Helico is starting up for the day with copters, concentrating on the SW corner of the fire near Grizzly Flat.
Waiting for smoke to clear so AirAttacks can start on the NE side. Not good enought yet.

Sounds like the heel of the fire is heating up. Branch 30 just asked Div T to send and engines he could to Div W. Some talk of pulling at leas some resources back to Omo Ranch and Slug Gultch Rds.
