Are all the requests for strike teams filled?
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.
OES 6848 just reassigned to Dixie from bootleg fire.
Maybe they worried about fast movement in the Rush Creek area to the east?
This link will provide the daily updated maps and IAPs
New fire/possibly a long range spot near the town of Keddie. Going big on the cameras.
Confirmed new fire #flyfire.
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.
