That was aircraft order #8.  Multiple Type I aircraft ordered, sounds like about 5 copters too, plus some medium tankers.

YNP Valley won't be a quiet peaceful place today.  :o(  Not sure where the copters can get water, other than the lakes in Tuolumne Meadow area.

That's part of MY backyard, knock that crap off!

Confirmed, Meadow fire IS YNP near Half Dome.

More aircraft dispatches as I write.

New fire, Half Dome in Yosemite Nat'l Park.

SCU (Morgan Hill) copter dispatched.

Not a tremendous amount to burn there (at or above timber line) but a VERY odd place for a start without lightning.

I'm also hearing traffic for the "Meadow" fire, might be the same fire (was a copter)
