I believe this is the Stewarts Fire, Dont know much about it but they are trying to keep it under 20 Acres
Sounds like they are having trouble filling ground requests. (like all fires).
Crews are prepping the Mt Jackson repeater for a repair crew to come in. Must have gotten damaged.
I think I heard three type one copters were headed to this fire

Judging by tactical traffic, and looking at the cams it’s starting to push to the East

There were brief talks about extending evacuations orders to Healdsburg. Fire is currently at Big Ridge Rd making a push east. Limited resources.

Diverting AA 140 to to assume Southern AA in Vacaville - Also diverted 2 tankers to a new start in Redwood Valley.

Early this morning smoke was to the south. After lunch it had twisted to the east. Assume the push now would be towards Healdsburg and Windsor. Evacs are now up to their city limits.
There is about a mile wide valley that is mostly vineyard in between the fire and Healdsburg, and Windsor it’s about 2 miles from the hill to town with Vineyards and a river

Healdsburg and Windsor sure have had their share of fires the past couple years.

1/2 to 1/4 mile spotting along mill creek.
Yeah, well tell that to Vacaville. Plenty of plowed fields and whatnot along Pleasants Valley Rd.

Just heard they want to extend Evacs into Healdsburg. this will be up to the City of Healdsburg but it sounds like they are working on a plan. Unknown if it is a Warning or an Order.

The evacuation was expanding to a warning for the entire Dry Creek Valley, from Healdsburg to Lake Sonoma. The prior zone was the roads bordering the Valley to the West. If the fire reaches the road, it’s necessary to prepare Dry Creek to catch slopovers in the vineyards.

How long do you guys think til the fire gets to these areas. Tough getting info. Might be able to make it to that area tomorrow to help
If you’re not ordered through the system, might not be a good idea to just show up “to help”.
