S-2 just flew by the house a few ago, on the way back from Donnell’s. Not hearing much about the fire. One thing I can tell you about that area from fishing it for years. The only thing flat is the surface of the lake. And that’s only a few hours a day because it gets plenty windy there.

Fire was below the dam north side of the river. LZ was about 1.5 miles from the fire. C 404, 517 and a ship from the Park(YNP). 5 or 6 acres. Crews cut line and worked the fire all day. Lot of bucket work from the ships and some drops from the S2.

Dbroso is spot on. It’s also a ways back in there and the road can be a rough and a mess. To put it in perspective there is a piece of ground near the fire called Hells Half Acre. I take it the Stan shots are on assignment so it was a good call to bring another shot crew in given where the fires at…
Possible firing op? Putting up a pretty good column right now

It needed to be burned. A lot of snow down, slash and debris down all over. It was looking trashy in some areas. Clean it up and get it looking healthy again. I was coming back from El Dorado hills and it was putting up a nice column. If that would of been below Donnell Dam that would of not been a good thing.

I was at calaveras three weeks ago for a meeting and they are picking away at it, hopefully someday they can burn the sections south of the highway.
