Whitney Portal Road is closed at hogback.
AA and tankers are on scene. Going to attempt to keep it in the flats, and keep it from going up the drainage, if they hold it there with retardant, they have a chance of catching it.

I believe a lead plane was ordered as well.
There was talk between AA and the tankers, but not sure if one was or not.
