D2405 new IC,
REQ CHP shut down hwy 299
Heard the order go out for 5 addl tankers and a VLAT. Depending on what repeater they use, this one might be hard to hear from my spot in Red Bluff and the http://norcalscan.live live scanner.

GOES16 has this pretty intense on the IR, as well as the fire viewer and appears to be just starting an ice cap on the column.

Mandatory Evacs
East to Fall River Mills
West to where 299 crosses Pit River
North to Glenburn Road
South to the Pit River
Precautionary Evacs extend beyond east to McArthur and west to 299/89.
Live scanner has this on highest priority, carr on second priority and mendo complex on third priority (yes, a little heavy on the radio traffic but tis the season at the moment). You will need an mp3 streaming app for this, iTunes on desktop or on mobile the free VLC Media Player on App Store or Google Play Store. Type in http://norcalscan.live into the Network Stream of that app. Sorry, it used to “just work” on mobile but apparently not lately…

Let’s hope Team 1 can support them.
Hearing it’s over a thousand now
Any team talk
Good dozer country on the north side. Gomez Rd. Still a ways ahead of the fire so enough of a safety buffer. Once that gets complete they mentioned firing off that line this evening.
