1240pm LNF sent a full wildland response to an LMU incident, Hwy 139 at County Road A2. 38N, 9E S22 puts it here and Google Maps .
AA06, 2 seats and 3 S2’s, C202 and 2nd rotor.
Shaffer cam steered to it, but it’ll be a stretch to see anything yet.
CHP CAD stating Caltrans reporting 2 fires in area.
GOES17 IR has this heat as well.
Also I likely won’t have further posts on this IA period - just making the post to due to the combo of LNF resources, GOES signature and significant aircraft dispatched.

Any relatively close Charlie S/T’s may be hard to find with now 4 active fires in the north part of the state. Going to have some long ETA’s.

More than likely will be stealing from the Badger and others that are settled down a bit.

For some reason, none of the assigned aircraft are showing up on Flightradar24 while in the area of the fire. Anyone else noticing this?
AA releasing the no divert.
