Seems like a lot of LNF land in the area as well.
And two new fires on the PNF.

It’s closing in on “witching time” for afternoon winds out there. Could get real sporty before long..
Tanker 41 enroute from Missoula unknown eta
Also one tanker from Casper Wyoming. Both Neptune Aviation planes
Look like 120 acres combined.
For the Loomis Fires..124 acres. The Lumbee is another 24 acres.
Loomis originally wanted half
of this order and doubled it to this
50 engines, 12 dozers, 20 crews
400 acres was latest acreage.
Wondering if this will activate a Calfire team
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.
Region 4 OES Type 3 is headed up and also LG Type 3 out of Yuba and Sutter Counties
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.
Night flyers still actively working the fire at 0130.
Looks like on dopplar radar some precipitation is falling over both fire areas. Real curious to see if rain is falling out there.
