Any idea where the helicopters are dipping? It looks like the nearest water is the river.
Looks like the South Fork Eel river.
Alder point is on the main fork eel river
My mistake Fire on alder point rd in barber I’ll, so dip on so.fork eel
Does anyone know which frequency they are using for command. I’m not hearing much traffic anymore. I heard two tankers be released back to Redding empty and heard a Heli-Tender heading for Eel River Camp, “probably for the night”. Pratt Mtn cameras are not watching the fire anymore. Yet, as of 21:00 the SO was still issuing evacuation orders and warnings.
Per Watch Duty as of 08:49 July 11, fire is 80 acres, forward progress stopped, and 10% containment.
Wrong Humboldt County. The article is from Nevada.
