From a neighbor with best view of fire - Update: chopper picked up and dropped several buckets of water but is now gone. Smoke and flames still visible; wind shifted to east.

Crews are shutting down for the night, one crew of 6 will remain on the fire. The plan is to not shut down the river tomorrow, and they don't think they will need air support.
If we hear anything else, we'll update it here. Otherwise, we'll pick up again tomorrow.
