TUU with full wildland response with additional resources from SNF
Working up more info…

SQF has this as the Park Incident.
AA over head request 6 air tankers.
Two engines on scene…waiting update
AA calling it Balch, dispatch ECC calling it Park, confusing ?
No correction from ECC over the air… OK NOW ITS PARK, confirmed
The Order

I think there was already a Balch incident this year, and they may have changed the name.
It’s confirmed, Park incident.
Two engines at scene and chief officer…no update of conditions from ground units…?
Units are responding to Balch County Park and Calfire thinks it maybe on FRA.
Further origin a combination of private, federal and state…to be determined later.
Evacuation of Balch Camp sites and closure of Bear Creek Rd and County Hwy J37.
