The report before sunset from the IC: they are spike bedding it tonight, feel safe enough. Escape routes, two, are picked out.
Line built to meet the retardant drops that have fully boxed the fire. No support though for those drops.
Reassess in the morning. Sounds like they are close the the Basin. I don’t know the land. But, the chief thought they should pull out.

Lookin at maps, I’m sure the goal is to keep it on one side of the river because that’s a loooooong river drainage bowl for it to run up with any decent winds.
