Someone can come up with an IAP for frequencies for Command and Airops? That would be appreciated.
SQF ch.2 was command but, pretty void of comms.
No IAP’s online from these Teams. Or…in another folder not under the incident?

I have a request for the COML to give me a call so I can get the IAP and Comm Plan.

Winds from the NE for now, sending the smoke towards Pine Flat and California Hot Springs. NWS forecast has winds light from the SW in the area of the fire, and temps upper 70’s to near 80 and cooling as two troughs of low pressure move in this week. Fortunately, this area does not see significant daily air movement unless there is a change in pressure and hoping this helps suppression efforts.

2202 acres, 0% contained, and according to Inciweb, the fire in Peyrone Sequoia Grove was low intensity. Assessment of the grove not possible for a few days.

Watching the 6 hour timelapse from Tobias, it looks like the winds have pushed the east side of the fire well past Mule Peak lookout. Caltopo shows a 1336 flyby with heat in that area as well, but off a bit, showing heat on the Kern drainage side, but cams not supporting that data “if” I am reading it right.

Everything looks to be on the North to North West side of Mule Peak right now. It’s been running those drainages for a couple hours. But, I’m sure it will push through the saddle between Mule Peak and Onion Meadow Peak sometime soon.

Yeah, looks like it has run the Cedar Creek, Bear Creek and now Kessing Creek drainages. Active fire on the ridge in the notch between Onion Meadow Peak and Mule Peak on Tobias timelapse.

The “Windy” and the “Complex” are cooking and the chatter on here is pretty quiet. Any new intel on threats or resource needs?

Unfortunately nothing that I have found. Mod7 in post 45 stated he was reaching out to the COML for an IAP and Comms links but nothing posted yet. FTP server has only maps and IR files, no IAP and no 209’s.

SQF and the parks have always been a black hole for picking up anything from their radio comm network on a scanner.

I hope we don’t lose any of our Giant Sequoias. I realize they need fire to propagate their seedlings , But the steam on this column don’t look life creating.

@FireRx Looking at where the fire ran today, it was east of the Groves - I believe. The Cedar and Bear don’t have Giant Sequoias that I am aware of. SQF on their FB page stated that the fire that was on the ground in the Peyrone was low intensity. Red Hill has not seen activity - yet.
So, I think what we saw today was White Fir, Sugar Pine and brush burning towards Mule Peak etc.

Clear air over the fire. Fire being pushed back to the NE tonight. Looks like maybe into Windy Gap with the change in wind direction. Now, the Slate/Nelson compartment are an issue.
