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…

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.

I heard CAL FIRE Team 1 is helping with maps for the Hat in addition to the Carr.

Between the fuels in the those mountains and the weather conditions it’s still a significant threat.
As a retired SitStat (CalFire IMT 3) I am a little suspicious of the lines and acreage on this map. My guess is that later maps will show a little more topographical influence.
This isn’t a criticism, just an observation. I put out plenty of maps in the early stages of a fire that were best guesses.
