Never good when you’re putting out spot fires under the finance trailer, or the Time Unit has to put on yellows. https://youtu.be/RLJYigWchf0

Starting to see some activity on the Eighmy cam. Looks like it’s getting some fresh air on it.

It looks like a couple spots taking off out front. This is looking due south from near the PG&E substation on Gas Point.

Heads up - the orange here is just filtered sunlight, not the otherwise 800-1200ft flame it would otherwise have to be for this. It looks real convincing though.
Squeezing in last of the MAFFS drops on this for the night. Point protection on structures, back firing around R Ranch, there’s a spot somewhere. AA chitchat thinks it’ll run a few more miles into the valley tonight.
Troubleshooting radio/antenna issues on the live scanner. Both BCT15X’s are deaf to NIFC Commands, or antenna issue. Flipping tables over chasing this down. (isolated to antenna. On a portable VHF repeater antenna/tripod in the yard and NIFC Cmd4 breaks squelch, so embarrassing 
we’ll get there)

On the teams question, does a full calfire IMT have to assist the fed IMT when it goes unified, or can some local Unit experts handle the calfire side of things for the time being (until the wind event blows this down to Yolo…)
No not at all
Unified command has and usually is accomplished with local Unit staff when a federal team is assigned.
If a team is being brought in there is a specific reason ie… zoning extreme Sra/ infrastructure threat that requires extensive pre planning , and sometimes good old politics

Probably off topic heading up from so ca. Can anyone give me a idea for Basecamp location. I got east of red bluff off 36?
It was at the R Wildhorse Ranch off Hwy 36, but I understand some elements are at the Shasta Co Fairgrounds in Anderson

This isn’t a post to chastise you personally, however, you do bring forward a very proper teachable moment and reminder for everyone with your question. Before you get on the road, at the time a dispatch call is made, especially for a planned need order, if the orders aren’t clear and precise, you need to be asking. Some incidents have multiple camps, multiple check in points and multiple agencies using different ordering Contracts. If you don’t verify the specifics up front, that can cause a whole lot of downstream issues and confusion. Your dispatch orders should have all of the correct information, at least as of that moment, if they don’t clarify with whomever your call out came from.
