New fire out in the Carrizo Plain, Hwy 58 at Soda Lake. From the La Panza cam
Tankers 74, 75, 76 and AA501 overhead.
I think they are calling this one the Valley Fire,.
Update:
Name changed to Soda due to fire in LNU named Valley.
500 acres, potential for 1,000. Just requested 2 additional type 3 tankers and 1 type 1.
Okay, thanks,
Looks like another fire popped up on the La Panza Cam just south of the Soda Fire.
