Remarks:
The fire is being managed under Unified Command with the Angeles National Forest, Los Angeles County Fire and Los Angeles County Sheriff Departments (LACSO). Central Coast Interagency Incident Management Team 7 (Smith) assumed command for the Forest yesterday at 1200 hrs. Tactical and strategic decisions are being made with emphasis placed on safety, environmental / cultural concerns, cost benefit and the 2012 Risk Decision Framework in Support of Fire Management Decisions.
A NIROP flight has been ordered for 0200 on 9/4. An FMAG was applied for but has not been approved as the area is sparsely populated.
Sensitive resource and land management issues include watershed and Threatened and Endangered species habitat; a riparian buffer of 600? established for aerial retardant and low altitude flights are restricted due to native sheep. Cultural resources are prevalent in the area. This is a high visibility fire. Therefore local and national media contacts will be handled through a Joint Information Center located at the Angeles NF Supervisor?s Office. Note: The fire made significant runs today and has increased in size. Acreage is based on a LA County I/R flight conducted last night. Accurate acreage counts will be forthcoming.
Planned Actions: Continue line construction, Hold existing lines. Scout areas for opportunities to engage. Structure protection in the Camp Williams area.
