1030: fire is still held up on and around Evergreen Road, with a couple spots over Evergreen Road kept in check at the moment. Air Attack also reporting the fire is looking real good, lots of improvement.
If they keep this at Evergreen, HUGE stop and WUI disaster averted.

1145: still holding at Evergreen Road. LOTS of spotting potential still but there hasn’t been much spread in the last hour. VLAT and some LATs released. Two S2’s and LAT orbiting NW of incident for any new spot fires. Starting to collapse and consolidate some divisions.
C205 was out training when this started, returned to Vina but held there for further IA - good call. Known arson suspicious vehicle was seen at point of origin according to media. ST 9210C covering TGU.
