The town of Foresthill is now under an evacuation warning. Never seems like a good sign when your evacuation center is placed under an evac warning. Likewise for the ICP.

Agreed. Believe it’s time to move the evac center to Auburn

Sounds like a possible UAS mission in the offing?

Very early in this incident, near dark, one of the helicopter crews could not be picked up due to turbulence, shortly thereafter this thing blew up. Does anyone know the status of that crew?

Cool Community Church, 863 Cave Valley Rd is open as evac center on Eldorado side.

Also heard that they are staging some incoming resources on PCWA property, at the oldmill site in Foresthill. This is the usual ICP for TNF fires in this area. IE Ralston, American and the last days of the 2014 King fire

Looks like we may have just had a mapping flight of the fire (N57B - INTEL12?), hopefully updated acreage and perimeter are available ASAP.

Update: Looks like the data is available, here’s a link to a map:

Hopefully the dozers are able to cut a few blades wide along both ridges flanking Volcano canyon in the near term to give crews some opportunities to establish anchor points before the sun gets on it.

Isn’t this a FED fire? What is this T3 team you speak of?
