S2 Circling Bonville Road x Interstate 5

You have a feed link?

I believe this is going to be right outside the Delta fire perimeter. If it’s just inside, this piece of the Delta fire had very mosaic burning, leaving some areas scorched, others dead, and jackpots all over. And very dry is an understatement.

Can’t speak for the Broadcastify links for SHF traffic, this will be closest bet. My scancal.org/live.html has SHF Forest Net and SHF IA air freqs, but it’ll be behind the TGU and SHU on priorities and that’ll be too far up canyon for air.

Trying to sort out Gibson from all the other the traffic. AA is trying to order a lead, but his next tanker from his order is coming from South Ops and I thought I just heard him cancel that and would keep T94 and T160

They have closed NB I-5

Requesting UP railroad to shut down

Also the NB I5 closure sounds like it’s temporary while Caltrans sets up a #2 lane closure.

IC is stating that the fire may impact the railroad, and to shut down railroad.
Gibson IC still has 2 type 2 crews on order, and 10 additional engines. Was informed that they couldn’t get 2 strike teams, and they are coming single increment. IC ordered additional water tenders.

AA released T-89? but not quite sure what is going on with that, and 2 type 2 copters (may be an order for 2 type 1’s) were ordered.

If the fire is in the Sacramento River canyon they may not be able to use retardant due to it getting in the river. May have to go waer drops only

Just saw a retardant drop on the east side of the river, but fairly high up the slope. Don’t know for sure if the fire is on both sides of the river? But, that drop would suggest it is, or expected to be shortly.

A post was merged into an existing topic: CA-SHF-Gibson

AA and Redding working on aircraft logistics, Scoopers could RTB South Lake Tahoe, but if needed tomorrow, could stay local. AA mentioned he does not see a need for the Scoopers for tomorrow. They have a T1 and 2 T2 rotor on the fire. Some optimistic news.
