SO reporting multiple civilian burns injuries in the Big Rock area. Reports lots of folks coming out with burns and requests an MCI and multiple ALS to respond to Duke’s restaurant.
Between what’s going on here and the eaton it’s gonna be along night in so cal
OPS requesting a Medical Evac for 40 patients and 24 staff for an assisted living facility on Vereda De La Montura and Palisades Dr.
You’re totally right. It’s all about saving lives and getting everyone home safe. Thanks for keeping the focus where it needs to be!
Between the 30 there gonna use on the Eaton and the 40 here I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t start moving EMS units from central and northern cal down south.
Anyone have an updated firis link?
Just to clarify…this request was for 40 patients…not 40 ALS or BLS units
Monterey County OES Type 1 Strike Team 2800A en-route
My apologies I miss read that
Both LAC and LAC have plans for MCI’s involving 100’s to 1000’s of patients. They have contracts with the multiple private ambulance companies located in Southern California. LFD has over 100 ambulances staffed by their Firefighters by it self.
Temescal is impassable - power lines across the road
That’s a solid setup. With both LAC and LAFD having plans for big MCIs and those contracts with private ambulance companies, it really shows how prepared they are for something this massive. Plus, LAFD having over 100 ambulances staffed by firefighters alone is a huge advantage. It’s good to see they’ve got the resources to handle this kind of situation.
HEQ 1 is reporting the fire has crossed West Ridge and is headed to the Mandeville area to the east. He has 4 Dozers in tow and heading that way for more recon
Anyone have IAP or comms plan?
Gotta remember, LA County is bigger than a bunch of states. They have tremendous resources available. Im surprised they had guys off duty given how the week was going to look, and is,
FYI…for those not in the LA media area for coverage…Fox News (National channel) has non stop live coverage that is really good
They’re way to busy for an iap, they’re still in initial response mode, I’m sure the cal fire team will get that handled soon enough
Sounds like it is coming towards Westridge. How is this possible if the wind goes in the opposite direction?
