Report of drone launch near Foresthill Bridge, two unoccupied vehicles found in vicinity, investigating further.
Area checked. Per witnesses, subject left prior to arrival.
It sounds like the air show is over for today.
It appears an IR flight is scheduled for the North incident (per NIFC dirs), and would speculate that they will give the Sliger an overflight in the process since they’re in the vicinity.
Per @CALFIREAEU ~21:30:
“Evacuations in El Dorado County from the #SligerFire have been lifted. Crews will continue strengthening containment lines through the night.”
Reporting 30% containment, 80 acres as of this morning about 07:30.
No IR product is showing up for the Sliger, but they may have flown it last night at the same time as the North – I couldn’t catch any radio traffic for the IR mission unfortunately.
Air Attack 230 just arrived on the incident. (08:30 Sep. 5)
TFR request: 38d57.58 120d55.79 7NM to 8000’
2 Rotorcraft (747 &??) assigned for today, order for Type 1 out of Chico could not be filled.
Strategy is to keep it on the finger, Div. Alpha has things tied in all the way to the river.
Air Attack ordering 2 Type 2 multi-engine tankers.
Asking for about 8 loads of retardant to pick up a portion of the flank that burned around, but sounds good overall.
