Please ignore that. I consider it nonsense for those of us who are following here.
I appreciate your contribution.

Just to clarify, the message came from a single contributor and not from the mods.
There is a spam protection that prevents posts within a certain time frame in a row from the same person, but i think we mitigated that with the current engagement.
Back to the fire…

Given the scale, scope and intensity of this fire, also given the significant personnel needs causing LAFD to put public call outs for even volunteer personnel on the news, I’d be very very curious to see a reporting on the total number of strike teams / and a list of all the units and agencies that ultimately will have responded to this and other LA area fires from across the state. I think it’s going to be very significant.

I’d be shocked if he wasn’t already. Secret service is incredibly risk adverse and likely is liasoning with sheriff directly.

Given wind direction, there’s a ton more damage this fire can do, but I suspect the footprint will remain under 10k acres. Given SMA is evacuating to San Vincente, they’re def worried. But this is going to be a deceptively damaging fire, not a huge footprint, but extremely high property loss and worse…

Don’t call them if you’re not LAFD.

A gentle reminder to everyone to not post any IWI or Mayday calls until such time as there are official press releases from either the agency or official media outlets. We will be deleting posts about IWI(s)
Thank you for your consideration for those effected.
