South helco just launched a couple rotor wing to clover dip. Must have some of it back.
dirfunguy,
Are you stating an official number? Or is it unconfirmed?
500 structures destroyed. They haven’t updated this number since this morning, I imagine there’s more

That was the number CAL FIRE released this morning:

Obviously, DINS is still in progress, and that number will change.

Thanks for referencing the source material!
Does anyone know if the fire is still burning into Redding or have they got a line up?
Units are being emergency demob’d to go to the Mendocino Complex. STC XNE4103C is one of these.

The entire Redding side I believe is in patrol status currently. That side has been blessed so far to escape the wind influences. It means it is still dangerous, hot spots can flare up, pieces can reignite, islands of unburnt fuel can still torch off etc. But there is no flame “front” or spread as we saw earlier. A lot of this area is urban, so there isn’t much “dozer line” declaring control. It’s more of street to street, ensuring structures are out cold so if they reignite they won’t throw embers into unburnt fuel etc.

@FireBCKev how did the actual Hoadley radio site look? I heard they got retardant but I couldn’t keep track of the iron work up there.
It looked pretty good, they punched the line up and around the back side of the site and widened it out quite a bit. The front side has the access road up to the tower, so they couldn’t really improve that. The plan was to widen the hoadley pk rd past the repeater and open up the adjoining ridgeline. The must’ve had a crew working back in there at some point because there were quite a few dropped trees around the site. And retardant was dropped. There’s quite a bit more resources on today’s plan for div F, so if they can finish that dozer line and get it plumbed, we should be looking pretty good for everything below the repeater site back down to 299W

@radio_N6CKV plenty of FM broadcast, TV 7 and 9, and I believe the W6STA 146.640 is up there. All on the air. You can see the Shasta WR6TV Amateur TV as well with live amateur radio video from Bally.
