Our department just sent our reserve ambulance to Lake County as part of an immediate need request for ambulances to assist with evacuations of Lakeport and surrounding areas.
Some dramatic footage of Hwy 20
Reports of reassigning units to Div “QQ” as they have lost HWY 175
Request for three type 3 strike teams and “as many dozers as you can send me” to 175.
Where on 175?
OES 4805A from the XSA has been demobed from the Cranston and has been reassigned to the Mendocino…10 + hr overnight drive, should be there by briefing
“as many dozers as you can send me” is my favorite quote on this whole site.
“How many did you want, Chief?”
“All of them.”
30,500 acres 5% between the two fires
