Default A New Fire This Evening

This evening we had another fire break out about 6 miles west of us.
The various fire attack tankers have been flying missions until they
lost light. It looks like the ground crews are going to be busy all
through the night.

They haven't reported on that yet, the investigation is still underway.
All anybody knows is it started ±16:00 on Saturday and they expect it
to gro to about 2,200 acres. There are about 100 homes in that area and
most of them are under a mandatory evacuation order. Also, there are
about 20 other homes which have been cut off by the fire, and those
residents have a "shelter in place" order as their access roads run
through the fire line.

I am monitoring the CalFire radio transmissions, and things have got
worse. They are bringing in more air attack tankers as a priority as
they now have some firefighters and residents cut off from evacuation,
and they are anticipating the loss of multiple structures (homes)
within minutes.

They have just requested an additional 3 attack helicopters. For now
they are flying 8 helicopters and 8 attack tankers including a DC-10, 2
x BAe-146, a DC-7, 4 x Grumman S-2T, 2 x Sikorsky S-6 "Skycranes", 1 x
Kaman "K-Max", and 5 UH-1H "Super Hueys". Add to those 2 x OV-10A for
tactical control.

What? If SD wants to make it easy for people to see his photos he needs
a Flickr account, that's what.

Why would I need a Flickr account when I have perfectly good Dropbox
and Adobe CC accounts.

tactical control.


As I said things got worse.

The fire has grown to over 4,000 acres. Those who had “sheltered in
place” because the access roads were impassable through the fire line
were ordered to evacuate by heading down to the lake shoreline to be
evacuated by boat.

So far a local boat clubhouse and 12 homes have burned and are lost.
250 residents have been evacuated and are being sheltered by the Red
Cross at a local school in Paso Robles.

The air attack base at Paso Robles airport had run low on premixed Fire
retardant by 16:00 hours and the tankers were split with half of them
having to fly South to Santa Maria to reload. That just made the
circuit trip time about 45+ minutes vs 20 minutes from Paso. They are
supposed to replenish the premix overnight.

They have added 3 Sikorsky S-61 and 2 Sikorsky S-70 “Firehawk”
helicopters to the attack. Fortunately the helicopters all load water
from the lake without fire retardant. They just fly back to Paso Robles
to refuel and pilot relief. One of the UH-1H Super Huey had to be
withdrawn as it had reached its maintenance limits and will be down for
36 hours.
