The fire entered the BLM wilderness early on and AA requested to place retardant in it. BLM approved but no dozers or handline allowed. Fire is about 1/2 mile from De Anza and I’d guess it’s close to a 1000 acres now.

A large aircraft order was placed early on. A VLAT was requested (910) but went down mechanical and was replaced with T911 from McCellan. The AA requested two additional LAT’s about an hour ago.

No handline allowed?
Guess BLM wants it to burn down to the Desert floor.

The RAWS at Mountain Springs Grade is about 5 miles east of and a few hundred feet lower than the fire area, but gives a general idea of local conditions. It recorded RH at 2 P.M. as 5%.

The Raws show at midnight gusts up to 40mph last night and night before. They are about 15-20 right now. Winds are double in the evening hours. That will be an issue

Hey @fyre just fyi the FIRIS perimeters are publicly shared. If you are not seeing it on the map of your choice, google earth, ATAK, watchduty, calfire incident map etc then it means they did not fly the incident again.
