800-1,000 acres holding west of 101 for now.
I was gonna guess over a 1000 seeing as how it just capped.
MAFFS just flew over Redwood Valley.
If it is “700 acres” it won’t be for long.
ICP location?
comment on IA inquiring about released resources from SCU complex, they maybe timed out. is there any talk to going to 21 day time out with the heavy drawdown???
Many resources have already hit their 21 from the start of the multiple lightning complexes. Some LG have returned and gone back out with new crews
Sounds like calfire team 5 is headed to mendo
The team is likely headed to Mendo as much for the Oak Fire as it is to develop and work on contingency plans for the Mendo Complex moving West out of the forest and into the SRA.
I would absolutely concur with that
And just clarifying for people who might be a little confused:
Oak Fire is burning in Mendocino (locals call it “Mendo”) County
August Complex is burning in Mendocino National Forest which covers a bunch of different counties and is burning in Glenn, Tehama, Lake, Mendo and Trinity Counties.
I usually don’t touch Team talk with a 10ft pole, but to clarify, CIIMT5 this morning has taken the TGU Elkhorn and the Hopkins fire from MNF-August and made them the SHF-Rock Complex. The Southern Blue team still has the rest of the MNF August minus “Hopkins”.
Also, Doe and Elkhorn connected last night, and Elkhorn and Hopkins connected. So it’s continuous black, 50 miles north and 40 miles west.
They haven’t added a single thing since starting it!

They also are not adding their daily reports (the one above I posted yesterday) to Box. They posted one to Instagram (whyyyyy) and the other was on Twitter.
Thanks Jake, I understand CalFire IMT4 that was on the Elkhorn incident has or is in process of returning to Silver Dollar fairgrounds in Chico .
