I am at the lake, staying at Sheridan Lake resort. I have a place on the south side directly south from the break in the big island. I can confirm all cabins undamaged from the farm in the south east corner to my place. I toured the shore slowly by boat after the water bombers finished at 6:13pm.

The fire on the south side is looking much better than it did yesterday. When we were evacuated there was a definite red glow and you could see flames.

After the bombers finished today, there were only two small, white smoke columns on the south side. I would guess they are back by the forest service rd, maybe 3km from the lake. Both to the west of my place (I'm basically at the midpoint of the south shore).

A helicopter could be heard shortly after the bombers finished. I'm assuming surveying the fire.

There are NO sprinklers on any of the cabins that I saw.

There have been crews on the ground as propane tanks have been pulled away from buildings, but that was the only evidence I saw.

If someone knows who to call to get them out there with sprinkler systems it would be greatly appreciated. The hot weather returns Saturday so tomorrow is the last chance.

I plan to tour the south side again tomorrow and will update.
