Releasing the tankers

Started by a solo vehicle rollover with fire, all occupants got out. Forward spread stopped by some good rock shelf at the head, kept in check by 36 on the east, around hog lake, and then some line on the west side. Good tanker drops across the head and left flank and a skycrane helped drop some Sac river water on the thick of it. Good stop!
