Kern with 2 starts in 16’s (Bear Vallley) area.
Traffic scratchy on Kern 5.
AA410 has been over both with initial reports.
Trotter Fire
1st fire - 1/4 acre light/moderate spread in light fuels. 5 acre potential if stays in drainage.
Structure threat.
Sheep Fire
2nd fire - 1 1/2 acres moderate spread in brush.
Structure threat if crosses road. 5 acres if stays below road.
2nd fire is named the “Sheep.”
Sounds like Sheep knocked down at 3ac. Reinforcing wet line.
Two additional tankers requested for the Trotter.
Very scratchy, but sounds like Trotter making a run. I believe Medium TF ordered, likely for structure defense.
Anybody with better info, please chime in.
