Hearing that 3CH made an “unscheduled landing”

No damage to the ship and pilots are fine.

A testament to the skill and steel nerves of the pilots flying these fires.

North Ops is showing Californian Team 11 (Fogle) will be taking this one however California Team 14 has been on 2 hour for over a week. Any idea why the change?

That is because as of yesterday morning Team 11 came back up on the board for 2hr call (placing them back on normal team rotation). Team 14 is now back on 2hr call.

Calling for Evacs in Wildwood and closure of Hwy 36 between Hwy 3 & Wildwood Rd

The fire is pushing toward Hwy 36. AA can’t get Tankers under the column. It looks pretty active with a decent column right now. Hwy 3 is closed at 36 and units are moving into wildwood canyon for structure defense.

Wildwood evacuation just about complete. About to cut power to the area. Fire making crown runs and making crews hot foot it out of some areas.

1800: Fire has pushed west and several spot fires have gotten established for a total of 130-200 acres on the west side of Wild Mad Road (the “30 road”)

Earlier today confirmed the south has gotten into the bottom of Sec 25, the very top of the North Fork Beegum Creek. That entire gorge west to east is a watch out for terrain aligned winds as the coastal influence breaths with the valley.

Also see @pyrogeography post in the lightning thread with the mapping. This thing has a lot of room to do what it wants on its terms.

Last night’s IR with the Wild Mad Road for reference.
2020 August Complex in purple, 2015 fires in dark blue, 2008 fires are light blue.

With the IR map for reference, i would say this new intel means the fire has probably doubled(ish) in size since last nights flight?
