Just having a look at the #SandyFire seems like it’s Flaring Up again, Two Additional Type 1 Helicopters were just Requested.
Aircraft Assisting.
Air Attack 658, Air Tanker 122.
VCFD Copter 4, 5, Helitanker 61.
LACoFD Helitanker 47.
#SantaRosaIslandFire Aircraft Assisting.
1 Lead Plane.
Air Tankers 104, 137, 168, 184.
Visibility is clear, and Winds have died down to allow Air Tankers to take advantage and make Retardant drops to slow the Spread of the Fire.
NEW: I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.
We need answers to ensure this does not happen again and we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires.
🥹 It's not just humans fleeing the flames. A mountain lion & two cubs are seen on Topanga Canyon Blvd. running away from where the Palisades Fire ravaged hundreds of homes. 💔

Devastation all around. I’ve lost count of the number of buildings we’ve seen on fire. This is Radcliffe Ave in Pacific Palisades, CA. #PalisadesFire#PacificPalisades#California
#ApacheFire 1551 acres. Firefighters made great progress yesterday catching the fire as it pushed southeast. Little to no fire spread overnight. Today, crews will be securing line in steep terrain where the fire is currently hung up. Potential for roll-out is the primary concern
#FosterFire Firefighters are on scene of a small brushfire -forward progress stopped. Fire located the 8000 block of Santa Ana Rd. in the Casita Springs area. Firefighters were able to keep the fire out of the riverbed and contain to the field on the north side of the Ventura River. Firefighters are mopping up and ensuring full extinguishment of the fire. Copter four has been released. Hand crews are going to cut a line of containment around the fire.

This is the #ApacheFire burning in the northwest corner of Ventura County. 500+ acres so far with 0% containment. Folks along Apache Canyon Rd are under an evacuation order. @knxnews@ALERTCalifornia
Fire season is here.
Create a plan to evacuate your home should wildfire strike. Put together an emergency supply kit. Talk with young children about fire safety. If you are under evacuation, listen to officials.
