Last year #CaliforniaWildFires Cal Fire’s Airtanker Reload Base at McClellan Park in Sacramento played a significant role in air attacks, MCC, as it is affectionately known by my #avgeek #wildfire friends. On this particular day, 12 Large & Very Large Airtankers were filled with 38 loads, including 195,119 gallons of retardant for the #MosquitoFire & 19,883 for the #DutchFire. Here’s the Timelapse vid of airtankers taxiing in/out of the retardant pits that day…#AvgeeksofMastodon

Now, PG&E motion #3-- they want to exclude evidence of other fires than the #ZoggFire and the other 3 smaller fires charged as reckless arsons in this manslaughter case.

They also sparked fires in the 1990's and a PG&E gas line caused the San Bruno explosion in 2010.
