All: Please use this thread for any lightning fires associated with LMU. The unit has up to 7 and is numbered accordingly. If a specific fire warrants its own thread, the mods will create one. Until then, please reference which Fire within the complex you’re referring to when posting within this thread.

Thank you,

16:15 AA reported 4 fires visible. Largest is 5-6 acres with fire activity slowing down should be able to wrap it with one more round of tankers. The other fires are 1/2 acre or less with slow spread.

They’re really hitting it with tankers. T133 just arrived here this morning.
