The Coffee Pot fire started on August 3rd due to a lightning strike. It's over 6000 acres now and this is the first report of any containment. Yesterday they reported 3% containment. The yellow star on the images is where I'm located. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark

Choppers and planes hitting it hard today. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark

I smell the smoke early mornings when there is a fire nearby. It smells a bit different today. Makes me think it's now in the brush areas and not so much the timbers. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark

5683 acres. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark

Looking east from Lake Kaweah earlier this evening. Up to 5000 acres now. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark

It is indeed morning. The firefighters at the camp across the road get an early start. It appears from last nights informational meeting that they have a solid plan to keep this one from getting out of hand. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark

Each plane picks up 1600 gallons at every pass and they're flying about 80mph when they are scooping. Each plane can drop 100,000 gallons per day onto a fire. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark

It's crazy how many people are in town this evening. It's a good thing for our little economy. #ThreeRiversCa #SequoiaNationalPark 💰

The last big fire here was in 2021. KNP Complex Fire burned 88,000 acres. Hoping they get a handle on this one.

Chill in the air this morning. What a relief. Fire camp is buzzing early before six over across the road. #CoffeePotFire #SequoiaNationalPark
