New start near Lake Piru, with LPF and LAC augmenting…
WD has it as Holser Fire.
2nd alarm going out.
I’d estimate this being on the LP before long
It is not waiting around for anything.
Sure is building quickly.
Thing looks exactly like the Canyon Fire that was in that exact area that burned almost exactly a year ago.
Number of shootings ranges out there.
This is -literally- unforgiving terrain. I was in that canyon when I firefighter fell down a cliff and perished there, in 1999. Be careful out there, it’s just vegetation.
Another helpful view, from inside the LP…
Aircraft assigned: A52, T107, T167, VNC Copter 4, 5, 21, LAC C 21, 22, HT40, HT55
Am I wrong in seeing this as being in LPF jurisdiction?
Currently SRA in VNC
- needs to get west and north of Lake Piru to be LPF
IC Requesting 2 Golf and 2 Lima strike teams for state mission.
Air Attack requesting 4 additional Any Type Air Tankers
Fire guard puts the fire south of the lake, east of the creek approx 1.5 miles from LA/VNC line moving ENE with nothing but SRA and some LAC LRA miles away. Just on the west line of the canyon scar.
Fires on the east side of Lake Piru are usually 1 and done unless it has Santa Ana winds on it, too early in the season for that.
North side of the fire is being held up in a cliff area that’s inaccessible, air show only at this point.
