Fire
Operations Summary
Fire crews will attempt to burn vegetation Tuesday to reduce
fuels in front of the fire east of Mt. Wilson to the western end of Cogswell
Reservoir. This operation will occur at a safe distance from homes and
structures, with air support. No evacuations are necessary or
anticipated.
Fire breaks will be improved from Bear Creek toward Mt. Waterman, the San Gabriel drainage, and at strategic locations along Forest Highway 2. Crews will construct additional
fireline from Chileno Canyon north to Twin Peaks
drainage. Aggressive patrol and suppression of hot spots will continue.
Crews and equipment have begun repairing fireline along the west side
of the fire. The repairs will consist of a number of methods to
prevent erosion on roads, trails, and fuel breaks. Dirt roads will be
repaired and graded as well.
The main focus of operations today will be to construct and improve fireline
along the eastern perimeter of the fire. As always, firefighter and public
safety remains the number one priority.
