Went to 2618 meters on Red Cloud... had a good view of the meadow along South Foxton... could see up and down (N to S) and all across East... and I didn't see any plumes of smoke or flames... I don't know what the Reporting Person on this incident was seeing.

If they had actually seen something, then that would have meant that there was fire NORTH and EAST of the river... the 285 side of the river... I saw nothing.
