Garnet IC updates to 600 acres.
Staffed lighting fires near the Garnet have heads up that they might need to evacuate their fires. That trigger point not reached. Have to look at mapping to figure which incidents that is.

IC states 600 Ac, trying to anchor and start a hose lay up the left flank.
Someone else (don’t know who) was talking about pulling resources out.
There is danger, IMAO.

Garnet outgoing AA430 estimates (20 minutes later then last post) that it’s at 800 acres. Relief AA B55 on scene.
B55 states it’s improbable that any work could hold the Rodgers ridgetop. Shut down tankers.
Garlic Fire requested tanker Drops on their fire so they have T121 enroute to cover it
in mud since Garnet has ended tanker drops.

There is a plan to the extent that Div.A is active and engaged in firing off 12S01 road from Hermit Hole, westward down river on the north side following the fire backing downslope. 12S01 at Hermit Hole eastward is blocked by many burned fallen trees.
SQF staging resources at Rodgers Bridge?? For engaging the south side of the
canyon.
East flank is extremely active in the Cam’s. @21:45
