Oso Fire is in the Mines Rd/ Del Puerto Cyn area, Sta 25/Sweet Water area
Part of the Canyon Complex Battalion 5,
Low on the aircraft priority list. It looks like only C106 is assigned.
T-88 and T-89 assigned now.

It appears to be behind the radio site given the aiming of the cam. Due west. Been to that hilltop many times. It’s going to be along time to reach it by dirt road. Alot of forks in all those roads and no signage. There is one or two ranches back in the drainage that are near this.
Grummett Creek Martin Creek areas. Drainages align north and south.

A lot of big fire history west of I-5. And this one looks to be headed that way also.
AA230 is pointed in that direction. So this fire is finally getting an AA. Most, if not all state fixed wing, are committed at this point.

The fire has grown quite a bit overnight, exceeding the camera’s ability to see it all.
Usual Command channel is 151.445. Its on Oso. But, I don’t hear traffic
about this incident. Someone have a frequency for command?
Cmd2 is CZU traffic.
The glow was quite visible from Modesto all nite even though the fire itself is on the back side of the ridge. This morning it was putting up a good deal of smoke but the column was laid over due to north wind. In the last hour it has started to build and is putting up a pretty good black column

Looks like it may be a “hold-over” that came to life. Whole new ballgame with a much bigger box…

Wind is picking up, gust to 16. Canyon is aligned north to south. If it get over Mt.Oso ridge line orientation changes to east west. If there’s tankers working they may have controlled the heal. It’s backing down to Oso very slowly.
RAWS South of fire about 6 miles:
