Fire is trying hard to build an icecap.

it is interesting why BTU has not activated a Team yet.
I’ll bet it’s in the works, CF has a team on hard cover.
Just for info, CF always (during peak season) brings up the next team on hard cover when the call week Team is committed. That team will stay on hard cover until their normal call week comes the following Monday.
What’s the IAP for the day? Any new units being assigned? And how’s the activity of the fire?
If the unit can support the fire on their own NOPS will want them to keep it and not activate a team. That being said, with the resources needed for this fire, I would say a team order is going to happen soon.
Looking at the DPA maps it looks like it has burned onto Plumas NF DPA. If it continues to move to the NE they may call in a Federal Team. DPA maps have very little reference points so it is hard for me to say for certain.

https://caltopo.com/p/7D32 GOES current heat and imagery showing smoke and relation to Dotta / Sugar Beckwourth Complex.
Smoke at Lake Almanor is looking pretty ominous. If this pushes with the West/NW winds up canyon could be there in a few days. Has favorable weather and with the return of instability, heat and monsoonal moisture this coming weekend/week could make it interesting (as if it needs any help).
Any resource orders?
Just heard that CALFIRE IMT1 is getting the activation call. Good luck all.
Confirmed CF team 1 launched…
Be careful. Garbo Gap/Feather River is some of the most unforgiving country…second only to the Klamath.
The Feather River trestle is even more vital since the northern route is still out.
Teams are activated automatically once 11 people here ask if a team is activated.
Air Tactics FM 165.9875
Air/Ground 159.345 tone 192.8 (CDF Tac 18)

Another A/G was ordered up 166.600, unsure on assignment yet (A/G Cmd, A/G tactical, or a new A/G if this goes to fed incident.)
Well played

Which trestle is this? There appears to be one over rock creek and one further north over the Feather River itself. Both of which show up on heat signature
