great call by AA. understands span of controlā¦safety firstā¦
100% agree
Is that a high school the fire is headed towards?
Yes, Foresthill High ā Home of the Wildfires.
got the Iap/ maps?
So what is the āspan of controlā for a qualified and seasoned ATGS on a rapidly expanding incident? I wouldnāt post, on a public forum, that someone couldnāt handle a few more resources that are available and ready to use. Your feelings are a little to sensitive. Use EVERY resource available because it could go away in a second.
Agreed, Thereās a lot going on right now.
There are many mechanisms in place to deal with span of control: IPs, orbits in assigned quadrants, assigned altitudes, etc. Itās not rocket science.
Can yāall quit getting snippy for at least half a day in this thread!?!?
Thank you, time to focus on the fire, not opinions.
10-4 brushā¦this is a big fire with a lot of issuesā¦ground and airā¦have an issue, please feel free to start another topicā¦other wise please stay on topic
Donāt know the number but some crews came off the 24 this morning were dispatch to the Dutch and back to the Mosquito. Dutch was a great stop and looks like the Mosquito they are starting to get a handle on by Forest Hill. Kudos to those with little sleep and everyone busting their butts on both fires on the ground and air.
Looking out my office window at the station MCC looks more like JFKā¦impressive air show

1129 acres new growth from that run.
I was very impressed with both air and ground ops! I was surprised that some of the type 1ās didnāt use chico. Obviously not needed. Great job by all today!
