#ElectraFire (Amador & Calaveras Co) - There are firing ops going on in Divisions J & K since 1pm & they are continuing into the evening + tomorrow. Bringing fire down to the river & trying to close the gap for it to spread northwards. So far this has been extremely successful.
#ElectraFire (Amador & Calaveras Co) - The second area of concern is Division U. Today they have also been & continue to conduct firing operations near the Division U & V break. No surprises in any of the operations today. Winds: down canyon at night, up canyon in the day.
