Not much visible other than occasional smoke. Cameras looking from the other side will be no good with the sun setting.
Kern has two more working in the Glenville area and another in the twin oaks area
There’s two currently working in the glenville area one is the Jack’s incident and the other is the Mill incident
Thunder Fire is losing a tanker(or tankers) to a divert, I suspect for these new incidents.

This is the Mill Incident.
Blue Mt 1 has the fire Shirley peak is looking at, and Blue Mt2 has a separate fire

This is the Jack Incident.
Tanker 78, 105 on divert from the Thunder, Tankers 01, 137 from Fresno, with H522. All headed to the Glennville incidents, but not sure which fires.
78 and 105 are on the Jack incident. North of Hwy 155. that Blue Mt2 is looking at.
Mill has it’s own IA here
Aircraft found a 3rd fire on the way to these incidents. 35 acres, no name or location yet
Fox Field is out of Retardant and aircraft and switching to other bases for reload due to it.
Sounds like San Bernardino and Santa Maria for reload…
New first alarm off of the 155. Before it was dispatched T76 diverted from Mill incident and is first on scene. Now T78 is on scene behind T76. Responding BC has cleared them to pick a flank if safe to do so.
