Heads up for those in the Tamarack area below the #RockFire, these slow-moving, very wet, storms look like they're headed your way over the next few hours. They're causing flash flooding SE of you -- if this amount of rain hits that very fresh burned area, it won't be pretty. #IdahoFire

I expect the #RockFire containment % to start creeping up in the next day or so. Entire fire is lined, 90% of it by dozer. And most of that backed by hoselays. Expect heli work, and occasional fixed wing drop but the air show is over unless something bad happens.

As I said in my IdahoFire.org #RockFire email, the firefighters (still) have the upper hand. Most of the current heat is from a burnout. There's dozer line around most of it, working on mop-up. I'd say it's pinned down, but this is Subapline fir, only takes one torch & puff of wind to lose it.

This video of the #RockFire is one of the best I've seen of any fire. Again, if anyone needs a place to evacuate, please let me know. I've got folks prepared to host and they all accept animals in their house.

The Rock Fire continues to burn alongside Tamarack Resort as fire crews reinforce control lines along the Bliss ski trail. A Flash Flood Warning is also in effect until tomorrow morning.

No. UKIP came close to taking the seat in 2015 - less than 1000 votes behind 1st place (but actually 3rd place).

Labour controlled the council 2010-2016, the Tories from 2016-2024. It's now Labour controlled again since 2024 and has a Labour MP.

The issues with Rockfire were between 2016-2020.

I suspect it will be on Load and Return out of Poky. Large Air Tankers up from Redding, CA over from MT, etc will Load and Return Boise. SEATs (single-engine air tankers) are working out of McCall and Ontario. #RockFire #Airshow #IdahoFire

This is a *very* rough estimate of where they are trying to stop the #RockFire in Tamarack Ski Area w/ a retardant line and scooper drops.

I'm somewhat optimistic with the current moderate fire intensity, but less so given how much this subalpine fir is throwing spot fires.

This fire is looking like it will be here a bit longer. Last report I saw it had blossomed from 1000 acres (noon) to 1871 acres (6:30pm).

I'll post some of the way-too-many iPhone photos I know I'll be taking in this thread. Look for location details in ALT text.

Thurrock Council invested millions into solar farms via a bond scheme sold by Rockfire Investment Finance between 2016 and 2020. Rockfire offered multiple investment opportunities in renewable energy bonds, promising high returns but has since entered liquidation.

This isn’t just about Thurrock’s catastrophic investments in solar farms via Rockfire Energy and their cover ups, but also about the staggering failure of NATIS (National Investigation Service for public money fraud) which has only secured 14 convictions. Overall sum recovered unclear
Thurrock: council leader has resigned.
Ex-finance director has been sanctioned.
Anti-fraud team’s contract has been axed.

The Serious Fraud Office is digging through solar farm debts.

New spotlight on Thurrock council
The last six weeks have seen contracts terminated, resignations, government auditors dispatched to Thurrock, and the Serious Fraud Office is taking action

I just noticed we have CL-415 Super Scoopers 🇨🇦 on the #RockFire now. They are the most effective aerial firefighting resource in the world.

Please, I beg you, if you're boating on Cascade Lake, stay the fuck away from anywhere they are operating. #IdahoFire
