Current AQI near the Sierra Springs Fire station in Sly Park is 1275. Hazardous is above 300, a bad day for most of us is around 150. This is the highest reading I’ve seen so far.

I have been watching the air attack for the Caldor fire for well over a week now. Today is the first day that there have been no planes or helicopters working the fire. I have seen a spotter plane twice today (this morning and right now). Does anyone have any info on why there is no air attack? globe.adsbexchange.com is the site I am using.
No air ops today due to lack of visibility.

The smoke has cleared out. I am thinking the next 5 hours are going to absolutely kick our asses.

911 was able to make it through the smoke and make their drop. You can see it on the Somerset cam. AA sounds really happy with it. Damn, those guys are good. And now a second good drop by the second VLAT.

Sounds like smoke is really thick today… Is it due to fire laying down or is it getting a head of steam?
914 has arrived from Santa Maria
