XSD Has 4 St out and Cal Fire has 3 ST out of the OP Area, plus ST assigned to the Grove fire.
Some of which will most likely be reassigned north after release.

IC asked AA to look in the hwy 32 and Humboldt rd area. AA advised ASM reporting multiple spots, column is laying over in the area and can’t tell if they are across 32. Also sounds like they have established 36 structure group in anticipation of it reaching 36

For sure the fire is punching up into the “zone” of concern…

Is there a live feed from the news copter today? There was fantastic live video of some impressive fire behavior and even more impressive firefighting along Hwy 32 yesterday afternoon.
