Was working between 41, up to 42, then 46 the better part of the day. It got ugly pretty quick. Moved everyone one back down to 41, or on L Line. This was at DP41 about 90 minutes later.
Shortly after that, the tankers arrived and made some drops as the now safety zone was improved.

I said it here a while ago, having worked in the Mill Creek drainage at least 4 times in my career, but Mill Creek drainage is a difficult fire environment area…steep, no access to motorized equipment, rocky, an alighted drainage, very long travel times, etc. Good luck!

0510 IR product overlayed on relief shading shows adjacent to the HWY 172 corridor, with a spot or burn show on 172. On Mineral Summit. Educated gues would be the latter.
Structure impacts in orange.

The fire keeps moving farther into the LNF , but no Fed team activated . Why not ?

Could it be because they are already in unified command with FS and have two teams and camps in place? That’s a real question not a statement btw.
