Deer Fire (El Dorado Co)

[BirkenVogt]

Been listening to this Deer fire this afternoon. It's a long way from me though.

CDF Command 1 151.355
CDF Tac 8 151.370
CDF Tac 9 151.385
I think maybe Tac 2 151.160
Air Tactics 4 151.280

Also listen on AEU Local net 151.190
El Dorado Command 154.430

That ought to cover it today, if anybody closer has a handle on it maybe they can offer more.

I think someone in East Sacramento County might have called in a fire. At work, I heard on my scanner that Metro Fire units were dispatched out to a grass fire and then heard the one of the units responding to the call, was monitored the VHF radio installed in our rigs and found that it was out of our county.

But, the dispatch for that area was requesting for extra support.

Must have been large. When I left work (Hurley & Howe, next to Cal Expo) at 1700 hours, I saw a huge column of smoke from the east, so I am assuming that would be the fire you wrote about.

That's the one, still going as of this morning.

Also listen to 151.22 CDF Air-Ground

The smoke column was visible yesterday afternoon (Thursday) on the cam at http://www.edhweather.com/. I don't see it now.
