  • Executive Summary the Ranch Fire Started October 20, 2007 Near
    USDA­FOREST SERVICE FS­2500­8 (6/06) Date of Report: 11/05/07 BURNED­AREA REPORT (Reference FSH 2509.13) Executive Summary The Ranch Fire started October 20, 2007 near Townsend Peak, southwest of Templin Highway and Interstate 5 on the Angeles National Forest. Intense Santa Ana winds peaking above 100 mph on the ridge tops drove the fire southwest across 13000 acres of the Angeles National Forest then onto the Los Padres National Forest and private lands in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties burning 58,401 acres total. Most of total acreage burned during the first 48 hours after ignition. The fire reached its final boundary on October 26, and was fully contained on November 3. Because of the speed of this fire suppression impacts on National Forest land were limited to two miles of dozer line on the Angeles N.F., and some hand line and water/retardant drops along the west side of the fire on the Los Padres N. F. Approximately 14,000 acres burned on the Los Padres National Forest, 13,000 acres burned on the Angeles National Forest, 1900 acres on the Hopper Mountain Wildlife Refuge, 1400 acres on BLM land, and 28,000 on private land near Val Verde and Hasley Canyon. The Los Padres manages 8000 acres of the Angeles National Forest within the burn perimeter and east of Piru Creek. Fifth­field watersheds within the Ranch Fire area used for BAER analysis include: Castaic, Sespe Creek, middle Santa Clara River and lower Piru Creek. The BAER team leader was assigned on October 23 and assembled a team which finalized field work for soils and hydrology by October 30 with other field work finalized on November 1.
