Re: [californiadisasters] Wildland fire:SLU: Cottonwood Inc.: (Santa Barbara Co)

The BLM Bakersfield office contracts out their firefighting needs to CalFire for the areas west of I-5 and east of US-101.

Sunday's NICC incident report is calling this the Cotton Fire.

Report (which is at best last night's info) puts it at 900 and charges it to
the Central California District (CND) of the BLM. Probably CalFire/SLU is
calling it Cottonwood in their comms and reports (SouthOps reports are only
current to 5/14).

We should keep it "Cottonwood" here, since that's what we've been using.

(For newbies: When a fire is on federal land and on state land--not
uncommon, Both CalFire and the Feds will manage and report. They're working
together--"unified command", but they each focus on their area, i.e. Fed
resources mostly on the federal land, CalFire mostly on the state land, both
cooperating also with mutual aid resources.)

Renamed again to our desired standard informative header format. It's still
a new concept, but we can adapt. A proper header can lower questions (where
is this fire?) and allow some readers to ignore it if not within their
interest.

Also pl;ease trim your posts when you can.

And we're off the races folks, just like we mentioned here the other day.
Grasses dry first, then the ten hour, then the 100 hour etc.
