AA15 requesting the 2LATs at fresno base to the fire. Working West flank Div.A.
Update at 12:15, 4 LATs were working the next objective a contingency line with double dozer wide line and retardant double wide in Fence meadows. AA has T121 enroute… 3 spots already over the line that he’s hoping T121 will catch… maybe Div.G - J…
Impressive column building Delilah Cam2
update 16:00, Fire activity has moderated; Crews have gone direct with dozers, hand crews and masticators across the north flank. If indirect line is made, firing is planned today and night. Copters will support with retardant drops to add depth. Spots were engaged directly.
