Fire brigade officials who work the green fire brigade in the Shasta -Trinity National Forest northeast of Rescue, announced that they use two “Super Scooper” aircraft to drop water and extinguish flames.
The American forest service also said that a firefighter suffered from heat -related illness and was taken by a fire fighting boat, which has a medic on board, to a waiting ambulance so that they could get more medical care.
From Sunday, the size of the Growing Fire was mapped on 10,334 hectares from 9,563 on Saturday, fed by extreme heat and dry conditions at this time of the year in the region. A heat advice remained on Monday until 11 p.m. due to temperature heights that would vary from 95 degrees to 110 degrees in parts of the Sacramento valley.
Water scoop
The Super Scoopers was expected to put water from different arms of Lake Shasta Putten, but they need a mile open space to refill their tanks. Posters must go to the coast in order not to hinder fire fighting operations and to keep air crew safe, the forest service said in a statement.
For the first time since lightning encouraged the fire on July 1, the Forest Service Firefighters reported who built inclusions about 5% of the green fire. That's because in the south the flames reached the Pit River. Watercooters, including those who wore the bad firefighter for medical treatment, were in that area and secured lines of defenses along a part of the river, said the Forest Service. From those boats it was expected to continue the oppression efforts along the river.
Almost 1,200 fire -personnel are assigned to the fire. In addition to the two air ships, nine helicopters, 26 bulldozers, 56 engines, 16 hotshot crews and 10 other crews against the fire are fighting. The Forest Service also has 15 ambulances that are organized throughout the area to respond to and support firefighters.
