CHP just announced that NB I-5 is open with no restrictions. They were pacing/escorting earlier.
CalFire IMT4 is assigned. Expect them to officially take over the fire at either 1800 tonight, or 0600 tomorrow.

Siskiyou Reload Base opened late last evening and is hot-loading the S2T’s today. Amazing turn around time on that. The bulk of the LATs are loading out of Klamath. T914 was assigned, made a drop, and is loading and fueling at Medford for a divert to Cleveland NF for CA-CNF-West.
Edit: T911 committed as well to a drop over Klamathon, then back to KMCC for reload then diverted to CA-CNF-West

Thanks for the info. With as much private property at risk and the evacuations, I would think there would be some sharing with the public as far as fire maps go.
I’m particularly interested in the movement of the south end of the west flank at the base of cottonwood peak.
