Wind shear along the ridge.
Dangerous.
Starting evacuations on Long Gulch Road
The fire is 300 acres per SKU
#BadgerFire(Update)- Fire is 350 plus acres with 5% containment. All Evacuation Warning and Orders remain in effect. Cause is still under investigation.#CALFIRESKU2020
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, 500β+
Must be holding the tankers due to visibility? If the lines are indirect Iβd bet, given the fuel type, itβs gonna come out of the dozer lines.
AA501, AA503, T94 and 95 off Redding
Couple of type 2βs and the crane heading south over Ashland. S2βs have been running for a couple hours now.
Probably going to lose some if not all air assets to the Platina and Gibson
