| 26: Communities/Critical Infrastructure Threatened (in 12, 24,
48 and 72 hour time frames): 12 hours: Will Adversely effect Lockwood Valley with evacuations, road closures, and structure protection. Other area impacts are cattle ranching, hay farming, mining, and agriculture. May affect: The communities of Miramonte, Blue Point, Temescal, Lockwood Valley, and Ozena; recreational use of multiple USFS and State campsites; burnover and closure of Hwy 33; multiple cell phone/radio communications sites. 24 hours: May affect the communities of Knapp Ranch, Frazier Park, Pinon Pines Estates, Ozena, Pine Mountain Club, recreational use of multiple USFS and State campsites; multiple cell phone/radio communications sites. 48 hours: May affect recreational use of multiple USFS campsites and multiple mining claims due to increased smoke production and/or burnover; multiple cell phone/radio communications sites. 72 hours: May affect communities near Santa Barbara County Line; recreational use of multiple USFS campsites due to increased smoke production and/or burnover. |
| 27: Critical Resource Needs (kind & amount, in
priority order): 1. East (8) Type I Hand Crews; West; (1) HLCO 2. 3. |
| 28: Major problems and concerns (control problems,
social/political/economic concerns or impacts, etc.) Relate critical
resources needs identified above to the Incident Action
Plan. Evacuation and community protection in Lockwood Valley. Use of contingency line as main fireline.Very steep and inaccessible terrain. Multiple jurisdictions in relation to protection of critical infrastructure (communications sites, municipal watersheds, electrical facilities/infrastructure, interstate highways) in close proximity to the fire. Use of minimum impact suppression tactics (MIST) in wilderness and threatened/endangered species habitat. Protection of heritage resources. Public safety along Interstate 5 Fwy corridor. Prevention of the spread of the New Zealand mud snail north of Pyramid Dam and into Piru Lake. Wildland urban interface areas and towns/communities north, south and west of the fire. |
| 29: Resources threatened (kind(s) and
value/significance): Wilderness values in the Sespe Wilderness on the Los Padres National Forest. California Condor Sanctuary and habitat. Arroyo toad and California red-legged frog habitat. Sespe River Steelhead habitat. Archeological/heritage sites. |
| 30: Current Weather Conditions Wind Speed: 12G20 mph Temperature: 34-64 Wind Direction: S Relative Humidity: 25-85 |
31: Resource
benefits/objectives (for prescribed/wildland fire use
only): |
| 32: Fuels/Materials Involved:
4 Chaparral (6 Feet) Heavy mixed brush with scattered timber. |
| 33: Today's observed fire behavior (leave blank for
non-fire events): East: Major fire movement to the north, with spotting and rapid rates of spread. Fire made short crown runs in timber. Active fire in brush fuels. Fires backing into drainages. Short range spotting up to ¼ mile. West: Fire is still very active in Santa Paula Canyon. Several spot fires have been detected off the bluffs in the headwaters of Sisar Creek. |
| 34: Significant events today (closures, evacuations,
significant progress made, etc.): East: Evacuations of Lockwood Valley forced the use of contingency line for possible burnout operations. Began constructing hand line west of Grade Valley Road. Used aerial ignition to increase burnout in Piru and Alamo Creeks area. Provided structure protection in the Mutau Flats and Lockwood Valley area. West; Improve contingency line and construct direct line on the western and southern perimeter. Identify and prep areas for helispots. Precautionary evacuations have been lifted on Hwy 150 corridor from Santa Paula City limits to Thatcher School. Summit School and Thomas Aquinas College will re-open today. Hwy 150 is open to all traffic from Santa Paula City limits to Reeves Rd. Precautionary Evacuations continue to remain in place; Rose Valley Road to the Community of Ozena and Lake of the Woods to Ozena is a recommended evacuation. Crews completed 7.5 miles of line construction on the south perimeter in Divisions F and G. |

37: Estimated Final Cost: |
38: Tomorrow's Forecasted Weather Wind Speed: 10G22 mph Temperature: 70-90 Wind Direction: S-SW Relative Humidity: 15-25 |
| 39: Actions planned for next operational
period: East: Secure breakout south of Lockwood Valley with burnout of several miles of contingency lines. Additional Engine Strike Teams will be assigned to the Lockwood Valley contingency line. Continue to construct and improve hand line west of Grade Valley Road around slop-over and burn out where necessary. Mop-up and patrol in Mutau Flats area. Begin mop-up and patrol down Piru Creek around Gold Hill. Patrol line from Hardluck Camp area to Pyramid Lake.West: Improve contingency line and construct direct line on the west and southern perimeter. Identify areas that will need short and long term rehab. Patrol Divisions for hotspots. Day shift Hand Crews will continue to coyote through the night in Branch II and V |
| 40: Projected incident movement/spread during next
operational period: East: Fire activity is expected to be similar to yesterday¿s activity and continued very high indices will test containment objectives. Perimeter growth is expected to be similar to yesterdays to the north and west. Winds will moderate only slightly at the peak of the burn time. Expect moderate to high fire behavior along the northern and western perimeters. Fire on the higher ridge will be active with winds and lower RH values. Expect moderate spotting potential (up to .3 mile). West: The fire is expected to hold along most areas around the perimeter. Potential downslope spread still exists in the Santa Paula Creek drainage. Isolated pockets may still flair close to the line. Some movement is expected as fire burns down to the west of Topatopa Bluffs. |
| 41: For fire incidents, describe resistance to control in terms of: |
| 1. Growth Potential - Extreme |
| 2. Difficulty of Terrain - Extreme |
| 42: How likely is it that containment/control
targets will be met, given the current resources and suppression/control
strategy? Continued progress hinges upon our ability to retain our current workforce level. Filling unfilled orders and replacing resources timing out along with favorable weather are needed to meet containment targets. |
| 43: Projected demobilization start date: 09/25/2006 1200 |
| 44: Remarks: The Day Incident is now under Area Command with Type I Team (Custer) managing the East section and CIIMT-5 (Dietrich) managing the West section. The Day Incident 209 will reflect both the East and West sections. A need for a large capacity laundry service for Spike Crews. (sleeping bags)West. Imminent threat to rural community with limited access near the Lockwood Valley contingency line. 8 Type 1-3 Engine Strike Teams and 2 Type 1 Hand Crews were reassigned to the East Zone reporting to Lockwood Valley Staging. |
