to be picking up this afternoon.
