There was a radio message from dispatch enumerating the people and equipment on the way. Trucks, crews, dozers, water tanker trucks, etc. They mentioned that the order for overhead hasn't been filled yet. They used the same term in the '80s when I was on fire crew. I always found it amusing that the management team for big fires is explicitly called overhead.

There's already mandatory evacuation for one zone. Like a lot of western states, Oregon is split up into fire evacuation zones. If you live in any sort of rural area you try to remember your zone. There are apps that will notify you when your zone has an evacuation order and let you monitor fires. One of the uses for apps that I approve of.
