FIRIS mapping at 40.6 acres
Air Attack 140 (440?) says potential for 100 acres. It sounded like he requested a second agency copter w/crew, but that is assuming one was punched out initially.
Yea it is 140, assigned to the fire currently A140 T85 T86 C601 C35S I believe the order is for 1 additional Cal Fire copter and 4 additional tankers ?
Just added requests for VLAT w/lead and HELCO.
approx 25 acres now; added requests for engines, overhead, crews
Temp mid 90s. RH 25% Winds NNE at 20.
Local evacuations requested by IC, no details on evac zones yet
NPA-E112 and NPA-E103 are mandatory according to genasys (old Zonehaven).
Here is mapping from about 11:15am from FIRIS.
It’s east of Highway 29, all inside 2020 Glass Fire.
2020 Glass Fire in pink. FIRIS in green.
As can be inferred from the switchbacks along Hwy 29, that area is really steep and rocky.
Tubbs had a similar issue on the other side of the highway in 2017.
Putting the fixed wing on Load and Hold
I have been on wildfires in the Old Lawley Toll Rd before. Steep, difficult to access and unusually gusty winds. The firefighters have a hard day ahead of them.
