cedros 961 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 That fire is still smoking. You can not see the base of the smoke where there are probably fires. As the OP said it is on the southside of Cerro El Alto so you could not see any flames when it was dark last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mostlylost 1,431 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Yes right now it is hard to see the smoke because of the clouds and gray sky behind the smoke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cedros 961 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hard to see but it is still smoking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mostlylost 1,431 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yes at 8pm I can see smoke drifting over the ridge. Still haven't seen any flames. Also earlier I saw some smoke in the saddle between El Alto and Garcia. It was raining for a short time on the other side. Might have had some effect Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might have had some effect Yes, I was using binoculars because I could not see much smoke but since the there is enough smoke to see it with the naked eye. Just hope it rains quite a bit before lightening comes. I haven't seen flames either. But where there is smoke there is ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mostlylost 1,431 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 6pm Tuesday. To me it now looks like the fire has reached the summit and is starting down the north side. If it continues we might see the night show like we saw on Garcia about 7 or 8 years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
