| 26: Communities/Critical Infrastructure Threatened (in 12, 24,
48 and 72 hour time frames): 12 hours: Has adversely affected: Chuchupate, Lake of the Woods, Pine Mountain Club, Pinon Pines, Indian Pines, and 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, 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, Ozena, 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. West; (1) VHF Repeater with UHF Link; (1) UHF Repeater; (1) HLCO 2. East (30) Engine Strike Teams, Type 1, 2, 3. 3. West; (5) Type 1 IHC; (6) DIVS; (4) OPBD; (13) DOZB |
| 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. Fire in the interface, structure loss, and continued protection of residences in the fire area. 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. 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. Homes, ranches, and livestock. |
| 30: Current Weather Conditions Wind Speed: 10G20 mph Temperature: 50-60 Wind Direction: S/SW Relative Humidity: 35-70 |
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 across Lockwood Valley Road and into the Lockwood Valley community, 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 active in Santa Paula Canyon. Several spot fires have been detected off the bluffs in the headwaters of Sisar Creek. Fire along the Sespe Creek has been significantly reduced due to aggressive suppression action. Several small areas remain active in the upper portion or the drainage. |
| 34: Significant events today (closures, evacuations,
significant progress made, etc.): East: Fire jumped Lockwood Valley Road east of Lockwood Flats. Evacuations of Lockwood Valley are on going. Five non-residential structures were lost. Multiple road closures are in effect. Lockwood helibase threatened and moving aircraft to two adjacent helibases. West; Improve contingency line and construct direct line on the western and southern perimeter. Identify and prep areas for helispots. 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 additional 2.5 miles of line construction on the south perimeter in Divisions F and G. |

37: Estimated Final Cost: |
38: Tomorrow's Forecasted Weather Wind Speed: 10G20 mph Temperature: 70-95 Wind Direction: S?SW Relative Humidity: 15-25 |
| 39: Actions planned for next operational
period: East: Patrol I 5 corridor, Oak Flats, Rawhide Ranch. Control line around slopover north of Lockwood Valley Road and west of Lockwood Valley Flats. Patrol dozer line from Grade Valley Road west to Lockwood Creek. Burn out and mop up. Protect improvements from Hard Luck Creek Campground to Div X/Y break. Improve line from Pyramid Lake along Piru Creek.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. The East / West Zone has been changed and ground resources will be assigned in Branch VI 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: Patrol I 5 corridor, Oak Flats, Rawhide Ranch. Control line around slopover north of Lockwood Valley Road and west of Lockwood Valley Flats. Patrol dozer line from Grade Valley Road west to Lockwood Creek. Burn out and mop up. Protect improvements from Hard Luck Creek Campground to Div X/Y break. Improve line from Pyramid Lake along Piru Creek.West: Suppression actions have greatly reduced the potential for a strong run to develop near the line on Branches 2,4 and 5. Expected limited wind and slope driven runs. Most activity will occur as interior torching and small crown runs. IR should help detect heat near the line ¿ left unchecked these areas of heat have the potential to re ¿ ignite under the right conditions in the future and challenge the current containment line. |
| 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? Progress hinges upon our ability to retain our current workforce level. Filling 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. 8 Type 1-3 Engine Strike Teams and 2 Type 1 Hand Crews have been reassigned to the East Zone reporting to Lockwood Valley Staging. East ¿West boundary redefined. Boundary will extend from Apache Saddle to Safety Zone 119 to Repeater C-7. |
