Hopefully visibility doesn’t hamper them. The cameras look pretty smoked out. If it’s able to sit and build under the smoke it could align with the drainage and make a run with forecast weather.

The nightly down canyon winds look to be trying to switch directions

I’ve camped a lot at Barry’s Crossing. The winds always blow up canyon in the morning and down canyon in the afternoon. This pattern will keep things challenging.

T88 and (T87?) heading to the fire. Sounds like they will just be on stand by due to the smoke.

How much room do the scooper need to scope? There are several dams and reservoirs in that area. Sly park, Bear River, Silver lake etc. Bear river and Salt springs have long runs. Lower country would be Hogan and Pardee .

Looks Like T15 made it just north of Fair Play and now is back at MCC. Guessing low visibility over fire.

With the current conditions Hogan and pardee would be the best bet but their heading back to chico now. Going to be a helicopter show.

Copy, I drove over the Cosumnees River on Latrobe road yesterday and it’s damn near dried up. So I’m thinking the Middle Fork is close to the same or down to a trickle and that’s near the fire for bucket work.

Probably salt springs or bear river would be their best bet.

FWIW, the scoopers have been off the fire for a while now and are headed East to UT. Presumably to UT-Parleys Canyon near SLC.

With the current conditions and lack of resources and size I would think team talk would be imminent.

All team requests must go through NMAC in Boise, due to the simple fact there are hardly any teams left to deploy. It is all coming down to prioritizing incidents and resource requests.
