#CalFire aircraft called in for the #DomenigoniFire across the street from the Western Science Center #museum, including a #C130, an #S2T, an #S70, and an #OV10 spotter. Fire at 62 acres, but seems mostly under control now. #planespotting #brushfire

The other large air tanker based at MCC fire base is T210…she has been fighting the #whittlefire and she is headed back to the retardant pits. This 737 was formerly in the Southwest Airlines passenger fleet. Converted by Coulson Aviation Australia for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service this “fireliner” has had various roles supporting efforts for the Forest Service (USFS)…this year #Calfire contracted her for 90 days as no other airtankers were left available for #fireseason2023 #avgeek

The Very Large Airtankers or the DC-10s with a 9000gal payload…or their nickname “VLAT” are not in California because CalFire’s current LAT contractors are keeping the lid on fire containment with the #CalFire fleet of small tankers…VLAT 910 and VLAT 914 are in Phoenix with the large fires in #AZ #azwildfire…VLAT 912 is in the Pacific Northwest on the tarmac in Washington…VLAT 911 is in Colorado Springs…they can be in the air in a moments notice. #avgeek #wildfire #dc10lovers

As #fireseason2023 takes off in #California this is a great announcement about FIRIS …here’s the story…Under the leadership of OCFireAuthority, the #FIRIS program has provided real-time intel to ground crews responding to the 2022 #wildfires. #Californiawildfire
In 2023 and going forward, FIRIS will be jointly operated by #CalOES & #CALFIRE through the state's Fire & Rescue Mutual Aid System on all-hazards incidents. #wildfire #avgeek

#CalFire is busy with training and prep for the #fireseason2023 Here is a video of the two-person, 500-foot progressive hoselay applies a continuous wet line to a simulated fireline, using wildland firefighting equipment and basic verbal communication techniques. This shows a section of it from CalFire’s rehire academy this week.

Just put up an automated bot to post anything the CalOES/CALFIRE FIRIS program posts (although, for some reason the video is not coming through -- linking instead to a copy of the post). @FIRIS_bot #FIRIS #CALFIRE #CalOES #California #weather
