I live about 2 miles from this incident and the smoke is all the way over here and almost too thick to see through!

Jordan, actually started about 2200hrs, see thunderstorm thread, then expanded into two seperate fires and thats when lots more mutual aid was requested and ops were spread between ch tac 3 and 4.

Batt Chief 32 from South Metro was also on scene as one sector command and at one point command requested brush trucks from DFD? Bennett and Rattlesnake were also there with brush trucks and I believe a tender.

Some FERN but never heard use a RED SW or a Mac Ch.

Isn't interoperability wonderful? I know of at least three attempts on that incident to get everyone on Red SE but.......
