Still looks nasty on the cameras, are they getting a hold of it?

They still have 1 VLAT, 2 LATs and 3 S-2’s assigned.
Might be only so much airspace.

This incident and the one in NEU are drawing a lot of air resource requests. Trying to free up available aircraft for re-assignment.

Guessin’ the ramp at SMX is a wee bit busy — but it’s nice that 910 isn’t having to reload in San Berdoo…

Neither of those are the Ramona Tankers. T-70 from Ramona is on the Camino(I suspect they have a trainiee).
T-80 came from Hollister, and T-100 is the spare and probably came from Columbia or Hollister.

I believe T-76 was replaced with T-70 because it’s a training ship, but I might’ve misheard that traffic

Quite a bit of air resources indeed. This was after 76/78 were released and 910 is currently on the ground

910 is already back in the air… only off the fire for 30ish from drop to return. Not too shabby

325 acres/30% contained, caused by a catalytic converter Per this morning’s official update

Any more specific about the catalytic converter, such as a vehicle parked in fuels, or was the CAT coming apart and spitting hot debris into the fuel?

The info on the incident information sheet posted in the IA forum simply states catalytic converter.

The local news station (KSBY) interviewed CalFire for last night’s broadcast and they referenced finding “catalytic converter material” in the apparent area of origin. I interpret that as a cat failure vs. just a hot cat on the fuel.
