Dang, that's a bummer, was really hoping to get up there soon.
Found this on Facebook on Aug 15, although it doesn't add much info:

"Wildfire Update: Two small fires caused by lightning on Aug 3, 2021 remain active. A fire in Penders Canyon is on a steep rocky slope and a ¼ acre in size. Yesterday a helicopter assisted an engine crew with bucket drops, and will continue today. The incoming marine layer is expected to assist efforts in containing the fire. The Sunrise Mine fire, under a 1/4 acre, is showing smoke and an engine crew was sent to assess the fire. Engine crewmembers will be responding to both the Penders Canyon and Sunrise Mine Fire today."

I wonder if this is the Penders Fire? Saw something smoky-ish from Circle Peak on Sunday:

Could be. It's the right place for it, and it's pretty high up the slope.

There's also a trip report on WTA saying that rangers were closing the Sloan Creek road (no. 49) because of a fire. But I can't find anything about a fire in that area and the fs hasn't posted any closures.

Seems like the entire earth is going to burn as was predicted many, many eons ago.
