Fire: Santa Cruz Mountains, Watch Real Time

 
ALERT: Google searchers landing here may be looking for coverage of the Summit Fire burning in the Santa Cruz Mountains near Corallitos......

CDF/Cal Fire is responding to a fire above Los Gatos in the South Bay and you can follow the incident from a distance via this webcam situated on Mt. Hamilton across the valley.

I was watching this smoke plume before the contributors at WildlandFire.com started this thread following the initial attack information.

The IC upon size up asked for Tanker 910.

"IC requested air tanker 910, st of cdf engines for structure protection , Santa Clara County E-1,7,and Saratoga E-30 staged on Montabello for structure protection County brush patrols at incident."

Dispatch honored his request and according to another poster the tanker arrived on scene at 14:40 hours, two hours after the request.

This is one to watch as early projections place the potential at 3,000 acres. Additional resources from throughout the Bay Area including OES engines for structure protection have been ordered.
