New fire brim rd units enroute dark column visible from mt. Konocti
E2574 and 2 Valley View crews from TGU rolling. MNF sounds like 2 dozers, engines and I think a water tender.
Also: Sutter Buttes cam can see the east side of that slope.

Column just got real dark and is growing.
2-3 acres, moderate to rapid spread, wind drive, potential for a couple hundred acres. Head of the fire will burn into the old burn scar.
2-3 acres of brush with a moderate to rapid rate of spread. Potential for a few hundred acres per Copter 104. He also stated it may hit an old burn scar. I believe it should be near the Pawnee Fire Scar near Indian Valley Reservoir.
AA over scene, concur with report, ordering 4th type 3 air tanker and 1 type 1 air tanker.
Between the Pawnee and the Ranch, there should be very little in that area that isn’t burn scar.
any update
Haven’t heard acreage but they were cancelling some units so must have caught it and tankers have cleared
Forward Progress has been stopped
Strong work !!
