Pepper Incident starts up in Redding and threatens multiple structures as all the area resources are consumed for the Lowden Incident up near Lewiston.

Just as we cross over the bridge Tanker 74 buzzes on scene as the first aircraft overhead. It was enroute to the Lowden fire and re-directed itself to the Pepper fire after seeing multiple structures threatened. Here 74 unleashes its load behind the Peppertree Apartments. It's kind of a free-for-all right now as Redding is scrambling for resources. The air tanker acts as a sort of Air Attack patrol until Air Attack 240 arrives on scene later. |
