Wildland fire, TGU in the Manton area
Full wildland response with additional aircraft + 5 additional type 3’s, 3 more dozers, and 4 more crews 3 to 5 acres. Access problems…
They hit the one furthest out with at least two tanker drops early on. It just doesn’t seem to be quite ready to lay down yet.
EDIT: Scratch that. Camera locks up at 15:31, so can’t tell what the spots are doing. Inskip Hill does have it, but not nearly as good a view.
From Shingletown Cam

That cam’s down, unfortunately. Inskip is the only one on it at the moment. EDIT: now back up. Was down for 10 or so.
Looks like FIRIS is headed that way.
It’s working for me ….
Check the time stamp on the image.
Ya shingletown cam won’t work for me either
The Inskip cam portrays an entirely different picture than the Shingletown cam…
Snapshots taken moments apart indicated dramatic blowup of activity. Images contrast brought up to add definition to the hazy shots.
Kudos to the AA…had 4 S-2’s and 2 heavies ordered early.
Looks like it’s cranking. Not sure if kudos are in order, quite yet.
Wonder how the 10 year old burn will slow it, or not?
Regardless, AA ordered early and heavy, seeing the potential. I think there were several copters on the augmented response as well.
My thought as well. From everything I have seen, the fuel is still considerably smaller…but could it be all brush?
