The Fire has spotted across Charlie Canyon Rd.
AA12, 2 super scoopers, 2 tankers, and 6 helicopters working the fire.
The Fire looks to making a good up canyon push into heavier fuel.

Per AA, going direct with retardant is not working. AA is going to start building indirect line a few ridges over on right flank and is bumping up the retardant to coverage level 6.
RRU - 9310C just dispatched
