Been there before on the ground and as AA in 2017. Multiple lightning fire’s then created heavy smoke inversions that limited aerial resources to mid afternoon. The Six Rivers NF is rugged and tough on all resources working incidents there.
We saw it go nuclear from Shelly this afternoon. Incredible ice cap and collapse. She gone…
3437 acres by FIRIS overnight.
A lot of aircraft enroute to the fire
Cal Fire team 2 in briefing at 1800 today.
North Ops was showing CICIMT 4 assigned with an in brief not until the 19th at 1000. I’m not sure why it would take 2 days to assemble.
Very possible with all the fire activity many of Team 4’s people were already engaged elsewhere and it will take a couple of days to get them in place. Not an uncommon problem when we hit PL 4 or 5.
That makes sense, CICIMT 11 was in 4th position until team 4 was activated now they aren’t showing as available. Perhaps they have some members committed elsewhere.
As I understand it CICiMTs are down for 7 days upon completion of a 14 day assignment
Seems odd a CalFire team is going. Is there state land threatened?
It’s in unified command.
Anyone have a link to the IAP?
Thanks, wasn’t up there earlier. Looks like the state has a pretty well established base camp now in Eureka to support this.
