looks rather sporty
Aircraft assigned: A1BV, T74, T75, H602
4 acres, MROS, light fuels transitioning into brush
AA requested two additional tankers any type and two type 1 copters
There are a lot of homes scattered throughout that area, a lot of which are on single lane, windy roads and driveways.
T76, T78, 3PJ, 37S
Shes straight gone…
Five additional type 3 engines, closest available requested
Just tuning in. Intersections or land marks mentioned?
I know folks in the area.
Thanks for the response guys. My friends are just a few blocks away.
Is it too early to call the Carlos-Gifford-Madre fires the Chupacabra complex?
Here is a weather station nearby: San Diego Road wx
Dont count out T74 & T75 - #theyperform!! So do the boots on the ground in that country…
San Rafael Rd x San Carlos Rd
My acreage guess? Low end 15 to 20. High end 40 acres.
if it’s a hundred or something, ruh roh
edit: the smoke is pretty white…
Basically due west of the State Hospital & west of the 101.. Almost half way between 101 & 41 West..
If it gets closer to OR reaches Toro Pk - then id say go for it!!
based on the smoke on the wildfire cam, and the smoke I can see with my eyes, I feel like the energy output has lowered quite a bit
edit: forward progress stopped at 40 acres
Although this one may be a harbinger of a bigger fire(s) yet to come - especially given the incoming Wx - as i keep saying NEVER underestimate the power of T74 & T75 in this neck of the woods - they have always had some kind of special Force powers that i cant quite put my finger on. They slingin some effective mud!! And yes i know the “typical” marine influence in the salinas valley does not hurt either - But, if you’re a local you know what i mean..
