Another fire in NW part of the Angeles
Just a quick look at the #FireHistory of the #GulchFire. Perimeter 8-20-22, burning one of the *last* unburnt areas, consuming a good portion of the Silver Fish Truck Trail. 2016 Reservoir Fire (NE ridgeline), 2020 Dam Fire (bottom), and the 2020 Ranch2 #ANF #SanGabrielCanyon

A draft graphic of my experiment in blending and tweaking the Beaufort wind scale and #fireweather winds in a way that I feel I can better use in #FireJournaling. I have taken liberties with terminology.

With sunny skies earlier today, you'd never know that firefighters responded to 15 small fires caused by lightning storms from Mon.-today. Firefighters and aircraft continue to be on high alert responding to reports of smoke, patrolling the forest, and monitoring burned areas.

I really hope those botany flags were still up and that they saw them. I saw how big some of those burn piles were at one spot. Rx burning needs to be done but with attention for all. :) Would be such a shame to loose part of the plant population due to a 'mistake'. #AngelesNF
#SmokeAdvisory - The #AngelesNF will be conducting a prescribed burn along Big Pines Hwy near Ball Flat outside of Wrightwood starting this morning and into the afternoon. Smoke might be visible nearby. #GoodFire

Unless you're in the #ANF! NO FIRES ALLOWED OF ANY SORT.... that includes propane and BBQ pits. NO means NO! Current fire restrictions can be found here: fs.usda.gov/alerts/angeles/a… #StaySafe #FireRestrictionsAreForAReason

It's #NationalCampfireDay, do you remember how to extinguish a campfire? Say it with me: Drown, stir, down, feel! If the ashes are too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave.
Oh damn. You know when people state xx acres, you never really know what it's going to look like until you see it devour the hillsides. plural.
Thank god... we don't need another Bobcat or Ranch2 fire!
BRUSH FIRE 7/21/21 Earlier photo as @LACoFireAirOps water dropping helicopters assisted @LACoFD @Angeles_NF with the #EncantoFire near Duarte. Per @LACoFDPIO, forward progress was stopped at approximately 10 acres.

Yes #firefighters have been known to rescue a cat in a tree... but also kittens from a burnt out basement. @LAFD Arson K9 handler Gus Gietta does it all!

If you smelled smoke yesterday afternoon could be from the Duncan fire in Fontana. Est 150 acres, 30 units on site, Santa Ana winds pushed smoke towards the ocean. Out in 4 hrs.

We have received calls regarding smoke in parts of Orange County. Currently we do not have any fires in our service area, and the smoke may be drift smoke from the Duncan fire incident in Fontana.

PLEASE only plant trees thru Forest Service affiliates and don't just "do it yourself" without the proper approvals in place. It takes a LOT of effort to undo trees planted in the wrong place. (personal experience!)
It's #GivingTuesday and what better than to plant-a-tree. Through our Plant-a-Tree or Penny Pines programs you can contribute to replace trees damaged by fires or other natural event. Like at this tree planting event at Crystal Lake last year! go.usa.gov/x76HS
I wonder what the cause was.
Good morning. While you slept, your #ANF firefighters worked through the night to build containment on the #Bluefire west of Wrightwood near Jackson Lake

Rare chance to see how fire spreads based on topography and no obstacles...

And it will be HOT...

The top weather concern of the week arrives late Wed into Thursday. Gusty, dry offshore wind for elevated fire danger esp. North Bay mtns, Diablo Range and interior NorCal. Stay tuned. #CAwx #FireWx
