CA-SHF-Lava(3-4?)??

[Chaparral]

Just so we are clear here:
This is not your Facebook page. This thread is for questions and discussion related to the fire.
We are not here to Monday morning quarterback incidents from the recliner. Especially when you are not in the command center to know what was transpiring.
If your posts are inflammatory or derogatory, they will be removed! This is not your Facebook page.
If you want to have a conversation about the fire response in a polite manner, in a separate thread that is fine.
Additionally, the large majority of the Moderators are active firefighters. We do not have time to send a message for every post that is deleted, while we are punching out, responding with, or on strike teams, or on our home turf running calls. We have been moderating The Hotlist and this site for years, and know when things are not being discussed in a manner that is intended for positive change.
If someone has a problem with that they can message me, we can talk one on one.

Now back to the fire.

Has there been a data package created for ATAK yet?

[norcalscan]

I’m still getting my feet wet with ATAK, so not sure specifically for this fire. But I believe the KML will get the data as soon as its uploaded.

Well stated, thanks…

Does anyone know why the aircraft are disappearing from flightradar24 when they enter the fire area?

[TheBrushSlasher]

Their signal gets blocked by the surrounding mountains.

officer involved shooting in the fire area, one suspect killed. Just an idea of what LE and fire are dealing with in the Shasta Vistas subdivision at the fire.

Officers shoot, kill man near pot farm in Lava Fire evacuation zone

Wind switched around at 0100 to the north, dozers were able to smash around the finger that pushed out into Mt. Shasta Vista. The airshow has been more consistent than yesterday am.
The wind just now picked up again from the south, and the column is beginning to build and lay over. The left flank of the heel are the greatest threat today, it could push out in a finger as it did yesterday…

Looks like they are hitting it pretty well.

Looking a bit dark and ominous on the Delta/Hotel side of Branch I

Any intel on what’s up with that side of this beast?

[logchief1]

From the Girard camera it’s doing well and you can see the Tennent coming up over Mt. Shasta

[FAFmedic]

AA or helco just reported that the fire is “off to the races”. Never good. Also reported that the tennant is also cranking and he expects to lose resources to it

[norcalscan]

15min time lapses around 5pm tonight from Hammond Ranch and Antelope showing the wind shifts at various heights, as well as one side of the fire experiencing something totally different.

Ground intel sharing feeling like Lava is being influenced by Tenant. After wagging its tail all day, it made a good run for an hour directly towards the Tenant column. Tenant column collapsed about 20-30 ago and Lava now switched back to pushing south - what I had seen in my last post on the cams around 1700-1715ish. Tenant is showing two separate pyroCu…

[dbrown95521]

You think Tennant is having more terrain effects? Being more terrain than wind? Sure looks that way from the earlier mapping post.

[dbrown95521]

And then I looked at the Tenant posts. My snow science brain working out of season.

Any out of county local government strike teams mobilized? Seems quiet on the OES side.

[Abracy81]

OES has only sent 1 charlie s/t to the Lava Fire.

[BlueZebra]

XCZ put out some resources yesterday. Haven’t heard anything today. Plus some locals, XSK, XSH, etc.
