#FawnFire (#MountainGate, Shasta Co) - From the community meeting: 6,820 acres & 10% containment. 169 engines, 45 dozers, 35 handcrews & 29 water tenders assigned for a total of 1,663 personnel. 9,000 structures remain threatened.
#FawnFire - A damage inspection team from CAL FIRE is en-route & arrive tomorrow, as a result of that they should have updated structural damage/destroyed figures tomorrow. A priority today was mop up & patrol in Div Y on the S/W side, significant amount of structures there.
#FawnFire - As of this evening, they've had no reports of any additional structures burning today. Lots of good work has been done & those 9,000 structures that are threatened are now in a much better situation than earlier on, but a lot of work left to do.
#FawnFire (#MountainGate, Shasta Co) - Long update from Air Attack as they were departing about 20 ago: retardant is holding really well on the left flank between Bear Mountain Lookout & Bear Mountain Rd, the wind shift helped that side.
#FawnFire (#MountainGate, Shasta Co) - There is still some tree torching & potential on the ridge below Bear Mountain proper, but resources are there & doing good work. Right heel is bumping the retardant in Division B & may need resources in there.
#FawnFire (#MountainGate, Shasta Co) - Stated there is big potential @ the heel of the fire on the lake side, mentioned they obviously have the lake there but the concern is the steep country & potential for it to move out back & then to the east & come back around.
