Iā€™m not to familiar with the area but from what I can see on heat maps it doesnā€™t look like the Holy footprint slowed it as much as one wouldā€™ve hoped? (Copied and moved accidentally posted to IA thread earlier my apologies to everyone)

Can anybody chime in on why the MAAFS arenā€™t flying this? Quick turnaroundā€¦

MAAFS need to be activated and put on orders. They arenā€™t staffed like civilian air tanker bases. Now that CA went back to a PL5 I would imagine these orders are in the works.

Edit: just noticed the governor declared a state of emergency which allows the army national guard to also be available, just like they are for the Line fire.

No aircraft is flying on the Elsinore side due to them being smoked out. Plus itā€™s a fight for aircraft with both the other fires going nuclear at the same time. I can see all three columns from my house and itā€™s very impressive.

Is there a federal or CALFIRE team managing the fire?

No team listed on Cal Fire website. I believe OCFA has a local team?

Maybe no fed teams. But CAL FIREs got 4 teams not assigned I think. Not to mention the countless type 3 teams

Taken from N Main Divide a few miles up from Blue Jay Campground, looking back on the Airport Fire, right, and Bridge Fire, left, in the distance. Serious when you can see flames from 50+ miles away.
