| 26: Communities/Critical Infrastructure Threatened (in 12, 24,
48 and 72 hour time frames): 12 hours: Cuddy Valley, Vision Valley, 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 Frazier Park, 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 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; (5) Type 1 IHC; (5) DIVS; (4) OPBD; (12) DOZB 2. East: (2) DOZB, (10) STEL, (4) TSLD 3. West; (1) HLCO |
| 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. Evacuations (recommended/precautionary), road closures, and structure protection in Lockwood Valley, Cuddy Valley, Vision, Chuchupate, Lake of the Woods, Pine Mountain Club, Pinon Pines, and Indian Pines. Cattle ranching, hay farming, mining, and agriculture impacted. Fire in wildland-urban interface and structure loss. 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: 5-12 mph Temperature: 75-85 Wind Direction: SW Relative Humidity: 12-22 |
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: 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: Trigger point established to mobilize CHP to restrict access to Hwy 9 in the event fire advances toward Mt Pinos and Frazier Park. Control lines holding and mop up continues in Lockwood Valley area. Spots over line at Piru Creek and Lockwood Creek suppressed. Evacuations (recommended/precautionary), road closures, and structure protection in Lockwood Valley, Cuddy Valley, Vision, Chuchupate, Lake of the Woods, Pine Mountain Club, Pinon Pines, and Indian Pines. Cattle ranching, hay farming, mining, and agriculture impacted. Fire in wildland-urban interface and structure loss. 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 line construction and mopped up in the south west perimeter in Divisions G H I and Q an additional 2.75 miles of line have been completed. |

36: Projected Final Size: |
37: Estimated Final Cost: |
38: Tomorrow's Forecasted Weather Wind Speed: 4G8 mph Temperature: 39-49 Wind Direction: SSW Relative Humidity: 8-30 |
| 39: Actions planned for next operational
period: East: Complete damage assessment in Lockwood Valley. Patrol I5 corridor, Oak Flats, Rawhide Ranch. Hold fire and improve line in Lockwood Creek drainage. Continue structure protection north of Lockwood Valley Road. 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. Construct dozer line south of Pine Mt Club and Pinon Pine subdivisions from Cerro Noroeste Road east to Mill Canyon Road. Construct line and mop up in Piru Creek from Gold Hill east to Hard Luck Camp and west to Lockwood Creek. Construct contingency lines in Chumash Wilderness in defense of Pine Mt Club subdivision. Hold fire and improve line in Lockwood Creek drainage. West: Limited staffing in the West Zone. Patrol Branches II and V.Hand Crews will continue to coyote through the night in Branch II and V. |
| 40: Projected incident movement/spread during next
operational period: East: Low relative humidity and extremely dry fuels will result in longer burn period. Higher elevation fires may remain active all night. In valley locations, cool temperatures and humidity recovery will moderate fire behavior. Spotting ¼ to ½ mile. Slope/fuel driven fire behavior, decreasing as the night progresses. If fire establishes on SW aspect of Frazier Mt, low RH will allow intense upslope runs well into night. Spots across Piru Creek will run upslope until fuel runs out or slope flattens. West: Low fire behavior expected over most of the fire tonight. Some glows will still be visible where there was active daytime burning and where the RHs remain in the low 20s and possibly into the low teens. |
| 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 base camp. |
