I’m fine with moving these posts over to the GIS Mapping thread or a new one.
Operating in secret on a plane that is “on scene” within the hour of most fires this season seems odd. What’s up with not sharing with the Calif taxpayers. Wildfire.org and app.watchduty.org have the FF’s and local residents best interest at heart.
take a look at the soda ridge 1 cam… it is really coming alive

I agree, move it to general discussion. Much of this has nothing to do with the specific mountain fire, and much to do with legalities and possibly some politics.
Mod Note
All further GIS/Mapping comments need to occur in the GIS thread. Further will force movement.
Carry On
It sure got some good smoke column going a little after 20:00 and some more about 20:45. Does anybody know what happened? Was there a firing operation?
Is there an iap or maps for today ?

Fire History: (Caltopo is not showing Mill perimeter, Mill Perimeter is my best swag.)
How about the fact there are lots of homes and most likely many lives lost and its being kept behind the curtain to protect families and possibly an investigation? Way to jump to conclusions and sling mud…
11 strike teams of Charlie’s? They are probably going to have to start pulling from South Ops. I would assume northern region units are getting short
They have been hitting LG hard.
I believe most if not all of the OES resources sent to Oregon are being released and reassigned today to the Mill / Mountain today.
I know stuff from the MVU Border 32 got sent up to the Mill/Mountain.
San Luis Obispo county diverted their mixed ST from the Route to the Mill/Mountain, and Vandenberg sent five single-resource entities too. South Ops has definitely supported some resources.
Not to mention all the north region engines and crews that were sent to south region last week to preposition, and are still hanging out down there.
Two Charlie strike teams left San Diego yesterday evening headed up to the Mill/Mountain
I know the XSA OES type 3 was confirmed reassigned from Rum to Mountain.
