Per NOPS,
100 acres timber, 0% contained. Fire is in a remote location with difficult access.
Anyone have any more info? XSN has a type 3 strike team enroute.
Not much information at all other than that it is state DPA but surrounded by National Forest, 20 miles Northeast of Covelo near Lightning Ridge with very limited access. North Bay IMT was assigned last night and will be in brief this morning.
An XME Charlie S/T is assigned this morning too.
Correct name from yesterday should be 1-1 fire. Also saw a different name of Henthorne with the same resources assigned. Large commitment of MEU resources to it yesterday morning with more engines from MEU assigned around 1800 last night.
Name was switched to Henthorne.
If it is by Henthorne then most of that area burned in the 2008 lightning series. It’s a private land holding surrounded by Wilderness.
This fire is located 15 miles N/E of Covelo but in Trinity Co. 230 acres w/ 0% containment, fire is in CAL FIRE jurisdiction but 50 acres are into Mendocino NF.
XSN2375C was sent here at 0400 hours this morning as well, staging at the Covelo CalFire Station. Haven’t heard any intel regarding work status.
