    On the fireline in Eastern WA.

    The west is a mess in this regard, critical firefighting resources in short supply or tapped out. Hope the air tankers don't run short on fuel.
    Unless there's a substantial break in the weather, likely gonna be like this till...
    October?

    You would think with all the fires on the west cost the last few years they would up the funding for fire fightes.

    Northern MN isnt on fire... yet, but it's a dry tinderbox. But the smoke is thick from the fires out west and in Canada that it's like a foggy day and smells like a campfire. I can't even imagine how big those fires are out there that it makes it that smokey all of the way to MN. Be careful and good luck. Thanks for doing all you can!
     
    There is a 30% chance that we may get some moisture Sun-Mon. The problem with that after hot temperatures is potential thunderstorms. @Spock sincerely hope that your fire gets more resources and air support.

    I had 11- 20 person crews ordered for our incident and eventually got 2, but it took several days. No mid management available.

    One of the air tanker refill bases close by (Coeur d'Alene ) ran out of fuel so they had to divert the air tankers to another base for fuel.

    Im of the concern some of our resident communists are setting this shit.

    Sure bad management by tree huggers is part of the problem but it seems that someone is of the belief, same as our WWII enemies, that a good way to hurt USA is to make its natural resources ash.
     
    What they said above, be careful, stay safe, and go on home to momma when your done. Thanks for your work.
