Probably right if was on News & Notes. Was nothing on South Ops N&N about a team just missing from the rotation. I would imagine they’ll be a team order soon if it’s 2500

I’m hearing CIIMT2 for Dolan.
I think Minton’s is the only team left
What is that screenshot of?
0045 VIIRS via Terra showing heat on Dolan Fire 8/19/20.
In addition it shows past fires, and wind flow and speed. Green is 10mph or less. Yellow is 20mph.
LPF and Inciweb saying 2500 acres early this morning. I personally think it’s much larger based on measurements of IR.

Remains at 2500 acres with zero percent containment. Smoke inversion prevented air resources today. Continued hot & dry weather pattern is expected. The fire is using slope driven runs in rugged terrain w/ dry fuels to spot & make erratic pushes into the wilderness.
Stay safe out there my friends. (REC 32)
