It was over air on the Broadcastify link. There were told to report to DIV M. Along with wet engines under CALFire control. Strange to me too.

After the Tubbs Fire, Sonoma County REDCOM developed a āall hands on deckā tone out. All pagers for departments using REEDCOM as primary went off, followed by where to report to. Maybe Napa has similar?

Today was an active day on the #PickettFire. As with the previous several days, the fire was somewhat subdued in the morning hours under heavy smoke, but woke up and made major runs in the late afternoon and evening. We have 10:30pm maps and analysis on The Lookout. Active Evening on the Pickett Fire - 8/23/2025 - The Lookout

False. REDCOM made no request for an āall callā in the county. Sonoma County has three type 3 strike teams with various overhead personnel for this fire. āAll callā is designed for in county major incident.

Despite a slight fear of jinxing thingsā¦
Is it possible weāre looking at one of those rare instances where a Team gets ordered & Fire goes out and/or lays down significantly?! Seems like the hard work from air & ground plus the Wx has really pulled the air-brakes at least for now?

Spot fire outside the line in Branch 25. 5-10 acres MROS in grassy oak woodland.
Helco requesting AA, 2 Tankers, and all copters off 7M Helibase to that area.

Spot fire was picked up in an hour or so at about 15 acres.
This and the two fires in Lake County a few days ago are pretty telling of the potential this Fire Weather Watch will bring to the area.
Bear in mind all three of these happened under normal weather conditions without anything special to influence them and all of them burned very quick and very hot.
