Good column through the haze visible from Stockton. Pack your extra socks.
Update: that may be YNP. I’ll recalibrate my back azimuth.

The heavy column from this morning was in DIV Y off slate mountain from the repeater site working south.
This was increased activity based on drying of fuels, temperature increase, time of day. However, all activity stayed within control lines that were prepped for burn since yesterday. There was a major dog fight from ground and air resources to keep it tamed however, the wind was favorable the whole time S/SW.
Once the fire had backed/ been nursed to the dozer line and worked down the 12N76 towards what’s showing as ELD60 near Soapweed Trail activity increased more towards M/Y break on the ELD60 towards the 12N60J spur, Engine crews Dozers and Copters picking up multiple spots.
Currently fire activity has moderated and the Burn is going well. Still a fight occurring but currently we have the upper hand.

A team provides a lot of things that a local unit or forest can’t provide. Some of the key things that usually necessate a team is lack of planning, logistical and financial support.

Re population underway for most of the area. I think it’s fair to say this was a great catch by Cal fire AEU and allied agencies!!!
