Type 1 strike team requested. CHP to close highway 74.
Sounds like OCR doesn’t want AA to respond.
As long as they only use the tankers for one drop than that’s ok. Otherwise, they’re breaking policy .
AA504 is committed to the Tripp incident, asked about reassignment and was told negative. So perhaps they will request a different AA
AA310 assigned to the fire.
Should be ORC, not OCR

ORC* requesting 2nd alarm
Fire is 5 acres, sounds like significant progress is being made. Significantly less smoke production seen on the cameras.
Final acreage was is 7.5
