3 Copters have been unable to check the spot, now 20 acres requesting Fixed wing tankers. Div. A/Z break. Relief AT just arriving on scene. Getting briefed.
Ordering Fixed wing Tankers to attempt to box in the slop over. 5 Copters now working the slop over…
@14:10 update: tanker drops are being vaporized at coverage level 4. Copters are moving in, in the absence of Tankers overhead.
@14:40 update: Tankers are hooking the head and trying to run it across the ridge. 4 Tankers working.
5 airtankers now, CFR641 just came over the fire.
AA and the ASM just confirmed 3 LATs and 4 S2’s
From the Air traffic it sounds as though they are getting a handle on checking the up slope progress.
They just won’t be able to drop lower towards the river bottom.
Nice to see the dozer line in ahead of it. Thanks
It looks like that slop over is really heating up.
From what I could see from tollhouse road it’s got to be close to the dozer line, it was backing down the north part of the ridge and making a run along the ridge. the retardant is burned through now.

I believe this is an OES engine strike team from LA City?
AA15 up over the fire has just placed an order for 2 Type 1 Tankers to the Lake IP.
Am I correct: 169.975 A/G Command and 170.075 A/G Tactical ?
Update: will be painting the ridge from a Dozer line T intersection (fire has bumped the dozer line) and along the ridge, eastward, down to Dinkey Creek.
Yes…as it has an “8” as the second number, that makes it OES.
Already a column building in division alpha.
AA15 and Lead K5 has been scouting out primary mission in Dinkey Creek and currently too smokey for fixed wing. Div. A/D.
Secondary further east is being scouted by Lead, no joy. Both smoked out. Lead landing on hold.
Copters continue to build retardant from last days Fixed Wing work with the Mobile Retardant Base (MRB) near by.
Yes. LFD ST 1880C is comprised of
LFD BC’s Anderson / Franco
LFD staffed OES Type 3:
LFD Type 3:
Long Beach FD staffed Type 3:
The retardant line in with copter and Tankers was shutdown in Div.a/D about an hour after they made their first runs/drops. No Further use of fixed wing today. Poor visibility.
Any updates on progression ?
