Columbia Air Attack Base is unable to launch tankers due to "weather conditions." I assume that means it is smoked in?
Also, the fire is now up to 45,724 officially with 7% containment. However, an IR flight map from last night places it unofficially at 54,724. Could they have goofed and switched the 4 and 5? Fire is already moving out this morning. On Tue, Jul 18, 2017 at 8:03 PM, Kim Noyes <kimnoyes@gmail.com> wrote:
