We look at the Bear Fire's current behavior, check weather forecasts, and talk about how past fires in the Loyalton area have affected the fuels available for this fire. We also talk about the difficulty in growing plantation trees to maturity in fireprone landscapes, and about the ins and outs of 'mastication' a method of industrial mowing used to thin brush and trees in forests.

We check intel for the Copperfield Fire, north of Klamath Falls, and the Coffee Pot Fire, east of Visalia, California.
