AA ,Tankers and ship out of Columbia. Two more tankers enroute plus a type 1 helo. Still spotting on them. AA asking for type one Tanker. Looking at Bullion Cam fire started to get a little momentum.

I think no one wants to like it because no one likes the fact you have that kind of a view. For this post I say a “like” means we are thinking of you and your situation - stay safe.

How are the fuels in the Detwiller scar? Still thinned or mostly grown back?
Regrowth of the grass is thick, lots of dead and down Grey Pines and green brush re-sprouting at the bases. Was through there a month ago twice up to comm sites. I believe there is some unburned fuels involved outside the scar.

So basically don’t rely on the scar to slow it much……
Thank you both for the intel.
Can confirm. Some visible spotting on the flanks too.

There was some comms from AA that there was some draw down locally and engine crews are in short supply for IA.
UPDATE @ 14:58 Lead C5 on scene tanking the tankers and Firewatch 51 flying the Washburn and was notified of this fire… might show up soon.

For reference, is the large multi-story steel building in the left center of Mt Bullion1 camera the composting, recycling, landfill facility?
