How often will they fly a fire for intel or mapping? Is there specific trigger or time frames?
I know they’re running a heavy tanker show, but I’m surprised there’s only the Chinook showing. The Keene ship was there earlier. That’s the only helos I’ve seen on FlightRadar.
408 is still there
You may not see the helos on FR because of the terrain.
There are 3 helicopters there and more enroute.
7CH is close to being on scene, 1CH, 408 and 964 are working hard right now
I got um, thanks
Grass Mtn cam is gonna get interesting real fast
Not sure on triggers or timeframes. They seem to pop up when you’re wondering the most about a fire though, seem to spread out & time missions well. Intel 24 just departed Chino heading towards this fire.
