Dixie Fire has surrounded Chester. There are reports of a spot fire within the Collins lumber mill which the heat maps also indicate.
There are predictions for wind direction changes. Both forks of the fire appear to have turned to the south. It now looks the one that took out Greenville and then was threatening Westwood is now aiming for Susanville but still a ways off. The other fork has Chester still surrounded and looks to have turned to burn across the end of Lake Almanor and threaten Westwood for that direction.
The front of the Dixie/Fly fire near Quincy appears to have quieted down - for now.
I really don't see BNSF getting the Inside Gateway back in service anytime soon.
