Showing 30 acre fire in the area of Lakehead. Will this be blended into the CARR incident or managed as a separate incident?
Separate incident most likely. Well outside the Carr incident, completely different objectives. However Carr aircraft are already enroute and I’m sure there will be plenty of ground resources ready to swarm out considering the red flag starting this afternoon for the area for S-SW winds gusting 20-35. They’ll want this thing cold fast. I’m hearing it managed over SHF-Forest Net.
Anyone have a more precise location on this one?
Edit: found it:

Per the map, looks like Gillman Road north of Moore Creek Campground

1200 update: Per AA to IC, air still too smoky for tankers, 1 Kmax working it, order in for another T1 and T2 copter. Fire behavior is moderate to slow, slight east to west wind on it. Still 100-150 acres. Bulk of it is hung up in a rocky ledge/outcropping. They’ll definitely look at tankers if air clears.

Anyone have more info on this one? Seems to have dropped off the list, yet still burning hot.
They are expecting some crazy winds tonight, hubby said. Due to the terrain quite a few IHC’s are workin day & night. The proposed lines are quite a lot bigger than the Fire was but seems to be growin into it? Only able to get boots on the ground intel every couple days due to location. Not much help but it’s what I was told.
