Upgraded to high dispatch. Additional strike team of type 3 engines requested by IC from Sonoma County Fire. Assigning structure protection to various engines.

Sonoma County Sheriff’s Helicopter requested for bucket work.

Air Attack just cancelled 4th air tanker. No report on conditions. Several MA water tenders from around the County are enroute.

Tanker 100 is on load and hold at Sonoma Airport.

This is at the intersection of Westside Rd and West Dry Creek Rd, with the structure threats heavy in a well-forested one-lane Rd. Area, with several high-value homes. The reference to Madrona Manor is a 1800’s Hotel resort and Michelin star restaurant, nestled right in between the oaks, just a few hundred feet in from the roadway. Haven’t heard any recent radio traffic with ROC, but guaranteed that’s why they’re hitting this one hard. Put up a decent column right for initial Dispatch.
