I’ve fought fire right down the road from this fire some years back and used to cover Raymond and other stations in the MMU B land. If it’s established in that canyon, they are in big trouble. This one is going to likely go very big
Region 5 ST leaving at 1800. Not sure if it’s a Charlie or TF.
Looking like is going to go extended. Well established across the drainage
Here’s a good view from several miles South….

Fire History across River Kate Bunning 1957
Allen Flat 1951
I believe I heard spotted 1/4 mile out in front about 1/4 acre…maintain no divert on tankers
Correct heard the same
5 additional engines for structure defense near Rd 600. 2 more S-2’s from Paso and a LAT from SOP’s.
132 enroute from San Bernadino.
Those S-2’s from Paso are going to the new start in Kern.
I think that was 1200 potential for 2500
Div K stating the slop on her division is at least a couple hundred acres and is requesting 4 dozers and a water tender.
AA is recommending 6 tankers, 5 copters, AA over the fire at 8, everything else ready to fly at 8 for tomorrow’s order
Sounded like he said 1200 and corrected and repeated 2500 0%. I could be wrong!
I heard 2500 and 0
From a couple of reliable sources 2500 acres.
South Ops News & Notes has it at 2500 acres @ 1900 hours.
Spot across road 600. Division asking for rotors and fixed wings
