Cedar Lodge residents, 3 to 4, have been evacuated with hard road closures in the area. (Conflicting info, may or may not have been evacuated or just evac stand by for Cedar Lodge area).
They ordered a few Dozers last night for a total of six going to the fire. They had the two MMU dozers at scene and more on the road inbound for day shift.
Per AA the fire is holding under 150 acres. Kept the Lead Plane coming, and just the 2 S-2’s out of Columbia. Too smokey, bad exits and too many wires to be flying the tankers right the moment.
