Cal fire fire hawk 613 out of Vina Helitack headed to so cal
There’s quite a few rotors and fixed wing headed down from north ops
BDF E316, E314, E336, E331, E330, DIV 3 move up and cover ANF
Hollister and TGU sent their hawks south to Porterville.
Alma is heading south as well.
Alma headed to Hemet.
T914 avionics got turned on at Victorville.
MCC punched out five S2’s heading south
Lots of type 1 rotor including calfire about to head over the grapevine after ferrying down the valley.
I see 83,79,74, 95 on flight radar over Dinuba and 613 just climbing the grapevine.
T914 just landed at SBD to load.
9142C and 912(?)C en route to South Ops.
9171C Mixed bag going south
Mix between CZU & SCU?
Two Charlie’s mixed. Yes. Nearly all firefighters have been laid off so there are dozens if not over a hundred unstaffed engines.
Major bummer.
I saw (on FR24 anyways) one of PJ’s Chinhooks working around Red Bluff - they’re night capable, so wonder if they’ll head south.
Not really a “move up/cover” question, as we usually see on this thread. That said, has anyone seen a consolidated list of Strike Teams and other resources coming into CA on the interstate agreement? I saw a list from Colorado on a different web site, and have seen posts from some depts in OR and WA, but no master list of what States, and what resources, have been sent?
Texas is sending 6 strike teams with the TIFMAS program in response to an EMAC request. The first should be arriving this afternoon to the LA area.
I personally saw a PNW
type 3 s/t,
WT s/t,
WT/type 3 task force headed down the 5 today in Colusa county.
Much of the out-of-state equipment has been sent to Beaumont to a staging area set up by Cal fire.
They are staged at Beaumont rested fed and sent out on the line as needed
This mobilization center is an interagency center serving as a hub for Federal and State ordered resources.
