Wildfire in Paso and a second near Bradley

5:00 pm – units being released from Adelaide both due to forward rate stopped, and resources needed for a fire off the 101 near Bradley. No further at this time on the MoCo fire.

2:30 pm – a wildfire at Adelaide and Vineyard, on the west side of Paso, about a mile past the cemetery started a bit ago. Four air tankers have already checked in at the Paso Airport, and numerous engines are either there or on their way. Originally estimated at 5 acres, but just reported at 60. Here is a photo taken by the initial A/A. I will continue to follow this this afternoon, but I am having Internet issues. I have a great overhead shot of this fire, but unable to upload at this time. Will continue to try throughout the evening.

Seems to be shaping up to be a rough summer.

That Adelaida and Vineyard fire would be about 7 miles from here where I live. I have not noticed any air traffic.

  Cal, there were 4 tankers and one a/a on it, for a time. They are gone, now.

Good luck to all with safety and containment.
