OG camp was hit hard but fared well so far. The fuel modifications around the camp saved most of it.

Apple AA is splitting up the S2’s to drop under AA
The LATs and VLATs brought through by Lead
Lead states this is probably going all the way to Palm Desert
Millard Fire scar could help slow the eastward spread
Lead state the fire is spotting out 1/2 mile and out running the tanker lines.
Can see no ground crews following up to hold the retardant building.
It may get into mission creek, but not palm desert
Fox 11 chopper is back up.
Several air tankers (type ones) reassigned to fires in LAC/ANF, and another just starting SLO.
Figuratively speaking its unstoppable today (probably what he meant).
VLAT Tankers are on hold and Lead is off fire. Did not hear a relief come on scene.
Too much turbulence.
LATs and VLATS back up from hold working west side.
AA Request out of state copters but, each copter would require a manager. Cancelled that request.
C2 is relief Lead.
