Seems like a small amount of critical resources needed for a fire this size. Any talk of a CALFIRE team for if/when it makes it to the SRA / Yreka ? What team is up?

CA-KNF-MCKINNEY? - #168 by logchief1https://forums.wildfireintel.org/t/ca-knf-mckinney/22540/168?u=fire955
Transition to unified command with CA Team 10 (Mack) and CALFIRE will occur at 0700 today. Type 1 CA Team 2 (Johnny) is assigned and will in-brief today @ 1200
I’m not making a blanket statement. No discussion. I am explicitly making a watchout for this incident for this 205. Those command nets should NOT have RX tones.
There are many command nets that have both RX and Tx tone protected…especially if there are other incidents close by
This is fixed forest infrastructure, not portable NIFC gear where they are trying to isolate nearby incidents. Why is a watchout up for discussion, especially on IA thread? Full stop. Stop muddying the water people.
You have a very important safety watchout there. If you are on this fire and not hearing command, try removing the rx tone if you have it programmed in there. Depending on your radio you may be able to disable tone protection on the rx side without reprogramming. The old bricks can be done by turning the squelch knob off of the detent, if I remember correctly. I think the KNG may have an “omon” button that does something similar, depending on how they are programmed.
My guess is a cut and paste issue on the 205.
KNF BLK regularly doesn’t have an Rx tone. I just spoke with the COML, the Rx tone was an error on the 205 however all radios cloned didnt recieve that error. Agree it can be a safety issue if someone had hand programmed per the 205. As previously stated if that occurs unlock channel guard or turn monitor mode on.

#McKinneyFire #china2fire Update - 7/31/22 AM
Activity on both fires moderated into the evening as a smoke inversion settled over the fire. The fire became active again at about midnight. Crews were actively engaged in structure protection overnight.
Through EMAC, 3 structural task forces are enroute to the McKinney incident from the state of Oregon.
I was on both the Beaver and Gap in '14. Incredible fire behavior.
And then Gap kind of just laid down and they pulled off a massive firing show over about a week, right?
norcalscan, quick question. What is the better box to listen to, Siskiyou County Sheriff and Fire West or Northern Siskiyou County Fire/EMS on Broadcastify? Thanks
The Siskiyou County Sheriff and Fire West I believe is driven by @fishcop and is customized with McKinney freqs now. @CAFireScanner is also relying on the feeds for intel so he’ll know which is best too.
All Siskiyou feeds here.
I’m surprised that region 2 OES Type 1s are still sitting in quarters with out of state type 1s coming
Sonoma County (Region II) OES Type I’s left overnight.
