Yep, several forests sent resources up to NOPS today on a NOPS Prepo. Lots of stuff moved up earlier today.
Very eerie looking as the sun goes down
Neighboring forests were housing quite a large number of out of state resources that were sent immediate need right off the bat.
Yes 10 taking this fire and 11 will be inbriefed Sunday am for prepo.
IC just had dispatch have all incoming resource to stage in Yreka and report to Oak Knoll @0700 for briefing
Team 10 (formerly NorCal Team 2) has LOTS of experience in the Klamath, Gap, Beaver, Pony, and many more. Fortunately they are up for the assignment, this is tough country to fight fire in from all fronts, fuel, weather, topography, and logistics.
New lightning fire being reported at 49721 Hwy 96
Not to mention one of their OSC2 is Chief 2 on the KNF.
2022 Klamath Complex, here we come?
With the amount of lightning KNF is taking tonight, unfortunately I think you’re right.
Sounds like tomorrow is shaping up to be a Smokejumper day!
Anyone know if Team 10 has a Box/FTP site where the IAP will be posted? If I can get a Comm plan, I’ll update the Siskiyou County Sheriff and Fire - West Broadcastify feed with the relevant frequencies tomorrow morning.
Does anyone know if FIRIS or another mapping platform is flying another mission tonight?
We might be starring at one of those fires that get on the top 20 list. I Wonder what the feds draw down numbers look like with all this activity in other states. Not to mention AK. And bad weather rollin in… No bueno
Almost every IHC in NOPS was sitting on base today minus the couple that are on the Oak. The last of the R5 crews came home from AK a few days ago. SOPS sent a few crews north today for prepo that have all moved over to this.
Well that’s good news. I would have thought a portion of them would be out of state.
Last 6 hours lightning energy density time lapse from CIRA Group Flash Count Density (satellite). Note this does not indicate ground strikes, just overall activity:
Quite a few shot crews on oak the few I seen valyermo, golden eagle, kings river vista grande, los padres, Little T I believe Palmaro and I think it was Blue Ridge out of AZ edit: Stanislaus hotshots as well though to my knowledge most north ops shot crews are available
