1 Type 2 Helicopter and 1 Air Attack ordered for tomorrow morning.
Incident is now a Type 3.
Tanker 78 from Porteville (Via Staging at Columbia) has been assigned to the fire. Tankers have been reloading out of Chico.
Wildcad is showing MNF BAT-31, MNF ENGINE3-32, MNF ENGINE 3-33, MNF ENGINE 3-35, MNF ENGINE 45, MNF PT-39, MNF WATER TENDER 38, MNF WATER TENDER 39, and MNF WATER TENDER 48 either on scene or committed to the incident.
I believe I heard Battalion 31 as IC.
Current weather conditions: 86 Degrees, NE wind at 5 mph with Gusts to 13mph, 17% RH. The smoke is showing on visible Satellite now.
AA15 is off Fresno enroute to this fire. Obviously not all the North Ops Air attacks are on yet. Currently an ASM, I believe out of Redding, is the AA at the moment.
The coordinates from the MNF wild web KML:
39°28’5.16"N
122°39’59.76"W
Edit: That is fairly close to the MODIS hit, so is should be close. By the 18N02 Road.
