The Helispot that VNC was using, will be impacted by fire in about 10 minutes and will be unusable.
Fire will be approaching 101 freeway shortly. Most fires with this type of wind usually are stopped at the Great Pacific fuel brake.

AA12, AT 101, 72, 73, Both scoopers from LACoFD, VNC Airsquad 6, LPF H-530
THe LACoFD resources might be going to a second incident, near the Santa Susana area.
There are 2 or 3 incidents, the Hill, the Woolizy incident and possibly another one.
Hill incident 3000 to 5000 acres evacuations to Pacific Coast Highway. 3 to 4 hours to the Pacific ocean.
The Woolsey incident is an LACoFD, but they may be sharing some aircraft.
There are vehicles being impacted by fire on the 101. The fire is already on both sides of the 101. They predict it to impact CSU Channel Islands.
