Making a big run on the southern side right now; winds are picking up on the valley floor, and we have new mandatory evacuations for the area of Wofford Heights around old state road. Old state is closed at hwy 155.

Sounds like a new spot was just reported and they asked for a immediate need task force response to Alta Sierra area if I’m not mistaken.

KRN TF5231 for structure protection. Only seemed like a matter of time since the normal winds shoot from there down to the lake in the afternoon.

reports of sheriff evacuating town of Wofford Heights. no readyKern alert went out.
Most people on ATT have been having service issues (on top of the already spotty service in the area) possibly why ready Kern isn’t getting to people.

Interesting 15 minute time lapse with the smoke blowing towards the column.

Watching the briefing from this morning, sounds like the south east corner and eastern side seem to be getting buttoned up pretty well, hoping to have it tied in to rancheria by this afternoon or tomorrow. the northern area near Alta sierra is still the hottest part. It sounds like they Have contingency dozer lines in place between Wofford Heights and Alta sierra.

AA up over the fire. Plan so far is to build retardant line next to dozer line north of hwy 155. Starting at heal and build out to west.
Have not heard the tankers arrive over the fire yet.
Copters will also be working with bucket support, locations not heard.
