Engines are trying to make access to the head but its a long ways in on two track road. Also wanted dozers to make contact with the ranch owner to lead them in.

Aircraft have hit pumpkin time.

Per calfire 700 acres 50% contained at 7pm(most likely much higher acreage now).

#PlanadaFire [update] off Doug Road and Bonner Road, north of the community of Planada (Merced County) is now 3,000 acres and 30% contained. Forward spread stopped. https://t.co/bE5YeV3bNy
