IC advising 10 plus acres now and running. Requesting Air Tankers. IC also requesting a second alarm and advising no road access to the fire. Quebec 1 and 2 also en route from Van Nuys. HT-731 also responding.
I did a quick research on WIFIRE. Area last burned in 1974…
We can see the smoke from Gorman, just came down off the Old Ridge Route.

Team talks?
my guess is that this will be handled by a LAC team; possibly in joint with ANF. This fire is laying down and unless it gets away LAC has the teams to handle it

I see it staying an ICT3 fire. With ANF personel. With LACFD in unified comand. Fire looks to be co-operating . Great catch by all.

I agree. this is ANF’s turff and great catch
Any team talk? FED or County or State
Thinking containment numbers will rise and this will probably be turned over to ANF local…unless it continues to stay with the large amount of resources on it. The folks running the fire at this time seem to be doing a great job.
