Passed three BLM hand crews and one TUU dozer inbound before moon. Several private hire dozers / excavators ordered this morning. Salt Creek and Cinnamon FCR’s need more work after the floods of '22 - '23 to be of good use. The two-track from Case to Oak Grove on Mineral King Rd. needs help, too.

Is it really just a Hand Crew and Dozer show?

Seems that way. Listening to the community briefing that was live streamed one engine has been assigned this far. They did mention TUU and Tulare county FD will have units assigned should it get into their areas.

I was on the Case Mt. fire in '87. I am very familiar with the topography. It’s my backyard. It will be a hand show until the fire comes out to them. The terrain is wicked bad. Much the same happened in '87. It was inaccessible at first and a walk in show.
