Smoke showing on east side of drainage. Asking for jumpers and air support
Observing light smoke. Possibly 1/10th of an acre. FD at Poorman & Twisp River rd, looking south. Unsure of access requesting smokejumpers.

Any recent updates? Seems like the air traffic has paused.

I've noticed the pause too. Winds were a bit wild but hope they have calmed over there.

There's very little in the air right now. None that I can see are working this fire. They did hit it hard with retardant and water a few hours ago.

It looks like their main air attacks are going on at the Swawilla I Fire

It suddenly got very smoky here, seems to be from the west. Rolled in after lunch with gusty winds and now a fair amount of ash
