They updated the Evacuation Warning and Fire Advisement boundaries. Now the Fire Advisement is extending to the Mariposa/Madera County Line in places. This means that Madera County needs to get their site going or there will be no information on evacuations south of the Mariposa county line.
Type 1 local govt ST from SLO headed that way.
Note: Winds on 0500 spot have changed to South Southwest. Diurnal influences well noted.

9100 acres per AA
Helco is having difficulty with spotting over the line he is supporting. (maybe working the west finger). Dozers and crews keep having to pull back and start building line again. By the time he seeing them he says they are 5 acre spots.
For reference, HELCO is N555AS
Highly probable. Another copter type1 lifting from Mariposa heliport will be joining them.
EDIT UPDATE: AA said his drop lines are a patch work. To existing drops or defensive structure protection??
AA did mention he’s also getting 2 additional type 1 choppers from the Washburn. that was about 10 ago.
They are going to need a Weather change of some type of Fuel change or Fuel modification to slow this down.
Helo N231AA lifted from Truckee Airport ~~ 5 minutes ago. Dispatch was scratchy but appears headed to the Oak (per Flightradar24)
FIRIS from (I think, someone correct me if not) 0530 this morning in blue. Intel 17 flew and produced the map in red at 1106am. Gives a rough idea of progression this morning.
The Central Sierra Fire Tactical Feed is updated
AA requesting additional 3 LATS to the incident. Spotting over the direct line construction, Div R and M.
Added a new division, didn’t catch the letter or location.
