2 copters assigned for bucket work in Div.M, there’s some fire activity challenging the line and AA is discussing if the dozer group can catch it or the feasibly of Tankers and retardant use.
There a column on QueenBee cam:

2 Lookouts reported an island burning out near the lines near Cape Horn and Louper (SP) Peak. I have not located that to find the Division or area on the fire.

AA15 flew the Div. A-B behind Cascadel Woods to direct crews into a slop over or a fire near the line. AA said it was no factor for concern. Calfire Crews are going in to deal with it.

FireWatch 507 went out (as AA or helco) an hour ago and is requesting copters for bucket work around Vermillion cliffs. Visibility is expected to be limited and may get shut down in a few hours.
AA15 came up for relief of 507 and stated that smoke on east side was deteriorating. AA landed Fresno about 20min. ago. Wait again for 507 to return around 14:00 recon.
