4 tankers working the fire out of Chester now with CFR91 headed over from Ukiah and Tkr03 on the runway in Chico

EDIT: Now four MAFFS and T910 also coming up, assuming they’re headed for the Park Fire. They can’t work out of Chester, unfortunately - Coulson can (and have) with their RADS equipped C-130s, but not the older Air Force MAFFS. Redding for their reloads.

EDIT: Speaking of Coulson, T210 is warming up in Chico as well. T910 also headed this way.

T210 is reloading at CIC after its drop. Came out of MCC.

It’ll be interesting to see if they’ve brought a compressor to Redding or Chico otherwise the MAFFS will have to go to MCC

I’ll be glad when (if?) CalFire gets their -130s fitted out with RADS tanks, they can work from Chester as well.

EDIT: All four SEATS in Chester warming up.

Makes sense, they don’t usually mix in with LATs on a fire this size.

FYI…
Deputies and allied agencies are notifying anyone who remained in the Mill Creek and Mineral areas of Tehama County to evacuate now. A re broadcast of the evacuation order has been sent out on the Genasys system and Tehama Alert. Highway 36 is open for individuals who are leaving the area only.
