LVFD is happy to report that the southern flank of the #BridgeFire, to include the farthest southeastern division, remains calm. As of this posting, the only active burning remains over Claremont. (1/5)
From the #BridgeFire, Chief Nigg shows us where the increased smoke activity is coming from and why there is still no immediate threat to La Verne.
Crews are still actively attacking this fire both from the air and the ground.

🔥 @CFDLocal2 has worked three years without a new contract. It's time for the City of Chicago to do right by its residents and its FF/paramedics. Sign a fair agreement now!

Heavy smoke is visible from La Verne from the #ForksFire in the Camp Williams area of Azusa Canyon. The fire is currently 75 acres and 0% contained. There are no fires burning in La Verne and no current threat to La Verne. Please use 9-1-1 for emergencies only.
The @IAFFofficial worked tirelessly to get the Fire Grants and Safety Act to @POTUS's desk.
Thanks to yesterday's signing, more than $700 million is headed to communities across the U.S. to hire, train, and equip fire fighters and emergency medical workers.
Smoke may be visible in La Verne from the Vista Fire, which is just west of Lytle Creek. It is currently at 2 acres with a slow rate of spread and San Bernardino County Fire is on scene. There is no threat to La Verne.
Please stay alert, aware, and ready during this heat wave!

If after all your transfer lists your department issues aren't solved maaaaaaybe you have a culture issue not a staffing issue. After all the dusts settles all you've done is broken up crews that like working together and destroyed years of mutual trust, team cohesion, and implicit understanding
