Same. I’ll text him and see what he can see
Says aircraft are beginning to work the area.
Jhillard, how about a link to his feed?
Is there an IAP for today? Or comm plan
CAL FIRE posts theirs to the public NIFC ftp site.
Any scanner feed of the incident? Not hearing command or air.
Simple plan fight fire, and protect structures
Has only partially worked so far.
Not throwing shade. Lots of people and stuff protected.
Can residents along Clear Creek Rd east of Placer Rd in the area of Ono make egress down to Platina safely? Is there a cut off where people need an earlier trigger (warning for evac) just in case this thing pushes?
Dr. Daniel Swain of Weather West blog thinks we may have seen an actual fire tornado yesterdlay.
I would believe it by the way the debris was thrown around. Trash cans way in yards trees and brown house debris across roads.
Ops asked for Div X and Y to alert to any fire in sections 8,9,10 for T31N, R6W, which is the end of Zogg Mine Road and Horse Canyon Road area north of Igo. Fire in those sections will trigger new evacs further south. Otherwise yes, Platina road (ditchbank as the locals call it) out from Igo towards Platina/Hwy36 has no impact from fire so far.
EDIT: No longer live apparently as of 1545
KTVU live feed.
Multiple references on Command Net last night during the event to “currently experiencing/witnessing a fire tornado”. I believe it was either Shasta or South Structure Group, their voices had the hint of “what are we facing.” Others referred to the column leaning very heavy and rotating.
