Parkfield cam showing pretty good activity still
That rascal sure sprang back to life and then some. Very noticeable again on the GOES..
VLAT 911 is enroute. Another tanker order is still pending…
Visible column from Paso Robles.
Betting the view from the prison & Avenal proper has more than a few folks on edge..
AA had 4 tankers working the fire however, all were diverted to new starts. VLAT is assigned, not yet launched. Waiting for refills on the 4 tankers.
T137 and T911 are now enroute @ 13:20
All four tankers returned @ 14:00. All Dropped and on loan and hold.
AA brought 4 tankers to make another pass or two before cutoff. I believe they had both 911 and 912 drop.
There were several slop overs in the afternoon.
Pretreating green side branch 25 & 15:,supporting multi day firing operation
I am sure they were making good to hold to lines they created over the last operational period. Been a lot of fire in the Western FKU and BEU coast range.
AA up over the fire and been over it since 0800…requests C7 lead plane and 6 Tankers. Use the tankers line to hold the firing.
Discussion of firing operation through section 5 & 6 and section 32.
I believe that’s the southern flank.
22,490 acres as of Friday eve.
