Already on board are 30 gallons of fire retardant foam additive that will be injected in to the water at a 5% concentration. This will act to knock down the flames faster than water alone.

Copter 10 radios to Monte Vista “Copter 10 is airborne on a heading of 150 degrees, 8 souls on board, 2 hours of fuel”. Copter 12 radios “Copter 12 is airborne on a heading of 350 degrees, 8 souls on board, 2 hours of fuel”. Both are converging on the fire from opposite ends of the County. In Ramona, the pilots staff their planes as Chief Chaney climbs up and in to the BRONCO’s rear seat. As the starters are engaged, the two turboprop engines come to life and the pilot begins to taxi the aircraft to the runway. As Chief Chaney watches the two air tankers start their engines, the radio crackles, trans- mitting to the Ramona Airport Control Tower “Air Attack 330 taxing to active for fire emergency dispatch”. The control tower redirects all other local air traffic in the vicinity of the Ramona airport and gives 330 a priority departure. Within 4 minutes of the initial dispatch from Monte Vista, 330 is airborne and is given directions by Ramona CALFIRE Base Operators to “turn to a heading of 291 degrees – fly direct to the Deer Spring District, 16 miles distance to intercept the fire”. As 330 climbs to the altitude of 3,000 feet, Chief Chaney sees the smoke plume and header rising to over 1,200 feet above the District.

In addition, the S2-T’s have been loaded with 1200 gallons of the red-colored fire retardant called Phos-Chek, adding an additional 12,000 pounds to their gross weight. Following the morning briefing, the pilots wait for dispatch orders in the ready room, as all aircraft are ready to go. In charge of CAL FIRE Air Operations in Ramona is Battalion Chief Ray Chaney, who also rides back seat in the BRONCO coordinating and directing all aircraft near and around a fire incident as the Air Tactical Group Supervisor or ATGS.

(Photo credit: American Red Cross) Opposite Page: Painting of Harris Fire by Kate Dore, based on photo by Wes Schultz. 2 Introductory Statement In October of 2007, a series of large wildfires ignited and burned hundreds of thousands of acres in Southern California. The fires displaced nearly one million residents, destroyed thousands of homes, and sadly took the lives of 10 people. Shortly after the fire siege began, a team was commissioned by CAL FIRE, the U.S. Forest Service and OES to gather data and measure the response from the numerous fire agencies involved. This report is the result of the team’s efforts and is based upon the best available information and all known facts that have been accumulated. In addition to outlining the fire conditions leading up to the 2007 siege, this report presents statistics —including availability of firefighting resources, acreage engaged, and weather conditions—alongside the strategies that were employed by fire commanders to create a complete day-by-day account of the firefighting effort. The ability to protect the lives, property, and natural resources of the residents of California is contingent upon the strength of cooperation and coordination among federal, state and local firefighting agencies.

Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.

Well, Maybe Not Drought Advice: Be Careful Out There Have you heard (or seen) ... Helpful Phone Numbers Parched Brush Intensifies Fire Risk As California firefighters chase blazes from the Oregon to the Mexico borders, fear grows that Southern California is on the verge of a catastrophic fire. San Diego County has already experienced an unprecedented event this year — Santa Ana wind-driven fires in the month of May. “Santa Ana winds have started many fires that historically have resulted in the loss of many lives and structures in San Diego County,” said CAL FIRE Battalion Chief Nick Schuler, who is based in Deer Springs. But the fires that struck North San Diego County in May struck with surprising ferocity. “This was the first time that we’ve seen a fire in a coastal community that moved so rapidly,” Schuler said of the Poinsettia Fire, which hit Carlsbad on May 14. “Within minutes of the fire breaking out, homes were threatened and self-evacuations were occurring. The magnitude of the fire was alarming.” Six hundred acres of tinder-dry brush burned in Carlsbad in a matter of hours, destroying five single-family residences, 18 apartment units and a large commercial building, and damaging other structures.

    Hill & Woolsey Fires After Action Summary Report 11/13/19 INCIDENT SUMMARY From November 7 to November 22, 2018, Thousand Oaks was engaged in a mass shooting and two fires. This is an After-Action Summary Report (AASR) of three incidents that occurred over a 72-hour period. This AASR includes a three-day response timeline (page 4). This document also includes observations, recommendations for improvements and follow-up items that have been completed or will soon be completed. It is also important to note that this is a summary description of the more formal report that the city submitted to the Ventura County Sheriff Office of Emergency Services. Also included in this report is the EOC structure on page 14, a Hill/Woolsey Fire Boundary map and a Fire History map on page 16. See Attachment 1 – Fire Boundary Map 2 | Page City of Thousand Oaks After Action Report November 13, 2019 SHELTERING MULTI-AGENCY COORDINATION In past incidents, local shelter functions were fully assumed by the American Red Cross (ARC), but during this incident, the ARC representatives were not able to address all local sheltering needs, due to road closures and the resource requests in Los Angeles County. As a result, the City, Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD) and the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) worked together to establish, staff, and fulfill all the local shelter needs in Thousand Oaks. One of the follow-up items from the incident is to update sheltering procedures between local agencies and to establish a countywide care and shelter plan.
