CA-LMU-Loomis??

Seems like a lot of LNF land in the area as well.

And two new fires on the PNF.

Wondering if this will activate a Calfire team :thinking:or just be handled by same org that was running the 3-1 fire and keep using the fairgrounds right there ….

I was wondering the same thing. I believe Team 2 is up.

Is this expected to get a lot larger or very difficult full control? Is the unit not used to managing 400 acre fires? Are there circumstances where the need of team resources are necessary?

I’m not sure that’s why I’m asking. Can a unit handle an order of 50 engines, 12 dozers and 20 crews. I know units activating a team on a much smaller fire.

That’s why I was askinh about terrain and complexity of full control. I don’t know the area and just asking for knowledge.

Retardant 90% around Loomis but lots of embers still on the right shoulder and sounds like still lots of open line. Both lumbee fires are in good shape with dozer line around them hose almost around the Lumbee.
