With CAL FIRE crew numbers so low, you would think it would be better to order just single crews.

Looks like it’s got some giddy-up.

Blues is RailRoad grade.
Yellow circles I believe are the
“Prison crew pizza slice training cuts” he referenced to try to tie into the RR 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”

They have two campers 1/2 mile up Jackass creek they extricated so that issue have been mitigated.

Incredibly rough estimate, just based off listening to scanner logistics.
Google earth called my shape 1,683 acres. But it is very rough.
Big jackass creek runs E-W just south of fire.
Rattlesnake Creek branches from Big Jackass creek north into the fire.

I’m getting out of the scanner loop because TCU Broadcastify channel stays on dispatch and IA channels…
But reports of spotting across Big Jackass and running along the ridge.
Expanded evacs to include Boneyard on highway 132, and highway 120 east to second garrote including Cherokee trail and Yosemite springs.

The Sacramento Regional IMT ( a type 3 IMT) has been mobilized to this incident, reporting this morning. This may be a sign of where the state is now with IMT availability or the unit hopes to pick it up in the next couple of days, and only needs logistics and plans support. Time will tell.
