Mapped at just under 5K, 4,967 acres. The fire is spotting 1/4 to 1/2 mile ahead. AA is going to try and get Tankers engaged again.

[SIXONENINE]

Tankers on hold again due to smoke. IC is trying to figure out how to protect the train trestle above the Feather River. Critical infrastructure. It was stated earlier that it was not threatened, but now it seems to be a big concern.

HelCo advising multiple spot fires into the Chip Creek drainage, Copters are working it but they don’t think they can hold it. Too smokey for Tankers in the drainage.

Spots are about 20 acres and pushing east.

One spot fire is about 20 acres. It’s said to be south of Morris Lake and not in the Chips Creek drainage.

Neither the Chips nor Storrie Fires held at the ridge where the dozer line is in Division R.
Hopefully the fact we’ve had 2 fires in this country in past 21 years will moderate the rates of spread a bit. A lot of the forest that survived during Storrie also survived the Chips.

BDU 9354L had been there for a day or two. I’m sure there are some others.
