Night ops delta just ordered more firing supplies to be delivered ASAP to station 11 on Foresthill Rd which is above town near Bath Rd. Guessing there will be more firing near Chicken Hawk Rd to keep up with the fire spread on that flank

Branch 20 reported that a Georgetown PUD rep is saying their canal has been compromised and something about the Divide. . . (Transmission was cutoff) this may be the raw water source for the treatment plants?? which will certainly be an issue for hydrants and customers on the Divide.

It appears the rep was referring to the irrigation canal. There’s a series of canals and ditches which run from Stumpy meadows through the Georgetown divide area. There is one on my place, and it’s barely trickling right now.
