This morning AA15 flew the SNF and reported the Fish fire has doubled in size. No acreage given. INF has the management of it and will not be staffing it. Reported as continuous fuels to support further growth.

Inyo NF hoping to manage the Fish Fire. As of last night it was 1/4 of an acre, 1/4 of a mile west of the PCT/JMT, with a very slow rate of spread in high rocky terrain.

AA15 enroute Rodgers Ridge for smoke check, South of Wishon Reservoir.
@16:20 nothing on Rodgers Ridge… heading for Black Rock Reservoir on another smoke report.
Fire Watch 51 flew the SQF and has exited the air space finding no smokes in the Sequoia
forest.
@16:40 raining over Black Rock area (so no go there) and flew the Cow Fire with no smoke showing off of it.
I believe the conversation with the BC and AA that there are suppression crews enroute to the Cow. Jump 49 (N49SJ tail - out of Tonopah) is now on scene and inserting crew in meadow below the fire.

APX this is that other start you mentioned earlier. Named the “chain incident”
The black waypoint is for reference
Finger crossed they catch it. I spend some time over there. It is in the rough burn scar that’s almost 10yrs old.
Edit: just on the edge of the rough fire

Jump49 is the plane. In this case it has 10 jumpers on board. They can drop all, or small groups, depending on their assessment of the needs of the fire. Then the senior jumper becomes the IC on a given fire. Funny to hear them call each other by name on the ground. And “Jumper Smith is XXX IC”.

They would get around to it once they get them mapped.
Obelisk has 3 jumpers, Cow has 2 jumpers and Chain has 2 jumpers. All are long hikes in and will report size up’s if I catch them. Jumpers are on SNF fire net 172.225.
Jump49 (N49SJ tail - out of Tonopah) if your looking at air radar. Enroute Fresno for fuel and maybe RON at Fresno to.
AA15 has a 4th fire/smoke he’s heading to.
@18:36 AA15 is north of Huntington Lake over the 4th incident. 37 16.73 x 119 12.37, 40x40 ground fire in the Creek Fire burn scar.

Obelisk peak is right on the border of Kings Canyon National Park and the SNF.
the flight path of the Jump plane shows the area of Hoffman peak, Castle Peak and Obelisk Peak, so anywhere between those 3 points are where the fires area.
