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.

Lightning? What? 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. Not nice. 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. 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 One of the UH-1H Super Huey had to be withdrawn as it had reached its maintenance limits and will be down for 36 hours. The burned home count is up to 22, and they have 16 strike teams arriving from around the State and US National Forest Service. Typically each strike team has 5-6 fire engines and the crew to go with them. They have also brought in about 150 inmate fire fighters, 8 more "FireCAT" bulldozers with their service vehicles, and several additional water tenders. I just hope they get better containment of the fire today. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_222e.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |
