AA says he’s double the retardant on right flank. Buy some time for the Dozers. Sounds like the dozers are walking over that way. Also left flank looking good holding in the retardant and crews are making good progress on that flank. I thought he said 540 acres but not sure.

AA had two VLATS from MCC drop around 1930. Also was using the copters and S2’s till cut off. Heard three copters for tomorrow order. Fire was looking a lot better this evening. Still a lot off work to be done and lines to put in. For having 20 of it’s front line engines out of county. That was solid work by all involved. Damn good job! My worry is that eastside down by the lake hooking around and running up slope. That should have a good down canyon wind tonite. Maybe that will slow it down?
