Another VLAT ordered, with NO DIVERT due to structure threat.  Multiple spots outside the retardant line....

Folks, it's going to crap in a hurry unless the VLATs get back on scene.

Ground crews at risk (they're aware and taking action), fires making rapid runs in their direction(s).  Tankers being refueled, VLAT will return.

Going to be a crap shoot if they catch this one in real time...

===============================

Now estimated at 100 acres, one large spot outside the line, attacking now.  Fire is still active, making runs; visibility becoming an issue for the aircraft.

===================

VLAT on scene, spotting is an issue

Houses on Harris Road are evacuated, determined to be NOT defensible.  Sounds like they're going to be lost.

=========================


Harris Rd, off of Hwy 49, north of Awahnee.  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Harris+Rd,+Mariposa,+CA+95338/@37.4487343,-119.7555065,13z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x809699b1abd97e41:0x661cceee84d8a8e9

The voices show some stress, along with the number of divisions already in place, this one has significant room for growth.

If that's the road I think it is, near vertical in spots, it'll be a dozer and air show.

Command 4, Tac 8

====================================================


I heard a BUNCH Of units sent in from other agencies, I'm just starting to listen in on the actual fire.  Sounds like Awanah area, which is near Yosemite.

MULTIPLE strike teams are enroute, I'll advise when I have more.  The sheer number tells me 'it's going big' fast.

Harris Road is Division "Juliet", researching now.  http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/2278/web
