ANF just dispatched a ST to this fire
There was some conversation about whether this was or was not in the mutual threat zone for an ANF response. The LAC BC was pretty sure it wasn’t. At some point an ANF engine arrived in the area and determined that it was and started the full response.
LAC BC is confirming the fire is in the IAZ and that they are going to put the ANF resources to work. H532 is off Fox for the fire. LFD Copter 4 should just about be at scene.
20 acres, 15 MPH wind out of the west, all in the flats still.
Cummings Mountain cam shows the fire.
Forward progress stopped @ 20 acres. 3 acres of mulch will continue to produce smoke for several hours.
