Being at PL5 and Staffing Pattern C, you would think that everyone that can fight fire would be out fighting fire, not watching this page like a bunch of retired folks like we are! Lots of experience sits in here and I too am surprised that people question that experience when answers are given. You may not like something that is said here, but “ it is just the way it is”.

The Sacramento County OES Type 1 Strike Team got some good TV coverage as they formed up
I’ll second that amen! This space mirror’s society currently where the old timers with history and knowledge are frowned upon by the young pups who are full of vinegar but know very little. A word to the wise to the young pups, ears open, mouth’s closed! You’ll learn more and just might save yourself or other’s when the stuff hits the fan.

Everything I’ve learned has been from listening to war stories and asking questions to old Captains, Supts and Chiefs like my father. With that said, I have a slide show too. Round table is always good but I agree…listen to the ol’ boots who have great lessons learned. I wish we would take more AD in OP’s on teams. Great local factors knowledge!

I have seen N7095B near the Henry, but it keeps disapearing. Nothing else here on the STF. But I hear planes and Heli flying over. Is there a proplem with flight radar?
Flightradar tends to loose track of aircraft when they’re at a lower altitude behind mountains, unless the aircraft icon is blue then it is being tracked by GPS.

Have they posted the IAP anywhere?

Flight Radar is run by a network of volunteers feeding info. Just like the online scanners. If people in poor coverage areas for either have a decent network connection and a decent signal location, they can step up to fill the gaps. I know almost nothing about the details, but can point you towards people who do.
Now back to our regularly scheduled fire.

It was fine yesterday… oh well
Thank you to everyone who has gained their own personal stake in this game, but lost the situational awareness for those that are on their way to this incident, bitching about jurisdiction….really, like “Supe said put the fire out that in front of you”…let’s worry about who’s first it is later, seeing as how we aren’t the bean counters

I would have to check the rules again for this page, but I think I clearly read, that in fact, bean counters are welcome here also.

Of course, bean counters are welcome
Any chance the thunderstorm dropped a tremendous amount of rain?
