“The fire is 15 to 20 acres with a Moderate to Dangerous rate of spread in grass and heavy brush with multiple spots out in front and structures threatened - per Air Attack” per WatchDuty Watch Duty - Wildfire Maps & Alerts
Negative boss, Tanker 71 is out of service. Tanker 70 assigned.
AA reporting 50-100 acres now. Sounds like a long drive in for ground units. CNF also requesting a second alarm and a total of 6 Tankers and 5 Copters.
Good scanner feed?
Fire is 75-100 acres, DROS, looking at evac orders for El Cariso Village per AA
I’m not sure I am hearing CNF Forest net on a VHF Radio.
Per radio traffic Air Attack is worried about how effective retardant will be given the heat of the fire and lack of ground resources at scene.
Current resources per CNF CAD
CREW 4, T70, E337^, T72, E328, PT24+, T73, E327^, E332^, E322, BC21^, H538, WT232^, PT22
Long ingress and the communities are surrounded by the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness. I presume they’ll get/have dozer clearance given values at risk (if they arrive in any significant time)?
Edit: On second thought, if it gets past the old dozer line to the east of Tenaja Truck Trail, perhaps not given quantity of granite outcroppings.
AA ordering 2 additional T1 AT’s and a VLAT
Also visible from the Rancho Carillo cameras, another good angle of the column. Looks to be plume dominated fire behavior based on previous fires in that area. Going to have to watch out for afternoon onshore seabreeze shift, and possible Elsinore effects as well. Definitely a few watch out situations there.
44 acres per Firis
IC ordering 2 DIVS…1st available
