"During the initial attack, we're taking all the radio traffic, we're receiving all the resource order requests from the field units, from the incident commanders," Center Manager Brandon McLemore said.
The operator at one desk that Action News saw manages all the aircraft assigned to Garnet. They do check-ins every 10 minutes.
"Communicating with them back and forth on the radio, communicating back and forth with the ground resources, letting them know the air resources are coming, whether it's from the air base or out of the area," McLemore said.
As the Garnet Fire grew, so did the command center. The Forest Service added several people in another room.
Ruben Alvidrez came in from Southern California.
"I'm just monitoring as the emails are coming in," Alvidrez said.
When requests come from the base camp, now near Harlan Ranch, Alvidrez assigns them.
"For the most part, it's just a steady workload that we're getting on a daily basis to order crews, to order equipment, to order supplies," he said.
Back in the main area, CalFire communication operators, like John Dahlberg, are busy managing the response to different fires.
With so many throughout the region, CalFire and the Forest Service now attend each other's daily briefings.
"During these fires, we have gone from room to room, and we have communicated with each other almost hourly," Dahlberg said.
Above the teams in the joint Command Center is a massive map that shows the size of Garnet.
It has burned nearly 60,000 acres.
"Until this thing wraps up and folks are headed home ... then we'll be dealing with it afterwards, too," Alvidrez said.
