BAER INFORMATION: The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program is designed to identify and manage potential risks to resources on National Forest System lands and reduce these threats through appropriate emergency measures to protect human life and safety, property, and critical natural or cultural resources. BAER is an emergency program for stabilization work that involves time-critical activities to be completed before the first damaging event to meet program objectives.

Please see the Eaton-Hurst Post-Fire BAER InciWeb page for more information.

 

DRONE SAFETY - KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FLY:  Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. For more information on drones the public can visit the FAA’s website at Home - Know Before You Fly . “If you fly, we can’t!”

Outlook
Planned Actions

Provide for operational and personnel safety.

Engage in fire suppression. Maintain and reinforce current containment lines to ensure perimeter control.

Tactical patrols, mop up, and mitigation of all smoke and heat sources interior to the depth necessary to achieve a low probability of escape along the north perimeter of fire.

Demobilization of resources that are excess of the incident needs.

Projected Incident Activity

12 hours: Low humidities will remain during the daylight hours keeping fuels critically dry. Any fire outside containment lines, or a new ignition, will exhibit critical rates of spread.

Current Weather
Weather Concerns

SYNOPSIS: Lingering northeast winds will continue to weaken this morning, however, very dry air will persist through tonight for most of the region. For the Antelope Valley foothills and the San Gabriel Mountains, southwest winds will increase this afternoon with gusts up to 45 mph, and combine with the very dry air, resulting in elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions through Saturday morning. A low pressure system will bring light to locally moderate rain and mountain snow to the region Saturday through Monday, as well as a slight chance for thunderstorms. The focus of the precipitation will be over Los Angeles County, with several hours of steady light precipitation adding up to moderate totals. While the risk for significant debris flows over recent burn areas is low, it is not zero and is tied to where and if any thunderstorm forms. The highest risk for thunderstorms and heavier rain is looking to be Sunday night into Monday morning. Moderate confidence in benign conditions to follow through most if not the rest of next week.
