At sunset a code 2 immediate need strike team responded to help hold sweetwater creek. However, after sunset a slop over is confirmed into sweetwater creek. Branch 3, I believe.

Tanker 72 was transiting through the air space and was notifying AA of their assignment to Columbia and AA requisitioned them to drop on the fire.

Air show on, I guess.
