Early this morning (8am) I heard AA requesting an air firing module AFM, I believe. Did not hear the report location for that. I heard the request for tankers to the Atas IP.

I am catching AG Command traffic on a 4 copters working the fire. Requests from AA for tankers or scoopers to “slow down this fire”.
I see kinda some column on Blue:
