Couldn’t make out all of the aircraft request for tomorrow but I know several multi-engine airtankers, at least one type 1 airtanker, multiple type one helicopters all ready to fly at 8am.
I know I missed some. (Airtac at 8:00am as well)

I won’t bs you, id personally say good but I honestly couldn’t tell you.. I don’t work for the state but it would not surprise however I know TCU is a very aggressive unit when it comes to fighting fire.

It’s the 2nd IWI so far… unfortunately. However I don’t think it’s my place to really mention any specifics.

I do believe there was a dozer roll over as well if this is what you’re speaking about. Sounds like the operator was able to get out.

One of the biggest thing that usually drives a team order is the need for Plans, Logs and Finance support. I don’t have any idea what depth TCU has. SacMetro has a Type 3 team that gets used quit a bit.

This thing has gotten in full alignment with the terrain and has gone absolutely nuclear after sundown. Bad times ahead for this monster…

Holy snipes. Watching that progression on the Upper Bear 1 cam gives me chills. Praying for everyone’s safety on this nuke of a fire…

TCU has a solid group including lots of IMT members plus they have a Type 3 team with Stanislaus County. However, this thing keeps going into the next burn period or threatens towns the sheer number of resources would likely necessitate a Type 1 IMT.
