Intel and Coulson working the night air shift. Both of these technologies have definitely make an impact and a great tool in the wildfire toolbox.

One has to think that if it gets established across Hungry Valley road the fire should slow down in the heavier less receptive fuels. Further south towards Castaic fuels probably have much more moisture. A few days ago the LA County brush fire training was going on at Wayside detention center in Castaic, and it looked like the fuels were barely burning.

I agree with the higher FMs. I would be concerned with the eventual wind switch bringing fire across I5 and burning to the North. Though it is impacting Federal land now, the establishment of fire there is not nearly the concern it would be a month or so from now.

Good morning. Here are the extended attack frequencies assigned to Post. Did not see an A/G assigned but it is LAC so they might have their own internal procedure vs CalFire’s typical.

  • CDF Tacs 28, 29, VFIRE 24, 25, 26
