Box IC (cal Fire BC3512) just requested 5 closest Type 1 engines for structure defense

Iā€™m not exactly where the Forest boundary is in this location, but I believe BDF Div 3 stated its all on the forest with threat to SRA

The SRA map shows that where the fire is currently is not SRA, but will be in SRA real quick.
Helicopter 534, 554, 305, 2 helitankers from SBD

A big aircraft order was placed, quite a few fixed wing enbound

30 acres, moderate to rapid rate of spread, Calfire stating all in the forest.

Losing aircraft to a divert for a new fire in MVU.

Air Attack canceling Tanker 79 coming from Hollister, and releasing or putting on hold the rest.

New fire off the 15, diverting units off the Box to the new incident, near the railroad tracks
