@Kellaarin
@MinuteMan - let us know what you are seeing from your vantage point sir. Thank you! Smoke looks a bit better from the various cams but that could be deceiving....

I am in Oregon live in arrowbear how close is it to us thank you and god bless

It's got the entire Arctic Circle and Keller's Peak in between the fire and Big Bear, though. That lowers the danger considerably. Smoke could be bad.

c130 excellent and i see a DC-10 also

My USAFR unit out of March AFB had skid mounted retardant set ups for our C-130's until they changed our mission to C141's.

They will be dipping helicopters out of various places and then using SBD Tanker Base for the Tankers. The Edge of the Fire is looking like its 9 or 10 miles South West of the Big Bear Dam (estimated)

Where do they get their water from for this fire? Since I don't do 330 how far is it from Big Bear ?

EC-130 is one of the HEAVY's on this fire..... We have more of those available this year thank god!

is that a Mars flying boat from paris? Nice. Go get um boys.

Little to none Quakes --- The fire is moving North North East and Arrowhead is quite a ways North North West. It would have to do some crazy things to get up there.

Quakes just keep alert and informed. You will be ok.
