Dispatch is coming through better on this feed.

Flight Radar shows the tankers reloading out of Meford

Per Tree IC.

Left flank , turning the corner in the shoulder, ridge top.

Right flank, similar progress, 65% to ridgeline

HWY 96 to be shut down from HWY 263 to Scott river road

Have we heard anything on acreage recently? Last I heard was somewhere around 30 acres,but haven’t heard an update.

~20 minutes ago IC said it was 45 acres and holding at the ridge.

Sounds like Fortuna and Grass Valley getting their S-2’s back, 134 returning to MCC but he’s not sure on his release status or not.

Thank you very much for this post of Lat-Lon. It really helps those of us who are not familiar with all the little place-names.

A lot more S2’s in play now on this. T88, 91, 93, 94, 95, 96. Not sure if something blew the line or what. North valley is emptied out of both fixed and rotorwing. SHU has a new start might get a divert out of 91.

The Sisikiyou County Sheriff and Fire - West feed is now holding on KNF-Black, the command frequency for these fires. A little scratchy, but readable.

I think that feed just went offline in the last minute because I was listening to it and it’s now gone completely quiet.

It should be back up now.

Pretty sure I just heard AA order 2 tankers for a 3-4 acre slop, thought they would catch it, otherwise looking good.
