That’s llloonggg range spotting!
Immediate evacuation needed for kinsman flat on the west side of the river!
The tankers are grounded because it was getting bumpy near the column.

Firing operations approved for Mushroom Vista and Sheep Thief housing/cabins area west of Huntington lake. Structure protection.
Another spot has been in the cascadel and whiskey ridge area.
This fire getting way out of hand with the long range spots. That’s miles from the main fire.
This is from family who was being Eva’ed a bit ago. Taken from the lake. Sitting in heavy traffic on way out…
If it’s spotting into Cascadel that is roughly 10 miles from Big Creek as the crow flies.
AA requested 2 type 1 tankers and Lead plane. Clean air on east flank.
Tankers 76, 82 are available and will be supporting Cascadel.

Looks like probably 2015 Willow Fire then. Very close to Cascadel. Same with 2001 North Fork Fire. Both would have been just north of Cascadel on the western aspect of Whisky Ridge (which would likely be why you remember Peckinpah ) and into South Bass Lake area.
AA states critical rates of spread northerly up the San Joaqiun River drainage. No stopping it.
Any suppression resources to the north along with people need to be evacuated. Including the north east flank. He’s not entirely sure of the landmarks to help out where the perimeter is.
Fire Watch 51 enroute from Modesto to map perimeter.
Fire confirmed in Wiskey campground. I don’t see that on google…looking, see whiskey falls campground.
Mammoth Pools and Wagner store area now in the evacuation zone.
There are reports of the fire already in Wagner campground near Mammoth Pools, per the IC or Ops via a phone call her received.
He stated “fire already on the ground”.
Is a long ways from where I thought the bulk of the fire was.
