The end of Part 6 gives a very good perspective of what the fire looks like near AO & what our firefighters are dealing with.

At one point, while he is sitting along the side of the road, the search helicopter that is looking for the missing firefighter goes over.

Again, he makes some erroneous statements about the fire’s activity, where rumors can be started and spread. He even makes a statement near the end how he thinks, “...they would be evacuating Big Bear.

NOOOOOO - HE IS SO WRONG MAKING A STATEMENT LIKE THAT!!!

I stopped watching it there since it was almost over...

Anyway, this could be a source of misinformation.

If you want to get the most out of the Redlands Buzz videos, watch on mute. Footage is good, commentary is clueless.

Thank you for sharing those links SilentSky!

Per Scanner, the ground troops are doing a great job picking up these spot fires that have been popping up. They have a lot of resources out there and they are kicking butt!

Here are links to Redlands Buzz’s videos that were live earlier, Part 5 & Part 6. Even though he talks about the fire crossing the 38, if one watches the end of Part 6, from what I could tell, the fire is all to the south of the 38. Yet at the end of the video he is still talking about it crossing, but I could not see that it did. I believe it ended about 10:00 pm. Take a look for yourself, fast forward Part 6 to where he stops along the side of the road, watch a bit, then fast foward to where he starts to drive again. He ends at The Oaks Restaurant pull out area.

As it was mentioned before, hot spots are to be expected. We don't need to be fanning the flames in the chat box!

@scm
To be fair the scanner has said there is a couple established spot fires right now but nothing significant from what the scanner is saying.

Ya, I am not sure what perspective or assumptions that person is using but some of it directly conflicts with what is being said by Air Attack on the El Dorado scanner. I will take the live scanner over random sources.

@marty
Yeah I just noticed that. Thought I've been following him longer than that. Lol 😆

socalairoperations has only been on twitter since June 2020

Helicopters are there for the search and rescue only, confirmed.

Yeah it's odd because chp and sheriff's helo's were called in to search for the missing fireman, they had to trade out due to fuel. He's still over the S&R location, but okee.

@mountain
He's not official he listens to the scanners & other sources likely. Just some random individual lol.

From what I can tell from the scanner they have multiple established spot fires on northern side but containment lines mainly holding.

Conq, is he that an individual twitter account? They make it seem like it's some sort of official twitter account of Southern California Air Operations.
