AA requested copters 205 (acting helco it sounds like), 514, 0AA and 2AA (PGE UH-60’s), as well as 3 tankers and VLAT over the fire at 0905. Helibase is Manton Rd at Spring Branch Road.

The write up on that page is a bit old as iOS 11 devices (iphone, iPad) now need a 3rd party app to stream the mp3 audio instead of within the Safari Browser. I use the free and clean VLC app. Copy the stream URL http://216.68.233.15:8000/listen.pls into VLC Network Stream and it’ll play it nicely, and remember the stream for next time.

Not sure if pics will work or not. Speaking of terrain, this 3500ft hoselay gets tied into the highway after a final near vertical push up hill. Elevation gain was 450ft. This is a Calfire Engine out of HUU-Trinidad (sea level). Amazing strong work! The line held and is now cold.
