Copter 404 was on that and Eng 4472. 404 just dispatched down towards Oakdale to Woodward Reservoir. Maybe they picked it up if the ship left. Been on a few fires in that area if they picked it up at two acres that was good work.
404 is still on this incident with 2 tankers. They are holding the Woodward fire response.
Air Attack 440 was dispatched for the Woodward, AA460 has the Avery at the moment, because 440 was heading to the Ventana in FKU when this incident started.
Copy, my hearing not like it used to be.
Lost me scanner feed are they making any headway on this fire?
Last I heard was it was in heavy fuel and having trouble getting personnel in, but had retardant around most of the head it sounded like.
per AA until ground resources are at scene going to keep flying retardant. Helicopter 530 is also coming on scene, has been prepositioned in the STF

Good job by Air Resources keeping that thing in check. Ground can follow up and secure. Thanks for the updates LTP. The STF and TCU dodged a bullet.
