As of now. Bet they get reassigned.
Scanner Traffic fire at 950 acres.
Type 2 Team on order. CAIIMT 11 (Fogle) shows as the reserved team.
Per Kern County 1400 acres 0% containment.

Any word if ICP at (lovely) Camp 9 or Kern Valley High?
Wallace Elementary School
3240 Erskine Creek Rd
Lake Isabella CA
Thankfully it is not at the infamous Camp 9. One does not go to Camp 9 for an ICP, one is SENTENCED to Camp 9, and paroled after 14 days.
Worst place on earth for a fire camp. Made a great heavy helibase years ago on the Stormy. There aren’t many other options in the Kern Valley when school is in session.
Thanks FIREWATER and IMT_Geek you are SOOOO right. Even the jackrabbits and squirrels carry canteens and shade. Lovely place, that.
Looks like there is AA, Lead, one S2, two LATs, and two VLATs working the fire per Flightradar 24, looks like they are trying to hit it hard.
Add two more LATs (132 and MAFFS2) coming down from Fresno and MCC
and we got burnt out at Taylor Meadow
That was a bad day.
Is there a reason this has not been put into an IA?
There is also an IA Thread with the same name. Every fire will have 2 threads. One for questions and discussion, the second will be an IA for accurate fire updates. This fire has both.
Looks like there are 3 VLATs working the fire now! It looks like they are keeping it in check at the moment, hopefully they will turn the corner on this one!
