AA up, IC advising dozer and/or hand line around most of the fire.

Holding the tankers on the ground (no need for them right now) and bringing in a couple of copters.

Good portion of the lines are indirect, 500’+

Must be holding the tankers due to visibility? If the lines are indirect I’d bet, given the fuel type, it’s gonna come out of the dozer lines.
