Team 11 Fogle on order
IC reporting 1500 acres - Div A (north) most active.
Resource Order for 10 Dozers, 5 Dozer Bosses, and 4 (?) Felling Bosses
1600 acres this morning. Multiple spots on the south side towards Beegum drainage (but not in it yet) in Sec 30 and 29.
Hearing that 3CH made an âunscheduled landingâ
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.

Here is a link to the IAP for today. You can see most of what is there.
Calling for Evacs in Wildwood and closure of Hwy 36 between Hwy 3 & Wildwood Rd
The fire is pushing toward Hwy 36. AA canât 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 â30 roadâ)
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 nightâs 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?
Thanks Chris for the picture. Worked with him the last two years on various fires. JB Fire Support.
