Looks to be burning just above this neighborhood. Thinking the Shasta Lake webcam is not necessarily representative of overall burning conditions, though, as it only really shows what’s happening on the most sun-exposed part of the fire.

No AA so far. C102 and 202 enroute (C102 I thought was out of play earlier, but was simply dodging storms)

Traditionally I’d say a drop caught on a camera is nothing out of the norm these days… But March 4th, in SHU!?

Kinda surprised they’re running tankers (now up to four, and I know there’s two CL-415 scoopers parked there as of two days ago) out of Chico instead of Redding. Guess the latter must not be worked up yet?
EDIT: Columbia’s got a CH-47 warming up at McClellan, looks like, and another chopper’s coming down from the Modoc area. With these gusty northwest winds, even with a bit of recent precipitation this might be trouble for houses nearby.

The Scoopers are there for training/checkrides… much better weather in Chico than Spokane to knock those things out. They are not on contract.

If someone has a contact with the Shasta county air quality management district tell them they need to update the burn info on the 1-800 number.

All,
Please refrain from speaking off topic within this Q&D. All posts that were related to VMP’s, escape burn piles, private homeowners burning etc, were moved to the General Discussion thread under VMP’s. Carry on.

Did Cal Fire ever release a report/AAR on this escape/incident?
