Multiple structures with residences around the Piru Canyon area. Continuing no divert status on the air tankers due to life threat. Major concern is the western and northern spread of the fire as it gets into the wilderness.

AA15 has 10 minutes more on station, no ETA on the relief air attack yet.

AA15 is off the fire, Helco has been established, until AA12 arrives, holding all tankers till AA12 is on scene.
