IC requesting an additional 5 type 3 engines. Sounds like fire is down in the canyon. Air Attack stated they couldn’t get to it with tankers given its location in the bottom of the canyon. EDIT: Working it with tankers now at 1330 hrs.
Some scanner traffic
“Normally” burns to the top and holds.
Yeah, “normally.” Let’s hope something is normal this year! I’m hearing a lot of the coms between AA and the aircraft and no discussion of significant spotting. Let’s hope it stays that way.
Yeah normally takes about a week to deal with these.
Starting evacuation of Lake Clementine area.
AA reporting 20 - 25 acres.
AA230 just got relief from AA500. T88,T89,T102,T15, Helo 104 and H204 on incident. Type 1 load at MCC, type 3s at GV
Sounds like they are inserting crews from the top.
Command net moved to CalFire CMD 2 151.265
T15 out with a mechanical at MCC, asking if AA wants a replacement
Jumped foresthill rd
Ordering replacement for T15
Per AA, 15 to 20 acres holding within retardant lines, extreme spotting potential. Helos doing good work on left flank. Trying to knock the heat out of the middle of it… T102 wants to drop on right flank where he said it was eating through a bit.
There are quite a few good pictures of the fire taken from the bridge posted on YubaNet. Scroll down to get to the pictures.
Ordering 5 additional dozers & 6 hand crews.
Spot over Foresthill rd is 1-2 acers
Believe I heard LNU dispatch 9140C immediate need to NEU
