The main camp was in Squaw Valley, they tried to do Sequoia Lake. Too small an area, a spike camp was at Hume Lake, but only for 3 or 4 days then everything moved to Squaw Valley.

It made quite the run north last 24 hrs , just like every other fire at one time or another this year has done , hope it’s doesn’t push west to far that’s where it could get real dicey,

No room for base camp on HWY 180 in Squaw Valley. It’s a PG&E lay down yard know.

Nice job CALFIRE getting that western dozer line completed (reportedly) and looking forward to the IHC’s today being able to tie that in with hand line.

This is a bad link
Correct. The SA IMT is moving there. Fire is currently not in unified command, however calfire is doing what they can while coordinating with the SA IMT hold the fire from moving further west. Hearing it’s a good cooperative effort.

Good News for the firefighters on the KNP Complex. MKU (Mobile Kitchen Unit) has arrived. Effective today, Fire Camp is being moved to Woodlake Rodeo Grounds. This makes it easier to receive the supplies and resources that are on their way here. Effective Dinner this evening, all meals will be served at the Woodlake Base Camp.

Not so sure it’s a Cal Fire MKU since officially they aren’t in Unified Command … yet. May be a Fed kitchen unit. Either way folks are being fed. Woodlake rodeo grounds for base camp seems like a good logistical decision. During Case Mt Fire in '87 we used the Three Rivers roping Arena.
