There is a spot fire in the gore point at Briggs and Highway 126. It jumped the over pass and is on both sides. Calling it the Briggs incident. Unit asking for 2 additional type 1s and a WT.
The IC and ops are talking about making it part of Cornell incident

AA saying fire behavior has moderated due to lack of fuel, still some things smoldering in the fields. Still active fire at Briggs and Highway 126, with rotorcraft working it, and engines on scene.
Putting tankers on load and hold
AA calling it 65-70 acres.

Watching tanker drops, there was almost 3 wingspans of drift anyway. Drops were ending up in the middle of green ag fields

It should run out of fuel soon. The river bed gets sparse as it moves west.
