Too far south Pyro. It’s at the very top of middle fork cottonwood creek. VIIRS has it spot on.
If it was that far south it’d be in Beegum drainage and that wouldn’t be good with historical fires, terrain alignment, and Platina.

The cross with McCabe ridge and hayfork puts it right were NorCal said.

Looks like a fair amount of rain activity

Two large cells just to the north and south of the fire. HEavy rain and hail coming out and about to hit the incident, hold all fixed wing at base. Rotor looking for big leaves to park under…

Lightning mapping is showing some ground strikes east and south of the area. We are getting a good buildup in South Western Siskiyou CO right now.

Not a whole lot of moisture I’m afraid. Just a lot of rumbling. Unfortunately I see clear skies looking over towards that way. From Hayfork.

Hayfork cams showing some decent downpours. Hopefully it’s hitting the ground

900 acres per IC, starting all the assigned tankers back to the incident.

IC was placing a significant order for overhead and had some orders earlier he kept checking in on and not getting results. Sounds like CalFire is about to get a decent order as well and if this isn’t unified yet, it feels like there’s some good unified-esque communication happening between SHF/SHU on this one. SHU started Trinity County LCA as well with a lot of new starts north of this, so resources are thinning out pretty quick.

I’ve put the scancal live scanner on McFarland priority
Pri1 - McFar A/G
Pri2 - Shasta Forest
(pri 3-6 is TGU, SHU, Natl FF and AirGuard)
normal scan has McFar Air Tactics, ground tacs, Southfork District net, and IA freqs for the rest of the lightning mess.

You’ll need an mp3 streamer for this old-school stream. Paste the URL of the stream into “Network Stream” of your favored MP3 streaming app like iTunes/WinAmp on desktop or VLC app on mobile.

1900: T102, MAFFS 2, MAFFS3, all three VLATS all released for the evening. S2’s being diverted to new SHU starts, one in Del Loma it sounds like. (edit, T911, 914 both already loaded KMCC before the release so had to launch and make one more drop)
