Other area impacts are cattle ranching, hay farming, mining, and agriculture. May affect: The communities of Frazier Park, and Ozena; recreational use of multiple USFS and State campsites; burnover and closure of Hwy 33; multiple cell phone/radio communications sites. |
| 27: Critical Resource Needs (kind & amount, in
priority order): 1. 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. Red flag warning remains in effect for low RH. Humidities will be lowest above 5000 feet. Indices remain high to extreme. Recommended evacuation for Lockwood Valley. Precautionary evacuation for Cuddy Valley, Vision, Chuchupate, Lake of the Woods, Pine Mtn Club, Pinon Pines, Camp Scheideck, and Indian Pines. Structure protection in Lockwood Valley, Cuddy Valley, Vision, Chuchupate, Lake of the Woods, Pine Mtn Club, Pinon Pines, Camp Scheideck and Indian Pines. Lockwood Valley Rd closed from Lockwood Creek Rd to Hwy 33(residents with ID ok). 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 and Chumash 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: 4 mph Temperature: 44 Wind Direction: SW Relative Humidity: 14 |
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/West: Minimal fire behavior with interior islands continuing to burn. Fire most active above 5000 feet. |
| 34: Significant events today (closures, evacuations,
significant progress made, etc.): East: All lines completed in divisions X,Y,Z. Control lines holding and mop up continues in Lockwood Valley area and Piru Creek. Cattle ranching, hay farming, mining, and agriculture impacted. Closure order for Lockwood Valley residences lifted. Evacuation order for Kern County reduced to precautionary. West: Crews completed line construction in Division Q from Thorn Point Lookout south to H-70 and in Division O from the P/O break south to DP-55. Crews continued mop up and back haul operations in Divisions AA CC in Branch VI. An estimated additional 6 miles of line construction was completed today (combination of East and West Zones). |

36: Projected Final Size: |
37: Estimated Final Cost: |
38: Tomorrow's Forecasted Weather Wind Speed: 7G14 mph Temperature: 81 Wind Direction: SW Relative Humidity: 8 |
| 39: Actions planned for next operational
period: East/West Determine rehab needs and begin implementation. Utilize hoselay north and south of Lockwood Valley Rd. Brush out Gold Hill Rd from Gold Camp to Hungry Valley Rd. Improve/patrol/mop-up direct line from Lockwood flat east to Gold Hill and west to dozer line. Improve/patrol direct line east to west Piru Creek at Gold Hill Road. Mop-up 400 feet in on divisions W,X,Y,Z. Improve line construction in divisions BB,CC. |
| 40: Projected incident movement/spread during next
operational period: Fire behavior will continue to be minimal due to suppression activities. Spotting potential of .5 mile or less. |
| 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 under Area Command (Waterbury) with Type I Team (Custer) managing the East Zone and CIIMT-5 (Dietrich) managing the West Zone. A tentative transition with CIIMT-1 (Feser) to replace CIIMT-5 (Dietrich) on 10/03/2006 at 1800. The Day Incident Summary 209 will reflect both the East and West Zone. Structures reported lost on 9/27 have been reevaluated to reflect 1 residence. Outbuilding/Other category increased from 1 to 3 and destroyed from 9 to 10 due to revised damage assessment reporting figures with State standard. The estimated property saved due to direct fire suppression effort is $20,500,000 in Lockwood Valley. |
