Calm, cool, collected, under extreme pressure. Sounds like the LACoFD.

There was a similarly named fire that stalked The Summit community area up there in May 2021. Fire crews could use that burn scar to at least tie/keep this current burn to the south but nothing is a guarantee. The wind is intense and the fire is burning in brush that hasnât even seen much fire since at LEAST '1978 from the Mandeville Firestorm.
This fire will unfortunately be historic for many reasons, one of them being such a monster in January. I can count with one had how many 1,000+ acre fires have happened in SoCal in the past 3 decades.
Forgive the crude drawing, do not use it for exact mapping purpose:

For some of the folks reading who might not know, the reason why LAFD Ladder Trucks almost always travel with an accompanying Engine, is that LAFD Ladderâs donât have pumps.
