Just returned from fire.
A wet line is around fire.

LA County Fire and USFS had a unified command setup with plenty of resources on fire.

So does that mean it is a contained fire as they have a line around it?

I have a friend who is at a conference in Anaheim, should she come home just in case? She just phoned to see...

I am grateful that we have the means to communicate at a time like this.

for us fire challenged folks, what is a "wet line"?

MtnDude · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 14, 06, 04:18:48 PM »

FOX news just reported that the fire is 100% contained.

Wetline is a line of firehose around the fire. The ground may not be cleared down to mineral dirt but water can be/has been sprayed on the ground

Wrightwood · « **Reply #31 on:** Nov 14, 06, 04:21:25 PM »

A wet lines mean that hose line completely surround the fire.

I did NOT see any Edison crews on scene. There were power lines down.

A friend of ours spoke to a firefighter and he told her the fire was out.

Wrightwood · « **Reply #33 on:** Nov 14, 06, 04:23:28 PM »

There is no need for anyone to change plans. The fire is basically out with mopup taking place. I just returned from the fire.

They will be putting out hot spots for a while.

How do they get hoses--with water--off-road without access roads for the ''brush" trucks?

Once again, thanks to all firefighters.
