Probably pushing 800 acres per VNC. trying to pick up the fingers with the copters heal is picking up but looking good dozers have tied in line on the south want to tie the line in southwest with the dozers looking for an area on the west side of the fire to put the dozers in. Advising that they should place night ops orders soon.

Main section of open line on the northside of the fire going to work to tie it back into the ridge. Lots of direct line around this thing trying to use night helos to get as much retardant around the structures. want to set up for success tomorrow dozer 13 and 12 working on the open line fire may head up the ridge from the river bottom fires slowed in the flats. but still moving.

dozer 12 and 13 have completed assignments will bed them down tonight so there available tomorrow. wondering when Dozer 14 will complete assignments. copters will work till time out and so a pilot swap unsure if they will continue to work or have them up in the morning AA will have tankers over the incident in the morning. Per division 3 they are good with what they have right now. new mandatory evacuation for Ranch road to the ridge line.

Sounds like the copters will work in and around the country club on the ridge to the south? as well as it sounds like defensive firing ops may be conducted.

Three QRF helitankers working in tandem will make a difference and become a ‘gee wiz’ moment of revelation for many!

“Last night the QRF fleet delivered over 50,000 Gallons of retardant on the #Southfire, below is a video of N40CU dropping an impressive 3000 gallons of retardant last night as taken from Copter 76, our HELCO and fire intelligence aircraft.
With our two crews we are able to work all day and all night, the fleet is already back at it this morning with the day crew!” -Coulson FB page
