This will be the camera once an operator turns it…
Tanker 76 back on load and hold, too high a risk because they can’t see s… Going in.
Evacuation is now mandatory.
Fires getting close to hitting Priest Coulterville RD.
IC at Moccasin/Powerhouse (but I can’t find that on the map).

SBC Dozer-22 enroute from re-assignment to the Carmel mid travel.
Blues is RailRoad grade.

Fire is coming from the left.
Yeah, sounds optimistic for sure.
Just heard “if we can get a few more resources we can probably get a in line down here”
“double original resource order, plus 10 DIVS, 4 Branch Dirs, 3 FOBS… still critical ROS” spotted into Rattlesnake creek… heading generally S toward coulterville area…"
They have two campers 1/2 mile up Jackass creek they extricated so that issue have been mitigated.
