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.

From AA-310.
