The Gallery Fire merged with the Basin Fire to become the Basin Complex long before they got to the location where the Willow Fire is now burning. Basin Complex BAER maps show the Willow Creek drainage burned at mostly moderate to low intensity in that incident. The Willow Fire, so far, has been almost entirely confined to the Willow Creek drainage, which is the next drainage south of Tassajara Creek (the location of the hot springs and Zen Center). The big run yesterday afternoon was actually to the south, away from Tassajara, up the slopes on the south side of Willow Creek. Most of the heat picked up by the satellites overnight is on the south side of the fire. This is good news because further expansion in that direction is limited by the recent Dolan Fire scar.
Anyone have the comm plan today?
Awesome thanks for explaining that sir.

Once they move off any IA freqs, aircraft should be on the following:
Air Tactics 166.6125
A/G 168.400
Rotor Victor 125.125 (also the TFR freq)
I wonder if they will bring in portable repeaters tone 13 is way on the coast I canāt pick it up here in Soledad
tone 13 is for the repeater input, you should be able to hear it no matter what you have it set to. make sure you have the correct receive PL, I can hear it in the salinas valley
edit, receive should be carrier. no PL
most command traffic is on LPF admin though
Any IAP out yet? I checked NIFC and nothing showing.
Itās the only spot on the Monterey that hasnāt burnt since 2008, build the box and let it do its thing. As much as Iām an old school guy, direct isnāt the way in the middle of the ventana
We spent $262 MILLION on the Soberanes Fire. Thatās enough to do over 500,000 acres of prescribed fire. Thereās gotta be a better way.
Not in that rugged terrain theirs also alot of places in the LPF arroyo seco area you canāt touch do to being protected.
Air Attack requests the following:
1 VLAT, 1 LAT, 2 S2ās
Another A/G freq ordered up yesterday, 167.950. Not sure if replacing the earlier or in addition to (it doesnāt seem that complex of an incident yet). I know teams have their particulars so maybe ordered with the team and set aside on the shelf for later.
Oes WT22 being dispatched from Vacaville Fire District.
Looks like a slight uptick in activity based on the cam view
