Todays public update sounded really good, all lines have been holding and according to AA yesterday fires looking really good hopefully they continue there hold.
Mountain HLCO is requesting 2 copters and 2 tankers to address fire that has crossed containment line in Div PP. Potential limited to 10-15 acres if they can catch it at the ridge.
There is quite a plume going up right now.

Wow. That got cranking in a hurry!
I’m guessing that is where the slop occurred. That’s why there have been several tankers dropping over the last 30-60 min on this fire.
Didn’t catch the division but requesting immediate need Charlie ST. If more than 1 hr out, then 5 any type.
Well established slop on section 14. RROS.
MEU just punched out an immediate need ST to SKU
AA just requested a VLAT
Numerous resources were emergency demob’d from this to both the mosquito and forward incidents over past few days.
STE
just toned out to go to SKU from TGU
And they’re getting them … from the Mosquito.
T911 inbound from MCC, just over Chico.
T910 and T912 look to be loading at MCC
The view from Lake Shastina webcam is pretty remarkable - a lot of ash from the Mill Fire is whipping north with strong winds, setting sun looks like the Eye of Sauron, staring out over freakin’ Mordor. ALERT Wildfire
