Just some of the air traffic on Glass Fire. Looks like the flanks and heal are being worked.

NWS SF - 1:30pm
High confidence that offshore winds will kick up again overnight. It is these overnight conditions that will be the most critical for fire weather conditions. Given that the Glass Fire is already underway, the mixing of NE winds back down to the surface along with no overnight recoveries will make this a challenging night for firefighting operations.

Been monitoring CMD1 but silent for about an hour. No traffic on LNU west at all. Maybe they moved over to an NIFC?

Until all of the radio frequencies get squared away, I am using this online scanner: Northern California Major Incident. It has the Air Traffic as well as the Command frequency operational. What I don’t hear, is much for the West Branch. Keep in mind that since this is now being run as a single incident, the air traffic will all be through the same AA.

So far, command should definitely still be active on CMD 1 and LNU West. They are planning to move to CDF CMD 11 151.1675/103.5 eventually, so get that in the rotation. No timing, it could be mid-operational shift today since that’s in everyone’s radio load, or in the next op period or two…

Does anyone have a decent shot of an ops map, or heat signatures?
Have a lot of family out in front of this thing and evacuated, trying to put their minds at ease.

So I guess I missed the call. Running the whole thing on CMD-1 now. LNU West clear for new business. West has been assigned the double letter divisions. Will scan CMD-11 and wait.
