Sounds like Dalton IHC is hiking in. Resources still enroute.

Canceling dozers since it’s in the wilderness.

Is this the baldy that started on the 22nd? CAD shows dispatch on 22nd and no other actions recorded.
Mt. Baldy Rd and station 200.
Mop-up incident?

LAC BC 2 arrived and assuming Baldy AREP, confirmed 15 to 20 acres, hung up on the ridge and being held by aircraft. No structure threat, 100% FRA.
Update: Looking at best access from below will be off Cow Canyon fire road that drops into the East fork San Gabriel Cyn. Absolutely beastly work to access this on the ground. https://goo.gl/maps/RhSextr7VAM4zW3z9
WEATHER at Baldy Village: 86 F, humidity 16% and winds from the N at 5.

Was great to listen to the rapid interagency response, cooperative-directed effort & see very positive outcome. Damn good work! Tough topography & drying fuels even at this elev.
