Anybody knows anything more than what I can see from my window up on top of Desert View?
-
I was wondering why a helicopter kept flying overhead. Now I know. :o

fire and sheriff dispatch online:

-
5 - 7 acre fire in heavy fuels with a moderate rate of spread. It is near the area of Zermatt and Pacific Crest.
Resources have been dispatched for structure protection.
-
Yes, I've heard the chopper as well, which drove me to check the Forum. Going overhead now, again. Please update. How close, How large. Thanks.

Very large Air Tanker on final for the Wrightwood fire. Be advised that the aircraft can drop retardant that is extremely heavy and can flatten a car or truck if in the path of the drop. Humans fare very poorly when hit with these drops.

Again? Another fire??? >:( Does anyone have a map of where this fire is?

Me too! I had visions of an escaped bad guy before I checked the Forum.

I sure hope everyone is staying out of their way.
-
Mandatory evacuations between Lone Pine and Easter Drive, per the radio feed just now.
-
I'm on summit. From my perspective looks very nearly knocked down. The very large tankers just fortified the southern flank, there's no fuel to the east and I only see white smoke coming out of the canyon to the north. Hand crews and bulldozer to the west between the fire and Pacific crest.
-
This air support is MASSIVE, sounds like a war zone but a GREAT zone. THANK YOU to all involved!!!!

Music to our ears! :2thumbsup:

This forum is invaluable! Thanks for the updates. I am overseas at the moment and this is my only way to connect with back home. Glad the VLATS and the hand crews got the fire under control (or at least I hope they did).
-
That was pretty amazing to watch. These folks know their work. I can't believe how quick all the pieces were in place and operational. Looks like mop up work now. Thanks to all the personnel that worked on this fire.
-
The Zermatt incident is approximately 7-9 acres. The area that burned is West of the Blue Cut dozer line and Pacific Crest/Chaumont Drive.

Can we get in and out of town yet? I mean by way of Hwy 2 and 138?

Pretty much can guarantee there will be crews and equipment on the Zermatt Fire all night long cleaning up hot spots and improving the depth of the fire line surrounding the incident. Couple things to watch for....the smell of smoke will be strong in our valley depending on the winds. Pretty normal. Second, there will be hot spots flaring up throughout the night that will be visible to many. Many of these will be in the middle of the burn....not a factor to fire escaping and will be allowed to burn out. Some fire may be put on the ground to clean up some areas that still have unburned fuels and they might glow a bit more. All of this is pretty standard operating procedure and nothing to worry about. If you feel that you are seeing something that is not what I've described or you are really worried, call 911 and the nice person will contact the Incident Commander to investigate what you see or smell.
We definitely dodged a bullet once again and no structures were lost due to having the right equipment and trained personnel to respond immediately. Our resident crew at Station 14 did an amazing job of assessing what they had and getting the right equipment and personnel from multiple agencies on the way. Thankfully, there were aircraft and sufficient resources not committed to other fires to get around this one. Thankful too that no one was injured....civilian or firefighter.

On the positive side this is another (hopefully) natural fuel mitigation that will benefit us. To bad it comes with so much stress. This area will regrow fast.
Just seems very suspicious one starting there and will be interesting to find out how if started.
-
will be interesting to find out how if started.
Seems like we never hear about that. For example, what exactly started the blue cut fire? We know where, but we hardly ever hear how.
