Q/A
Marty: Hetch Hetchy? Let fire burn down to water??? No logical control point to cut fire off. They’ll let it burn itself out. It is a different jurisdiction also.
drones: effective? VERY. picked up some hot spots as they were occurring.
TH - dinner for Eproson park - for fire fighters tonight.
Work going on in Sierra Park for refueling - portable mixing plant --- retardant mixing base. For Sikorsky copters to pick up and dump on fire.
SCOTT-- North Tuolumne Rd, except for Ponderosa Hills, is open. Tuolumne City open to residents and crews only.
Successful burn out near Tuolumne City - smoke generation will pick up as they ‘burn out’
fire is no closer since yesterday.
We will meet again tomorrow. 4 pm Word of Life.
This will probably be the last briefing at Word of Life. Briefings will most likely return to the Mi Wuk / Sugar Pine fire station.
