AA report on new start very broken but did copy 5 to 6 acres moderate potential for perhaps 30 or 40 Acres. Asked to keep the same air frequencies.
Air Attack request for new start is 3 tankers and 2 copters.
Red Bluff asking that new incident be run as Branch 5 of Lane Incident
Air Attack telling IC that the dozers beginning to get around and air assets doing well on the original incident. Branch 5 has a bit more potential.
Branch 5 request additional request 2 dozer and 4 crews.
High potential
Will likely come up out of the draw.
