Monte just advised two of the helicopters can’t lift because of wind. AA stated he would be putting a request in for a lead to assess for FW
yeah this one will be a corral’er and try to hold at Hwy 78. Reminding me of the speed of the Cedar Fire.

Also in response to Rotor wing not being able to lift off, AA said he’s not sure he can even work rotors due to wind at the fire also. 
EDIT- also, FYI, if you use alertwildfire.org cameras from a smart phone, it likely stretches the image 50% taller if you hold your phone vertical.
Turn your phone sideways and you’ll get an accurate image.
