Hand line has been completed around the fire, and firefighters are mopping up per incident command. The fire's size has been revised to 1.5 acres.
I doubt I'll hear anything more on the #DinkeyFire until my parents drive up to Trails End at the far end of the campground to check it out.
Wildcat is reporting the fire as 100% contained.
The #DinkeyFire is being reported as 1.5 acres.
It'll be interesting to go up and check out the burned area the next time I visit my parents.
The Huey is heading back to its base.
Looks like they're wrapping it up for the night.
The Bronco spotter plane is heading in the direction of Fresno Air Terminal.
Hand line completed around the fire.
Mop-up in progress.
Looks like the #DinkeyFire will live up to its name.
The chinook and the other blackhawk are returning to their respective bases (I think Fresno and Millerton).
The spotter plane is still up and about.
The Huey is coming back up from Fresno. It must have refuled.

One of the Blackhawks is heading off the fire. Looks like the one that came from Mariposa. They did a couple of drops and are going back to the helibase.
One blackhawk and chinook are left with the Bronco spotter on the fire.
The Huey is heading off the fire. It probably is out of fuel. And it's getting towards dark so that's probably it for that helicopter today.

Firefighters are on scene of an approximately 3/4 acre vegetation fire in the area with some spotting at the head per incident command.
I see another tanker coming out of Porterville. And another spotter (a Bronco). I wonder if it's for the #DinkeyFire or a different fire.
Air Attack is trying to order another Type 1 but they don't know if they'll be able to get one this late in the day.
The Fresno Air Attack has some interesting traffic: https://www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/38264
There's a Bell, a Chinook, a Bronco, and a MD-87 all working the fire now.
The radio traffic says it's 3/4 of an acre.
It's being called the #DinkeyFire on the radio.
