From Barham Peak in the North Bay, a small bright light can be seen far in the distance. The ALERTWildfire camera captured the Kincade fire’s beginnings at about 9:20 p.m. and monitored its growth over 40 minutes. Neal Driscoll, professor of geology and geoscience at UC San Diego, said fire officials have the ability to access the cameras and move them as needed remotely. The video helps firefighters and first responders make decisions as they battle flames and help residents evacuate. As of Thursday afternoon, the Kincade fire was at 10,000 acres and was expected to grow.
