I still see 15 "Any Type’ Strike Team pending for the Dixie. I think many depts are already strapped due to staffing, equipment, vacancies, etc. I know a few depts that had to UTF the requests in their areas.

Fire at Butterfly Valley Rd/Keddie started about 5pm, and is really taking off. Pre CHP CAD, Highway 70 is closed from Greenville Wye to Quincy. Highway 89 closed from Indian Valley south - if evacuating Indian Valley, head up Hwy 89 to Almanor.
