AA confirming a structure threat. Tankers are going into defensive drops near the structures.
Looks like it’s got quite the downflow push on it. Stay heads up, guys.
IC says 25 acres now in heavy fuels. Tankers just made 1st drop. Requesting 2 additional AT’s for a total of 6. Potential for 500+
25 acres potential for 500 RROS heavy fuel.
2 additional tankers any type for a total of 6.
Dangerous rate of spread.
The rain did not hit that area, but it appears the outflow winds have as the column is laying over pretty good.
looking the way that smoke is bouncing in the cam. their getting downdrafts and micros over or near the fire. be careful out there
Definitely building. Watched two tankers make a drop with no effect, and turn to reload.
Ground winds in Murrieta estimated sustained 6mph, gusting 15-20
RRU has a second small fire that they are working on RVC 8
Wind is romping down the hill in menifee
I thought I heard 2 additional tankers, for a total of 8
no divert on tankers for life threat
Tanker 76, 78 off Porterville for this incident.
AA is adjusting, requesting 1 type 1 out of Santa Maria.
