TUU seems to have a lighting complex in the unit. I don’t’ have a location yet.
Running CDF Cmd 1
TUU, SNF ans SQF sending resources. Don’t hear an AA up yet.
Watching but not seeing smokes on cams in TUU:

I think I have the right info but I caught the traffic as follows on FKU frequency
IC placed an order for T78
2 WT
5 type 3s closest available
4 crews
Is this for the complex?
I believe it’s called the Dry Creek complex at least five ignitions so far
Some have FROS stopped but I missed which ones.
Didn’t catch which fire but E4190(ic) of his fire request 2 more engines one crew, his fire is 25-30 acres making it close to the ridge.
ST of 3s coming from Fresno co op area.
4 crews from TUU including mountain home
Inversion smoke cap showing on rocky hill 1

AA 504 enroute. 2 type one copters soon to be enroute and 1 additional S2 tanker request.
Sparrow IC reporting FROS stopped. Approx acreage: 1/4
Additionally 3 more Type 3 and 2 more WT to make a TF
There’s also a bunch of additional chatter that I didn’t catch when I walked out of the room. Vaguely recall one of the fires being 80 acres on an update. Anyone got anything for sure?
Is this being ran on TUU or FKU?
Believe it is it’s Tulare incident, but I’m catching a lot of the traffic on FKU
Requesting 2 additional tankers for a total of 5.
It’s on Watch Duty now:
Sparrow Fire: Contained at 0.25 acres
Crane Fire: 25-30 acres
Quail Fire: 30 acres
Raven Fire: Contained at 2 acres
All cams are currently pointed at the Hawk fire. This is the larger of all the fires and has some potential.

CMD: CDF CMD 1
Aircraft assigned: AA504, B77, T76, T78, T03, T15, T160
Rotor wing: HT-8PJ, HT-95B
Requesting 2 additional type 1 helicopters and taking the offer from south ops for the VLAT
These all appear to be along Dry Creek between Lemon Cove and Stagecoach Road in Badger.
Did it get ordered by AA? If so, it’s amazing how long it takes from order to in the air
So many unknowns here. When does their duty day start? Were they they early uped? When exactly was the pic taken. Looks like they are dipping…first dip? Probably flew to this location to dip, not near their base? Many unknowns.
The sky crane (helitanker)is based out of Millerton Lake.
