In excess of 300 homes at risk, losses are probable and imminent, fire is still VERY active; 2 VLAT, 5 AT, 5 copters in use; no number on engines, tenders, overhead.
Adding more tac channels, that'll make it harder to hear from here (low level, a LONG ways from here).
And the Nook keeps dropping the connection, frustrating (have two scanners and another 2 more channels, about as much as I can manage right now). ;o)
I'm trying to decide if the Nook HD+ OS is as dumb as Siri... close call.

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
