As of now, OES has dispatched 130 state OES and local government engines to battle numerous stubborn blazes including the Emigrant Gap fire in the Tahoe National Forest near Interstate-80. At OES Headquarters, resource requests are being managed by the State Emergency Operations Center and the Inland Region Emergency Operations Center, which have been activated. Fire & Rescue, Law Enforcement, Telecommunication, and Operations staff of OES are all active in this effort at headquarters and in the field. Emigrant Gap Fire is one of more than seven Northern California fires being closely monitored by OES. Combined, the fires have burned approximately 107,000 acres. All fires combined bring the total OES-coordinated response to 26 fire engine strike teams working 107,000 acres (see chart for participating cities and counties) alongside other local, federal and state agencies. The local and state-owned equipment has been dispatched through California's Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System, administered by OES, to assist the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and federal wildland fire agencies, and local departments. The system is designed to ensure that additional resources are provided to local jurisdictions whenever their own resources are committed or insufficient for any fire or rescue operation. Each strike team consists of five fire engines - with three to four firefighters per engine - and one strike team leader per team. Four of the seven fires are being battled by local firefighters called to duty by OES under the Mutual Aid system: EMIGRANT GAP FIRE (20 miles west of Truckee in the Tahoe National Forest) 1 Strike Team of five OES engines from: Grass Valley Woodland Delta Fire Protection District in Rio Vista Folsom City of Sacramento 1 OES Satellite Communication Trailer 1 OES Satellite Unit 12 Strike Teams made up of 60 Local Government Engines from: 1 Calaveras County (5 engines) 1 Colusa and Yuba counties (5 engines) 1 Nevada County (5 engines) 2 Placer County (10 engines) 2 Tahoe Basin (10 engines from California and Nevada) 2 Sacramento County (10 engines) 1 San Joaquin County (5 engines) 1 Stanislaus County (5 engines) 1 El Dorado County (5 engines) MODOC COMPLEX FIRE (near Alturas) 2 Strike Teams made up of 10 Local Government Engines from: Alameda County Team (5 engines) Oakland Berkeley Alameda County Livermore Livermore Lab Sonoma County Team (5 engines) Cazadero Cloverdale Gold Ridge Coast Guard at Two Rock City of Sonoma BLUE FIRE (U.S. Highway 395 near Likely) 5 Strike Teams made up of 25 Local Government Engines from: Sutter County (5 engines) Stanislaus County(5 engines) Nevada County (5 engines) Shasta County (5 engines) Tulare County (5 engines) OBSERVATION FIRE (U.S. 395 near Termo) Three Strike Teams made up of 14 OES Engines Shasta County Weaverville Tehama Mt.
