Believe I heard AA07 and Heavy Tanker 132 lift off Fresno ATB (California) for Durango Tanker base, refuel then to the Barn roof fire 3.5NM NW of Durango CO. 2 hour ETA.
Not showing on Inciweb. Found intel on Pueblo Interagency Wildcad’s in CO.
Looks like it started yesterday in La Plata County??
Found in local news, Barn Roof fire, 8 ac burning in Perkins Peak State wildlife area. It started late Friday. Also a 2nd fire burning the Willows fire, 30 acres in Montezuma County
I live a few miles away from this fire and first saw smoke on Friday. Yes you are correct the aircraft arrived on Friday, according to Rocky Mt Area Tactical Aircraft Report.
Update as of this morning, 10ac, 15% contained, hand line 60% around the fire. The Durango Herald has not done a very good job of keeping the public informed of this fire. Currently there are no evacs or pre-evac for this fire. LaPlata County has been socked in with smoke for a few days now. The SJF has several fires burning, from .10-30ac.
