holding all tankers due to wind conditions.

From a sampling of several LIVE news feeds, it appears there are currently dozens of homes in each of many divisions, from Bell Canyon / Calabasas all the way to only one mile from the Malibu Coast fully involved now. The number of homes destroyed is officially 30, however, the number is likely to be much higher.

Is LACoFD really trying to run this thing as a Type 3 incident? Haven’t heard any talk of an IMT, just seems super complex and could use the logistical support and resource capabilities of a team. Maybe CALFIRE 1 will take it since they were supposed to take the Hill, anybody have intel on that?

There is growing concern over fire activity that is encroaching on structures in the vicinity of Mulholland and Decker Canyon, tight access that only patrols or T6 engines will be able to make it in
