FKU forming up an immediate need strike team at Piedra for structure protection at Balch Park.
Strike team 9461C, which I assume was the cover strike team in FKU.
Div. A along the Kings river and Balch Road has multiple spots. Road 11S02 will be the fall back to prep and hold if needed.
Copters enroute and additional ground resources .
Auberry Helibase established.
2 Type 1 tankers building indirect retardant along east ridge top towards Balch Camp.
@15:10 spotting is over 20 acres and running to ridge…tankers now working spotting…
@ 15:20 Tankers can’t drop into this run or help, too many hazards and very rapid spread RROS…well established south side of the Kings River in section 22
AA15 requesting Lead Plane and a VLAT. Note an Inyo Fire is utilizing many air resources.
@ 15:50 IC and Div.A concur that this will quickly jump the 11S02 road and into Balch Camp Structure Group.
