Fire in City of Riverside. 5-10 acres, wind driven in light fuels with RROS and structures threatened. IC has made this a 3rd alarm. Potential of 40+ acres

Intel 24 en-route. Since this is RIV and not RRU no aircraft have been requested yet. Looking a little sporty on the Cams.

No…been listening since the beginning and its the Mandalay IC. WD has not updated fire name yet. I think they guessed based on the initial fire location

reminds me of the Hawarden fire, where activity was moving way faster than the IC could adapt too

IC says they are working on a large resource order. IMO its way late in the game for that with fire conditions on the cams

I’ve only heard the 4th alarm resources and the 5 additional closest. Nothing since then

They are wrong! I’ve already explained myself as to why.

RIV Batt.1 is IC and RIV Batt 2 is OPS. ICP is on Tyler south of Jurupa

Per IC fire is 10-15 acres…I think that is very low based on the cams…and he states they are still on the phone with CALFIRE trying to work out aerial assets for the fire.

Looks like Watch Duty corrected this to Mandalay. This absolutely the Mandalay Fire.

There are already 5 engines and a BC on scene from Riverside County. I wonder if they are confusing CAL Fire (state) with CAL Fire (county.)

Per IC they were just advised 2 AT’s and an AA are enroute

I think the 5 any type engines from 30 ago are different than the 5 CF engines. I’ve listened to a lot of fires and it just sounds like RIV is being very cost concious

This would all be covered under MMA and CFMA other than the aircraft….

I get that. Just giving my opinion based of radio traffic. SND would have asked for the national guard for a 3 acre fire. Different fire management for sure
