Pattymocus RAWS will give a good indicator of what the winds are doing above the Gorge. IC stated light winds at the moment. WX can be pretty squirrelly up there as it’s a significant change from mountain to valley influence right at the Gorge. The temp can change 10 degrees in a matter of a few miles up there.

http://norcalscan.live live scanner will have command, air attack and air/ground but it will be behind the Mendo Complex on priority. If it goes extended I’ll switch out the priorities.
AA just called for the tankers to be launched - Lead is over the fire.

Per IC, holding at 75 acres in between dozer lines, reports of some slop over, but resources holding.

At 1430: Still holding status quo. Holding two S2’s at Redding and Chico due to a couple spots outside the line but not launching them unless IC wishes them. Once a contract T2 copter returns from Carr Helibase, the agency copter will be released back to IA. Great catch this morning!
Edit 1515: launching the two S2’s back to the fire.

the 2 S-2’s ordered are just getting off the ground, the original aircraft got diverted from this incident to new start(s)

Those S2’s were eventually cancelled as the ground troops and copters picked up the spots. Copter 102 back to home. C104 I believe is picking up crew and getting back into IA coverage as well. Will leave AA and T2 contract rotor overhead.
