From what I understand from this thread at the wildland fire hotlist there was quite an airshow yestersterday afternoon with a few helos, five CAL FIRE S-2's (74, 78,76,81. 90) Two P-2s (T-5, T-44) and Neptune's BAe-146, T-41.

According the latest CAL FIRE incident report for the Grand Fire as of 10:53 PM PDT on May 15, the fire had burned 3,000 acres and was 10 percent contained.

There are media reports that the fire is burning near some power lines and that there are some evacuations for campgrounds in place.
