I’m not sure about the pnw unless you have contractors ordered up and with that I only know of two that would be able to put engines and crews out right now as far as local and state agencies that all depends on staffing in the pnw.
There a many state to state mutual aid agreements in place that have been used recently that CA Gov Newsome can activate that would put local government resources from WA, OR, AZ, NV, and other western states and on the road to So Cal if needed

Does anyone know the number of handcrews either Golfs or SRO put in for
Once the IMT is in place these kinds of things will begin to get sorted out. As of this moment, it is still a very rapidly expanding and shifting initial attack. The very best information available is being posted but it is going to take some time to get all the resources sorted out, in many cases reformed into S/T configurations and develop the needs assessments
The very best thing at the moment is patience but it is also one of the hardest
BDU had an LNU charlie ST and a BTU charlie ST sitting at HQ “pre-positioned” this afternoon.
Agree! And I believe we saw that IROC was down earlier, so they probably don’t even know yet what resources they have. It will take time to get sorted, but the critical work on the ground and in the neighborhoods, will continue for now.
thank you for your work
XLE 1281A: MTB STEN, SFS STEN-T, PAS 34, MTB 55, DNY 621, DNY 63 and SFS 822.
Do we have a move up and cover thread?
Not for 2025 yet
RVC has 2 Alpha’s code 3 leaving now. To the Eaton Fire. 10 engines all SCH. A.
Very few resources to East, cresting onto old Ranch road. Scanner got very quiet too.
OES alpha s/t from San Diego will be enroute in about an hour and be there at 0700
When can they fly again?
Depends on the wind.
I don’t know why a chopper couldn’t attack this San remo fire line. But whatever crews are up there are doing the lord’s work. It hasn’t moved much in 2 hours. You can see them chase the spotting
Between the heavy winds, and heavy smoke, they will fly when reasonable. Remember, night air ops is still on the new side, and extremely complicated.
