FLM 07 - ASSIGNED - WHISKEY FIRE, MNF

Good afternoon

Whiskey, Mendocino NF. IMT 2 (Kaage). Five miles northwest of Paskenta, CA. Chaparral. Moderate rates of
spread with upslope runs, group torching and long-range spotting. Residences threatened.

The crews are making good progress with containment efforts. The fire seems to be laying down and cooling off. If the winds stay calm, this fire should be contained soon.

We have had no significant injuries. Poison Oak is bothering some folks.



Dj and James taking in a little smoke.


Stay Safe.

Ps. Toaka says...."Did I hear smoke???...hmmm...smoked salmon? smoked bacon?....I'M NOT PICKY!!!!!"

Typical Medic!!!!
Went to wildfire with a cowboy hat on. DJ maybe you should stay in camp and review your 10 & 18 and the required PPE portion of the fireline handbook.

P.S. - Is my cot set up yet? I feel like I need a safety nap.
