CA-SNF-Wildcat

I don’t believe there is an official incident name yet.

Near Big Creek Rd x Trimmer springs rd above Pine flat reservoir. Watchduty has reports of 10-15 acres. MROS.

Anyone have a better broadcastify channel ? The one I’m using doesn’t seem to have much of the radio traffic.

not much radio traffic right now. Ground units not on scene yet. h40 was there but left. been watching and listening for about an hour

I’m listening to “CalFire FKU, Fresno County Fire, Sierra National Forest, Kings Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park” using the Scanner Radio app. You can listen to it by going to CalFire FKU, Fresno County Fire, Sierra National Forest, Kings Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park

Thank you much.

From what I remember the area is steep.

it’s actually going to be @Sierra_NF but it’s not on wildcad yet

originally it was the Wildcat IC because NIFC had one in the Wonder Valley area and that’s where they looked first but the dispatcher kept telling them to go up by Trimmer

oh it’s still being called th~I Wildcat IC

I’ve been watching and listening to this fire for 2 hours and they’re still not there. I feel bad for them.

I’m really familiar with the area. Windy narrow roads. The stretch from the lake to balch camp feels like it takes foooorrreever
