The next good break is Highway 152 after Canada Rd. Sounds like a strike team from NEU is code 3 to Crews
This is all north of 152, unless the north wind takes over. The only road to stop is Canada Road that heads north from 152 to Coyote FFS. If not there, it has room to run.
IC requesting assistance with Evacuations of all of Canada Rd.
Im at Ferguson and Crews…wind is from the north
IC reporting fire is now 500-600 acres w/ potential for 2,000+ acres. The fire is spotting all over.
Per Air Attack, “500-600 acres with a potential of a couple thousand acres. This thing is really starting to roll.”
AA 460 is 10 minutes from leaving off the incident due to no relief. One of the copters has a qualified AA who will temporarily take over AA, but relief AA is needed immediately to keep the air show going.
AA ordered 2 additional copters. I believe for a total of 5
AA 140 is spooling up and heading in for the relief
It sounds like Cañada Road is holding. They have a slop over on the left flank and will concentrate the tankers on the left flank.
AA 460 is timed out for the day.
4 additional AT’s on order and an ASM, per air attack.
To clarify AA ordered a lead plane and 3 S-2 or better tankers and a VLAT.
Tanker 85, 86 en route
1000 acres.
Potential for 5k acres
Evacuations on Highway 152 from Bloomfield to San Felipe Road
Hollister Air Attack Base is out of retardant. Tankers are going to Paso and Columbia to reload.
Weather is cooperating. 43% at 1830, winds are W 8 gusting to 13.
