Sounds like tankers 85 and 90 are going to be staffed out of McClellan. As the 2 tankers ordered from Texas wouldn’t make it to the fire before cutoff.

Your typical wind driven fire in the OVY. When the shadows hit and the wind dies down the rate of spread will slow tonite. Did a lot of brush release around the Dishes( Caltech Owens Valley Radio Observatory) when I ran crew out of OVY. Going to be chilly cutting line on that fire tonight.

Yep
And they typically are long skinny fires. I’ve fought that same fire in the same dirt at least 3 times in my career.

Yeah I’ve reported on them a few times too… Just like the grass fires in the central valley and foothills that are in the same places every year… Only difference is that they generally don’t start happening in February.

Thats a long run to Lone Pine. Have to go by/thru Independence and then some. I would say that would never happen, BUT after the last five Fire Season, well, what I thought was not possible happened.

It’s February! ! That pic looks like October! That cold dry air can really effect fuel moisture, just like October. (Just a 60° temperature difference).
Be careful out there

That’s what it usually looks like in February in the Owens Valley this is the normal fire season for that area, we have had many large fires in that area this time of year.

Yup. In my FB memories a couple of days ago was a fire up there in 2018 at this same time of year
