Curious…think this is CalFire DPA. Does BLM even have any resources in the area?

The SRA map shows a very large chunk of BLM ground in that area. Might still be state DPA. FIRIS made the perimeter under a CND number.
BLM has a station in Taft somewhere or did in the past.

All BLM DPA until Kern County Line then State DPA protected by KRN. CND has a fire station in Taft.

Probably because there is no staff to run the retardant plant including aircraft time recorder and/or air tanker base manager.
