H305 on the ground, Prado.

Response broken, could not understand.

Also, Helicopter 305 is being released form the incident. - Copy, released from the incident entirely, or for the day?

Bat33 is clear and returning from the Gorgonio incident.

AA12 has been released by Gorgonio IC - heading back to San Bernardino base; IC will inform regarding Helicopter 305 commitment time; {Dispatch} just for advisement, Tanker 55 from San Bernardino Base has been requested for the Lake fire by Perris Dispatch {out of area fire}

H305 has lifted off Big Bear and back enroute to you

approximately 1 acre; Crew 4, H305 are still on scene

{170.000} Helicopter 305 will be back in about 20 minutes; there's a tree stump down there that's pretty hot, putting up a lot of smoke; the hottest spot is down at the bottom there; Crew 4 you're about 3/4 of the way in

going in to Big Bear for a load of fuel; getting a north smoke out of it; big stump at the heel of the fire putting up all that smoke; it's not going up any tree or anything like that

{Transcriber note: this incident has become next to silent on scanners; could be on frequency 168.200 now and out of range for RS transcriber. Will continue to monitor.}

We're going to unload the crew over here just west of Poopout Hill

{Air to Ground 170.000 scratchy - sounded like H305 talking with Crew 4} very little forward rate of spread; no aerial fuels; big tree on the ground near the campfire; smoke making it hard to see; don't see any fire {} forward {}; do expect you'll need to do some saw work

Helicopter 305 is on scene

{Dispatch 171.4750} host at Jenks Lake has been notified; {Bat33} advise the forest supervisor that we're dropping water in the forest land and once the crew gets in there I anticipate a little saw work as well

H305 may drop off the crew in a little meadow near Poopout Hill there.

per Chief 3 ok with pilot's discretion

Check with Chief 3, ok with pilot discretion on that?

Heartbar Meadow has not been mowed and is not staffed right now; ok to use Converse as helispot?; {Bat33} we can use the helispot at Angelus Oaks

{170.000 air to ground} with helicopter drops I think 1 crew can handle this

{on 170.000 - scratchy} walk will be about 30 to 40 minutes for crew; water drops will hold this thing in check until we get ground troops in there; looks like we won't need to land in the wilderness; {Bat33} Crew 4 to walk in, Crew 1 coming; crew 4 can make determination if additional is needed

Use Heartbar Station for the fuel tender {for Helicopter 305}; Jenks Lake for the water source

H305 lifted; ETA 13:34

Go ahead and start in; yourself and one of your captains as the IC; keep Crew 1 coming until we see if you can handle by yourselves or if you need Crew 1 to come on in

{Div 108 and 133? discussion} Down off the drainage off Poopout Hill; in some heavy fuels in the drainage putting up some heavy smoke; shot crews are about 15 minutes out; getting helicopter drops in there

1/8 acre, no real rate of spread; confined to ground fuels, a little flame visible on fire; helicopter in to knock that down it will take care of it; pretty smoky, heavy ground fuels; get a crew of hotshots in and the helicopter in and that should take care of it

make the notifications to Jenks Lake folks that we'll be using the lake for helicopter operations in the next 30 or so

Size up from the trailhead? {Crew 4} We're enroute; probably be there in about 15

Guess as far as walk in time? {reply} 40 minutes maybe

Tree in the road; it is passable, but don't know about if by an engine

Bat12 to Patrol 17 - What is best access? {Patrol 17} Hwy 38 to Jenks Lake West; take the old Poopout Hill Road, normally gated; I have that opened and you can gain access that way

Jenks Lake will be the best water source; Dry Lake is dry; southwest of Heartbar Meadows; puts it between Dry Lake and Dollar Lake; Poopout is the closest trailhead for ground troops; there is a meadow that we can helicopter people in, 1/4 mile down canyon hike to get in via ground

Can we get helicopter 535 on this and get some water drops out of them?

fire is slow moving at this time; ground {}; AA12 is the Gorgonio Air Attack

Have your (Bat33) engines stage at Poopout Hill for right now; {Bat33} cancel the county response for now; name it the Gorgonio Fire {Bat33} How many helicopters are enroute {Dispatch} no helicopters launched; 305 from Prado will be closest; Perris is running a fire now themselves; 554 and 535 are committed to the Clover fire {unknown reply, possibly AA12?} Don't want to put retardant in there with the stream flowing; get 305 launched to get water drops {Dispatch} Start helicopter 305

General geographic? Right in the middle of the wilderness; {Dispatch} Tankers needed? Name on this? {AA12} Start one air tanker; we can get enough retardant on there; looks like between Section 26 or 35 in between Dollar Lake and Dry Lake there on the South Fork Trail; {17} Call it the Dollar Fire if you want

1/8 to 1/4 acre; looks like it originated out of a campfire next to a log and some heavy fuels on the ground; on the ground only now; no aerial fuels; north aspect in a drainage bottom; trying to determine which drainage this is

general geographic area?; {AA12} getting my bearings and determining which mountain I am north of here

we're going to drop down low enough to get you a size up and will get right back with you

lat/long - 34 08.054 x 116 50.606

Sounds like it's going to be in the South Fork Meadow area.

start additional air tankers out of the tanker base if you'd like

First alarm is 2 engines

start a first alarm

South Fork Meadows area? {Dispatch} AA12 is getting confirmation from 40K and getting a lat long for us

Horse Thief(?) Meadows area; 40K is over it; we'll get you a lat/long and get a precise location for it

we've stumbled upon the fire we're looking for; will contact Fire

Move Eng92 into Station 49 for coverage

Air to Ground: 170.000; Command on 171.4750; NIFC Tac 2 for tactics

We have lots of haze in the area today.

{Note: RS Transcriber: Coon Creek Jumpoff is lat/long 34.147232, -116.711965; Poopout Hill is lat/long 34.148066,-116.855304}

Several locations - we've gotten Bertha Peak, San G wilderness near Coon Creek, Poopout Hill area; no other aircraft; checking with 40K is in the area {AA12} just got off the air with 40K, he will be in the area

Air Attack 12 is off the ground enroute; 4-1/2 hours fuel; 20 miles 075 degrees; ETA 8 minutes

Smoke check in the area of Coon Creek; several reports between Poopout ot Coon Creek area

Bat133 responding

we're getting reports all the way from Poopout Hill to Coon Creek; we're getting air attack up to take a look

Coon Creek Jumpoff Area; FS sending a response; with E292 if available
