To take a positive from a negative fuels are much much lighter to none to the west and northwest.
That part of the Sierra didn’t burn during the creek.

Copter 95B, helitanker dipping out of West Lake. That might help map it too.
Copter 520 had to off load 1 person to lose weight and then respond. Too heavy for altitude.

Bretz mill CG was a Staging area for equipment during the Creek. There is a FS Station all the way down the Peterson Road/Big Creek Road as well right next to the Camp Ground

Pretty well tied in by roads, 15 acres and slow rate of spread with some spots, hammering it with aircraft.
