So, the smoke is rising from Spring hill where the fire is and black butte to the left and spring hill and then to the right is part of the little city of Mt. Shasta. Spring Hill is where the fire was last night on 12 acres of land. This likely was taken from a CDF Spotter plane or a drone. More likely a spotter plane because of the altitude this was taken at. CDF just means California Department of Forestry or CALFIRE which is the state of California fire fighters and fire engines and planes that put out fires.
