If you play the video back someone (Tanker) threw some Retardant at it. Dropped along the ridge.
AA grabbed t83 n t82 from the oak until t79 n t80 arrived from Hollister. They are at scene now
It’s the #WheelerFire in Coulterville
2 acres slow-mod ROS potential for 50 in grass & oak woodland was AA440s first report - listed as Wheeler IC in IRWIN. AA releasing T82 & T83, they have 4 copters from the Oak on it. LE said 5 acres, haven’t heard another size up since, feeds covered w/ Oak traffic.
Me neither but I have someone with a scanner in the area trying to get updated from him
Smoke first shows on Moccasin Cam at 14:09-14:11 as its panning to the south. Three to four ridges out.
Picture capture came out poor:
Seeing Tankers 79 and 80 back on station.
Watching the cameras it looks like the wind may be giving them some problems
Shows pretty well on a laptop. Cell phone might be difficult though
I wonder if this start was fallout from the oak. It seems far fetched but the winds are much more active, especially considering the bull frog fire was more than likely fallout from the creek in 2020.
Last update was 8 to 10 acres. T82 and T83 went back to the Oak Fire then got released and are headed back to the wheeler fire
Hearing forward progress stopped
There’s no way.
