Tankers made line across the head and turned down the right shoulder. Copters working the left flank to the head. AA placed load and hold on tankers.
Per AA transition @ 1700, 2 dozers working with crews and copters, left flank nearing the head (direct). Continue direct line construction after turning left flank to head. Other incoming resources will construct direct line on right flank.
5 copters in total still dropping left flank.
Left flank is a struggle to keep fire from chewing through retardant.

AA requesting tanker 78 to fire for fallen snag along line is a concern in addition to the copters.

Ground crews have not required any aircraft during active mop-up today. Nothing exciting to report. Comms are routine.
