I was on the Camp fire day 1, I have 4 of my aircraft on it now. No night drops, and fatigue is not an issue as we are down to 10 hour days due to lack of daylight---we normally do 14 hour days. Most days have been no fly days due to visibility anyway.

Command and control was a mess on day 1 & 2 as it moved so fast and then in came CHP and decided to freelance rescues with out talking to Air Attack supervisor....a lot of political wrangling going on.... More to follow....
