AA thinks about 30 acres of open line left. Dozer line is getting around and a firing op by a helitack crew is holding.

I think the point is that in much of the central Lake County/Clear Lake area, the flight times from Santa Rosa and Ukiah are very similar and quick. So 4 tankers can be there pretty quickly, and set up a fast rotation, putting a lot of retardant on a fire early in inital attack. As Clear Lake is in LNU, the reference is to LNU…a common situation there.

Once again, great work by all on a great stop. Lots of resources and larger aircraft orders early.
