As you probably know, there is a lot of factors when determining the need for tankers. Airspace congestion, actual need on the ground, and visibility to name a few. There are 5 rotor wing over the incident right now along with Air Attack of course, that’s a lot for a 300 acre fire.

Considering the remoteness, the history of fire in that area, the potential, and the issues from yesterday, I’m very surprised a large resource order wasn’t placed last night as opposed to this morning. I hope they catch this today or we might still be talking about it in a month! Good luck to all!

I have a very strong feeling, that by around 2 o’clock this afternoon, we’ll see a big order and probably a team assigned. The weather forecast for Saturday onward is very unfavorable and they want to plan accordingly.

Yes, Type 2 team ordered.
