Shasta College Evacuating
Updated road closures.
Air Attack and Command are optimistic about catching this once it gets in the flats, the further south it goes towards 299. It’ll be better terrain, and fuel loads will start to dissipate. As long as the winds behave.
600+ Acres now! Maybe going extended. Setting up command post center at Shasta College.
AA reporting fire starting to chew through the retardant lines, still have immediate structure threat on the right flank which seems to now be the priority.
1000 + Acres now!
Keep an eye on the Bear Mtn RAWS for right flank WX conditions.
PGE has a station on Palo Duro Rd at Old Alturas, down in the flats below the fire.
That one is currently showing 93 degrees, 19% and winds N7/G14.
5 additional engines being requested from staging to Elk Trail West for structure protection.
