Fire half a mile outside MNF boundary on Rd309. Sounds like MNF independently will start a response outside of the mutual aid engine they sent.

Chico tanker on a load and hold. Hearing MNF think TGU will wrap it up soon.

Yeah, the PGE wx station reporting north winds 9G17 is 2.8miles due south of incident at same elevation. This thing could have picked up and ran for a long ways. Great stop by all, at about 10 acres.
