New start… Beverly drive in San Bernardino on Little Mountain
5 acres moving uphill in light fuels with rapid rate of spread. Immediate structure threat.
Just added several more Type 1s.
IC just asked for 5 type 3’s from CAL FIRE.
Looks like something other than vegetation is burning judging by the smoke.
Homes burning
I count 4 with more about to go.
2 Charlie ST just requested Immediate Need.
Very bad situation. Density in area is a real problem. Fire access can be difficult too. Good luck to the fire crews. Long night ahead I think.
Just requested 5 Immediate Need any type engines and the Coulson QRF.
Going to south ops for Ops Bulletin 1(?) for 25 Engines…
Interesting. Used to be one ST only.
At least 2 QRF ships requested.
My agency sends the 5 closest engines to a B-1 response/request and they leave the station as if it’s in their first due and drive directly to the incident and don’t take time to meet up in strike team formation or wait for the BC. “Urgent response”
Probably getting a ways off target here, but not many Op Areas can just put up 25 engines without a big hit. But next to San Berdoo is two OP Areas that can…RIV and LAC
QRF ships canceled
