How ironic. As we watch the fire threaten Mariposa, in the background of the live video feed we can see fireworks!

I have not heard any further resource orders. Has anyone else? Spotting ahead, losing lots of homes on camera view, and DROS

There are some very good fire managers and firefighters in MMU and Im sure they are all involved right now. I am sure there are lots of resources on the road and orders in the pipeline for this thing. Lets keep these folks in our minds tonight. Gonna be a long hard fight.

Many times larger orders a replaced to the ECC by cell phone and then formalized over the air when you have time.
As a BC or DC running a fire like this, there are a lot of moving parts including things like:
Where are they coming from?
When do I want them to get here?
Just because I have a lot going on, does that mean I need more units here gumming up roads and increasing the difficulties of accountability?
Can I logistically support additional units?
Can I keep a reasonable or semi reasonable span of control based on what I’m ordering?
It’s generally poor practice to simply order more because things are scary at the time.

Hey everybody…This is a very rapidly evolving incident right now. Let’s please be polite to each other and also not be creating undue chaos. There will be plenty of orders being sent up the chain through multiple means. Just because those requests are not radio transmitted does not mean they are not out there.
Please post factually and calmly and we will be better informed for it
Thanks,
Keith

There are a few strike teams at the Basin Fire that are not doing much. Should be sending most of them to this fire. They could be there in a couple hours.

Remember a lot of time the IC or Ops will call the ECC/Expanded directly, due to a very large RO or to try to explain why they wanted 50 strike teams of Dozers.
