Not hearing anything on scanner feeds.

I believe this is the Forbestown Fire, Initial report was 5 acres with MROS. The left flank is most active, the fire has difficult access requiring a hike in.

Large air tanker being diverted off the Red Bank Fire to this fire. The location is Forbestown Rd and Hurleton Swedes Flat Rd. Burning in the Wall Fire scar.

From BTU; Accurate mapping from the air puts the size at 58 acres. Forward progress has been stopped. The fire is 50% contained and crews on the ground are continuing to cut control line and perform heavy mopup. Firefighters will remain at scene for hours.
