In Gilman Springs:
5 acres, MROS, potential of 500 acres requesting 2 additional type 3 tankers.
AA requesting 1 LAT and 1 type 1 standard copter.
250 acres, 1 VLAT, and 2 additional LAT’s requested by AA.
Edit @ 1610…No VLAT Available, AA asking for additional type 1 Tanker.
Another view from Ranger Peak, the fire has hit heavier fuels at the ridge top.
Coulson t-210 and cal fire 130 heading south from MCC. I believe it will be the first fire for T-122 to actually drop on. It’s been cancelled the other few times it’s taken off.
A little fire fuel history for the area. 1994 (Soboba) 1996 (Wolfskill) 1998 (Edna) 2003 (Soboba) 2006 (Gilman) and I know I am missing a few still. Many an engine stand or hose lay off HWY 79, Gilman Springs and down thru the Lockheed property I do not think Esperanza 2006 hit that area
4 Dozers and a Comm Unit requested Immediate Need.
Tanker 210 arriving on scene with Tanker 74.
Tanker 122 just dropped
The Fire is 650 acres. Potential for 1K.
The 2006 Esperanza Fire burned to within 3/4 miles east of the Soboba Casino.
VNC Charlie S/T en-route. Cams not showing much action or smoke.
AA says it is holding for now.
