CA-LAC-Palisades ???

I think I was wrong - I think based on what i’m seeing on the cameras, it might well well be over 10k acres when the sun rises, possibly much more…

also that 10k homes at risk number mentioned early on might unfortunately be an underestimate as well

we’ll see what the data says

From first hand accounts the loss of structures will be staggering. The $ value will probably be the most ever lost in a fire.

Helco and operations sounds like they have some opportunities on the eastern flank to go to work with the helicopters , 20 acre slop over in the same area (old ranch road ) said 20 acres will back down the canyon

Its part of how the state identifies resources in the states mutual aid system. The state is divided into 6 geographic regions and then each region is subdivided in multiple areas (a group of cities/departments). That being said here is a quick break down;
The 1st 3 letters identify the Department/county (if it starts with an X it’s a Strike Team consisting of mixed Departments)

The 1st number represents the states mutual aid region they are from.

The 2 nd number represents what area they are from in that region.

The last 2 numbers represent a block of numbers that area is assigned for spefic Departments in that area.

That’s it in a nut shell!

Can confirm. I’m in an area where we saved 3 probably valued around 50 mil and lost 2 probably valued at 20 mil.

This is where the value estimates get wonky. Go to zillow and look at the estimated value, what part is the structure and what part is the address.
