OES 1840A (E341, E343, E395, E378, E416, STEN ARC BC105, STEN-T GLN) reassigned from the Bootleg Fire
San Mateo County just punched out an OES Strike Team. OES 402, OES 403, OES 405, OES 376 and a 5th to be named from another county.
I would estimate that the OES is going ahead to Lake Almanor Housing tracks, Quincy, Spanish Ranch out ahead of this incident. Or, the smaller type 2’s maybe on the line. They won’t know until they get to the ICP.
Kurt: sounds like there is still plenty of fuels inside the Chips burn too to carry the head?
Winds at Jarbo gap jumped at sunup to 12mph thru 0900 and
Currently reporting data update @ 1100, 1200, 1300 = 10mph sustained, 19-20 mph gusts out of SW. (West of the incident)
Second Type 1 strike team headed out of San Mateo County to the Dixie. This time it’s an LG. 4, 7, 17, 32 and 40.
Thanks for all your posts Fyrmikey! Your info is always spot on and very informative! Mahalo
Evening community briefing had OPS map with 4 Branches. 1, 5, 10, and 20 - appears confidence is not high on holding at current primary objectives
This morning’s 209 shows 85,479 acres with predicted final acreage at 150,000. I’m assuming that the current acreage is based on last night’s IR that doesn’t give acreage.
The dozer line from yellow creek to butt lake did not hold and fire “actively running in the meadow” per radio traffic.
Shit.
If by “the meadow” they mean Humbug Valley, I just have no words.
