After watching ABC7 feed, it appears that the fire is well south of Pine Canyon. That would put it closer to the Powerhouse Fire for sure, but that was more in San Fran canyon, just east of Hughes. Looks like the fire is heading towards Burnt Peak (no pun intended). I am thinking the start is closer to here: https://goo.gl/maps/XunyYTZnF4wtSqYA6 instead of at Pine Canyon, which is well north. This gives them more time for structure defense planning since the closest homes are well north.

Directly to a Type 1 IMT do to complexity?
There are no Type 2’s in the fleet, he meant type 3 air tankers.

Was there an order for a team? Missed that one
Thanks Chaparral, I’ve noticed a lot of people ordering type 2 air tankers this year 
Either way, I hope he got what he wanted as that column is owning some property

There needs to be a retyping of air tankers, and terminology, but that is a discussion for another time and place.

AA has 4 S2s on it right now plus 5 LATs and it looks more nationally inbound including VLAT from PHX so I think it worked itself out. The art of mobilization. Will it make it to the desert tonight? Or will it be tomorrow for wind driven runs to the desert?

BDF sent full S/T, if you’re looking at wildcad one of the engines isn’t listed in there…E-1R. Either way, full S/T immediate need enroute.
