Air Attack 50 off Redding enroute to the “Milepost Two One” fire. CHP has this at Hwy96 MP21, just below Weitchpec.
Deerhorn Camera is right on top of this, has the top smoke coming out of the canyon.
1230: MNF copter 5GH off Orland…
1240: GOES 17 IR has the heat
1315: Ukiah T90, 91 enroute, Type1 rotor 5HT off Chico.
Also I likely won’t have further posts on this IA period - just making the post to due to the combo of GOES signature, smoke report, and local aircraft dispatched.
This would be on the Hoopa Reservation
CA-HIA Milepost 21???
Both tankers out of Ukiah AAB on scene. Did not get their numbers.
Looking at Deer Horn Cam #2 the smoke seems
To be getting heavier and increasing. This is a tough area to get info regarding a fire. Hopefully caught soon, rough place to fight fire.
Per CHP CAD, Highway 96 is closed both directions.

S-2’s returned to Ukiah…T-131 and T-137 committed
Looks like same location as Mill Creek fire a couple years ago that was a dirty burn.
Hearing that CAIIMT 11 has been mobilized for this fire. Type 2 team.
Per North Ops
200 acres 0% contained. No message about a team on the website news.
Heard from someone on that team they were activated. But you’re correct…doesn’t reflect on the NOPS page.
North Ops News and Notes page is often a lagging indicator. Not updated in real time.
Yeah, was surprised they even had a 1939hrs update…lol
You are being nice identifying NOPS as a lagging indicator. It is obvious to the people who have been paying attention that if it wasn’t for this website, we would not have the current news needed to operate in this dynamic environment.
Thank you to all the posters who keep this website valuable to all the firefighters swinging a tool.
Sounds like NOPS changed their mind and Team 11 is now going to pre-position in Redding.
