Ahead on this week's CAL FIRE Report...,Ride with pilots as they combat
the Fairview Fire from the air at night,in Southern California.,And hear from firefighters on the ground
from our Notes from the Frontline segment.,Plus, the challenges firefighters face
as they take on fast moving wildfires,throughout California.,Thanks for joining us
this Monday, September 12, 2022.,I'm CAL FIRE Battalion Chief
Issac Sanchez.,Here are the fire statistics for the week.,CAL FIRE has responded to 6,289 fires
this year.,More than 332,000 acres
have burned-- much less than last year.,Last week, California saw a record
breaking heat wave.,Thankfully, this week, cooler
weather is in the forecast,,but firefighters remain busy battling
16 active wildfires across the state.,Let's get to some of
the largest of those fires.,The Mountain Fire in Siskiyou County ,has burned more than 13,000 acres as of this morning.,Several roads in the area
are still closed.,And CAL FIRE Incident Management Team
5 remains in charge of this incident.,The fire is 60% contained.,The Mosquito Fire in El Dorado and Placer
County started five days ago.,Despite cooler temperatures, the very dry
vegetation is driving this fire's growth.,The steep and rugged terrain
is also making it difficult,for ground crews
to access the fire directly.,The fire has grown to more
than 46,000 acres and is 10% contained.,CAL FIRE is in unified command
with several agencies,on the Mosquito Fire,
including the Tahoe National Forest,and the El Dorado and Placer
County Sheriff's Offices.,Check out a new Notes from the Frontline
that explains some of the important work,firefighters and crews,are doing to protect communities
from the fast,moving Fairview Fire in Riverside County.,As of this morning, about 28,000 acres
have burned.,Firefighters have increased containment
of the Fairview Fire, thanks in part,to recent rains, to 53% contained.,Incident Management
Team 6 is handling the fire.,When we're out there, it's pretty smoky,
especially since we're there right in,front of the-- pretty much watching
the flames come towards us a little bit.,My name is Channara T.J. Ouk.,I'm from Fresno Kings Unit.,I've been here since the fire here
in Riverside, when Fairview Fire started.,We were out on line last night.,We were at the fire front.,The fire was approximately
6 to 8 to 10 feet in flame length.,So we were able to let it burn off just
a little bit when it started cooling down.,There was a break in the road.,We were able to just keep the heat down,
put the fire out a little bit.,Half our strike team,got diverted to structure protection,
so we were able to save some homes there.,It's September
So everything's dried out with the wind,and the heat wave that we've been
experiencing has played a huge factor,into the spread of this fire
and the challenges that we face with that.,The fire was was coming downhill at us
really, really fast.,We had a very short window
to do some back burning.,So we did a burn operation this morning
and started down here,to make a buffer, eliminate a lot of the
the fuels in between us,and the fire so that we were able
to hold it on this road.,It's our job.,It's our duty to take care of,
you know, our community.,The people and structures
here in the environment.,Have you ever wondered what,it's like to fight fire from the air
and in the dark?,Here's a quick ride with our pilots
as they do some night,flying firefighting to combat
the Fairview Fire in Riverside County.,The terrain in that area is very steep.,And utilizing the CAL FIRE Hawk's night
flying technology provides us another tool,to tackle wildfires after dark.,Wildfire danger isn't over
after the flames are put out.,Flooding and debris
flows, road instability and structural,damage are just some of the dangers
that exist after a wildfire.,When you do return, check your roof, attic
and the entire house for potential fire,damage.,Use caution around trees, power poles
and other tall objects or structures.,Make sure to report,electrical problems, gas leaks and damaged
equipment to your local utility company.,And that's the CAL FIRE Report
for September 12th, 2022.,For updates on large wildfires, please
follow us on Twitter and Facebook.,And for tips on how to protect your family
and home during a disaster,visit ReadyForWildfire.org.,I'm Battalion Chief Issac Sanchez.,And have a safe week.

specific damage and destroyed numbers,in the southern half of the fire,currently,there are an estimated 23 356,structures threatened,and in the quincy area there are,3125 structures threatened,total acres burned in the last 24 hours,in the,west zone are estimated at 97,164 acres,now from a current operational update,from operation section chief,good evening shane lauderdale operations,section chief with cal fire,incident management team four,so i just want to start with uh telling,you all that this is a unfolding,incident,uh there are events uh happening,now that we will continue to evaluate,and so please all of the citizens,in the community be aware of what's,happening,and be ready to react,to evacuate or do whatever,you would need to do to remain safe,what i will uh confirm is that today,we did have a fire crew,that at approximately 1 30 this,afternoon,i was forced to take refuge inside of a,structure,for their protection and their crew,transport bus was destroyed,however at this point no injuries have,been reported,last night firefighters engaged in a an,extremely difficult firefight throughout,the night,and rescued over 100,people in that in that,evening fire fight,also uh we want to confirm,that there are structures destroyed,and we are doing the evaluation of that,so as far as what is the fire done today,well,throughout the day firefighters

originally when we first came,in about seven days ago,we had uh two fires we were working with,we were dealing with the claremont and,the bear fire,and uh we were getting a toe hold around,most of it with about 52,containment and uh,yesterday uh right around the pigeon,scar,coming out of horseshoe bend we had a,spot come across,with about 45 mile an hour winds out of,the northeast,carried the fire within 30 minutes we,had a thousand acres,that carried and that continued,so we're looking at approximately a 200,210 000 acre run crown run,extreme fire behavior so,currently now what we did yesterday is,basically point protection,focusing on,just life safety life threat commanding,control of our resources,and that's pretty much where we're at,today we had,those winds somewhat subsided and,we're looking at more of an east wind,today crews were,assessing the areas looking at,priorities looking at ridges of where we,can anchor and flank,and basically from mccarthy's bar which,is up on the claremont fire,bringing it down south and trying to,keep it out of the port,is the plan that's up by a little,grass valley reservoir and continuing,south in the southwest direction,and trying to connect the ridge lines,through there keeping it,basically south of laporte through there,through laporte area,and then continuing down essentially,down to,lake oroville and just utilizing road,systems and trying to,stop any south or east progression,that's currently where we're at right,now all of our resources have been,accounted for,and we've been assisting butte county,as well butte county sheriffs as well as,plymouth county sheriff's with,evacuations and uh priorities,and management evaluation points that,basically,ensure that uh we're doing our,advisories and,and uh mandatory

What are firefighters doing to take care of themselves? | Q&A with Cal Fire
What are firefighters doing to take care of themselves? | Q&A with Cal Fire
well firefighters inherently really want,to help the public in any way shape or,form they can,so they're they're fighting for a reason,and they know that so we'll work until,the until we can't work anymore,um the trick right now though is is,taking care of ourselves and each other,by making sure we're getting some rest,we're getting some reprieve a lot of the,firefighters have been out there and the,first responders in general,have been working double shifts um and,the trick is to getting them rested,so that they don't catch a cold even um,but also keeping them safe,uh given the current climate of,communicable diseases so they've been up,they've been operating as as kind of,family units as pods and whatnot,so uh they're really watching over each,other to make sure,we get a small break here and there work,as hard as we can when we can,to try and put as much of the fire out,as we can,well we we we talk to each other uh we,keep each other,in check we we know a lot about each,other's uh family lives and whatnot so,we're kind of constantly maybe trying to,keep,a real aspect or a normal aspect by by,having those conversations with each,other,also one of the things that's new to the,fire service in the last couple years is,our employee support services,we have an entire division of people,that are overwatching and looking at us,and bringing,support to us at our base camps they,bring support animals by we love that,something that firefighters really love,to see as well are signs and the signs,that the public make,is the best way for the public to,actually show us,uh their appreciation we'd love that um,it's just it's just great when you're on,a fire engine you've been working all,night long and you come back through,town and base camp and there are the,signs from the kids and the people it's,a fantastic feeling,uh the governor declaring state,emergency can help in many many,different ways it has,a cascading effect for resources coming,into the state,it has a cascaded effect for the public,and different resources that become,available for them,it's hard to narrow it down to just one,thing,and we really want the public to,recognize that a red flag warning in,california is,essentially the same as a tornado,warning in the east coast or a hurricane,warning,it is that serious especially with this,one coming through,uh we're expecting dry lightning over,the fire areas where we already have,firefighters working in,in hills and rural area what's going to,happen is if these,do occur we have to pull off the fire,line,and retreat to safety so that a,lightning strike doesn't,hurt any of us and the public we want to,make sure when thunder roars you go,indoors as the national,service promotes it's it's it's,it could become very dynamic,we could get new starts on top of the,starts we already have,the biggest component that comes with,these thunderstorms,that affects us and our fires is wind,and because the wind is not predictable,at that point it goes in,every direction that can be a,major contributing factor to the spread,of these wildfires and it was,when we had this first event come,through,the best thing the public can do is to,reduce their impact,or the possibility of creating a spark,this is where the one less spark means,one less wildfire,really plays into account simply driving,around your vehicle that might not be,in best working order and having a piece,of the exhaust fall off having a brake,rotor spark dragging a trailer chain,these simple things,can wreak havoc on an already very dry,very fire prone area so doing your very,best to minimize your impact or,possibility of creating a spark is what,we ask,well the first and foremost thing is to,be prepared california is no stranger to,any sort of natural disaster whether,it's fire flood or earthquake,so the best thing you can do is to have,a plan one of the ways you can do that,is you can look up,at our website readyforwildfire.org and,you can actually go through there and,there's a checklist and different,opportunities of things you can do,to go and build a go bag different,things you may not think about,having in a to-go bag but would catch,you off guard like maybe a second set of,your,prescriptions that are very hard to find,you want to have,water you want to have food you need to,take in consideration,your animals don't ever forget about,your four-legged friends,now when a wildfire is striking animals,uh obviously have an inherent sense that,something is wrong,so trying to capture a cat or a small,animal,to evacuate at a moment's notice is a,substantial challenge,so you really want to think ahead on,that and maybe have a carrier for that,animal,larger animals have a trailer hitched up,that sort of thing,but really for the foresight of having,the things that you need to leave in an,emergency is really important,one of the simplest things we learned,from the napa earthquakes was,if you have a strong earthquake and you,have glass in your bedroom,and all that glass suddenly

Cal Fire Ordered to Pay $15 Million Over 2007 Moonlight Fire Probe
Cal Fire Ordered to Pay $15 Million Over 2007 Moonlight Fire Probe
during a record fire season cal fire is,reeling from a loss,not on the fire lines but in court nbc,bay area investigative reporter jackson,vanderbecken shows us why cal fire,has been ordered to pay 15 million,dollars for essentially,framing a property owner to take the,blame for starting a wildfire,this was the moonlight fire back in 2007,it tore through 65 thousand acres of,forest land in plumas county cal fire's,investigative report,blamed the state's largest private,landowner sierra pacific industries,for sparking the fire when a,subcontractor's bulldozer,scraped a rock but sierra pacific says,it was the victim of a trail of fraud by,an agency,anxious to go after its deep pockets to,pay for firefighting costs,and provide seed money for a training,fund that was later shut down,and sierra pacific picked up some,surprising allies,former cal fire officials like tom,hoffman,we felt we couldn't just sit there and,watch and remain silent,the 23-year veteran was head of cal,fire's law enforcement division,at the time of the fire after he retired,he and another retired colleague,submitted this court brief,underscoring flaws in the moonlight,probe hoffman says he took heat from his,former colleagues,but he felt obligated to reinforce the,gravity of what one judge called,a vast array of improprieties like an,investigator destroying his notes,giving evasive and untruthful sworn,testimony,and stating in his final report that the,bulldozer operator took,the blame when he was on tape flatly,denying it,the contradictory statements,given by the investigator,and to me that's that's a cover-up,but in a twist sierra pacific agreed in,federal court to pay the government,100 million dollars in cash and forest,land,and pursue sanctions in state court,where it finally prevailed this month,a state judge ordered cal fire to pay 15,million dollars for its campaign,that forced sierra pacific to spend,countless hours,sifting through false and misleading,information to defend against,questionable findings hoffman says he's,amazed at cal fire's tenacity,in light of just all of this,damning evidence why the department,chose to fight this thing tooth and nail,is is just beyond me cal fire didn't,respond to our request for comet,but sierra pacific says it believes cal,fire has learned its lesson,for having pursued a wildfire,investigation,in a fraudulent manner although the,legal war may be over,hoffman says there's one question that,may never be resolved,we still don't know what caused this,fire jackson vanderbecken,nbc bay area news

Cal Fire Prepares for Fire Season
Cal Fire Prepares for Fire Season
situation we're in with cecile juliet,from cal fire,and cecile first of all thanks for being,here and let's talk about that uh,fire in the santa cruz mountains today,what were some of the challenges that,the firefighters were up against,well one of the major challenges they,were up against was the fact that it's,in such an inaccessible,area that terrain up in there in big,basin,is very difficult to get to so it took,our firefighters,at least an hour probably a little bit,more than that to even,access the fire fortunately we were able,to,access copter 106 which is out of our,santa clara unit which is just bordering,cal fire czu so they were able to come,in and make water drops,before our firefighters were able to,make access so in the middle of nowhere,any idea how that thing started,no we don't like to call,or speculate too much but it is a,possibility of course that it was a,smoldering hot spot,that was left over from the czu,lightning complex so many months ago,all right let's talk about that this was,right next to that area right in that,area,did that burn scar help uh act,like a uh like a control burn having,cleared out the area or did it hurt the,efforts i wouldn't say it either helped,or heard it i would say more,that yes it was within the burn area of,the czu lighting complex but even though,that area did burn significantly,there are still major patches that did,not burn,a tree could have partially burned while,part of that tree,is not completely burned so that's still,vegetation that can burn,so um it's incorrect to assume that just,because it's in the burn,area that that vegetation is not going,to burn there still plenty of vegetation,that is in the santa cruz mountains that,can still burn both within the burn,area and outside of the burn area what,were the conditions for firefighters was,it uh,especially hot uh windy what was it like,up there we did have those offshore,winds,which are hot and we did have a lot of,wind today,unfortunately it wasn't as warm as it,would be say in june or july,but it was warm and you know they had a,battle on their hands,um the fire did grow to at least three,acres at this point and we could have an,update and that could change later on,this evening,but you know again inaccessible terrain,lots of brown litter that's been,accumulating for more than a hundred,years,no no significant burn history in the,area for more than a hundred years,and that whole area could still burn,again,what's it what does it go through your,mind well here we are,may 2nd and we're already seeing these,spot fires,you're absolutely right about the fact,that it's may 2nd and we're already,dealing with,fire and this could continue as rob,mentioned,there is a red flag warning in the north,bay and inland,that red flag warning has not been,extended to us down here in cal fire ccu,in san mateo and santa cruz counties,but we're still going to have winds we,are still dry and we have beefed up our,staffing levels to the point where we,normally would be,at least halfway through june so,we are already anticipating and acting,like we're already,in our peak wildfire season so that,should tell you,uh what we think of the conditions right,now yeah we've been talking about that,i hope everybody keeps that in mind,cecile juliet,from cal fire thanks very much for being,here today you're welcome

August 15, 2022 - CAL FIRE Report
August 15, 2022 - CAL FIRE Report
Coming up on this week's CAL FIRE,Report, the latest on the state's large
fire activity and upcoming fire weather.,A brief word from our firefighters
on the front lines,of one of the largest wildfires
so far this year.,Learn about a new tool to get up to date
information on fuel reduction projects,,and how CAL FIRE is investing
in college programs across the state,to provide
hands on training for the next generation.,Thank you for joining us for the CAL FIRE
Report for Monday, August 15th, 2022.,I'm Battalion Chief Issac Sanchez.,California continues to see a steady
increase in fire activity this year,,although we've still seen significantly
fewer acres burned compared to this time,last year.,We're currently standing
at just over 5400 fires in 2022,for a total of more than 198,000 acres
burned.,Compared to last year at this time,
where we saw,nearly 6000 fires for a total of over 1.4
million acres burned.,So, again, great job,,everybody, for staying diligent out there
and preventing the next big wildfire.,Currently, firefighters are,actively engaged in battling
eight large wildfires across the state,,the largest of which
is the McKinney Fire in Siskiyou County.,Firefighters are nearing full containment
with minimal fire activity,being observed today.,The McKinney Fire is 95%
contained at just over 60,000 acres.,CAL FIRE is also in unified command,with the Six Rivers National Forest
on the SRF lightning complex.,That complex is made up of 12 separate
fires.,The SRF Lightning Complex is currently at
19,272 acres and 17% contained.,However, upcoming warmer,
drier weather in the area,is expected to increase fire activity
on the complex fires today.,This week, many parts of the state are
expected to see extremely hot temperatures,and we have the potential to see
thunderstorms in the northeastern areas,of the state Tuesday afternoon
into Wednesday and Thursday.,It's more important than ever
in these high risk days,to be extra diligent
to avoid sparking new wildfires.,Did you know that around 95%
of all wildfires in,California are caused by human activity,
most of which are started by accident?,Your actions can limit
the sparks that cause wildfires.,Use outdoor equipment before 10 a.m.,and never on hot and windy days.,Remove
any dragging parts from your vehicle.,Secure any loose chains.,Don't pull your vehicle over into dry
grass or brush.,And never leave a campfire unattended.,To learn more prevention
tips, visit ReadyForWildfire.org.,The work
of firefighting crews on the ground,and in the air is critical to combating
the large wildfires across the state.,In Notes from the Frontline,,we give you an inside look at life for CAL
FIRE crews during large incidents.,Our objective today
is to move down the fire line on the hose,right here and mop up 200 feet in.,Driving up,
we seen the big mushroom cloud, obviously,,and that's coming in from Merced,
probably 50 foot flame lengths.,It was running up in the crown.,I actually live in Mid Pines
about a mile away,,so I kind of know the area,
I know the fuel content.,You know,
we're discussing that on the way up,,looking at the smoke,
seeing what it's doing.,And then before we got dispatched,
we were watching it on the webcam,out of Mt. Bullion
and looking at the wind direction.,And so we're kind of getting an idea,of where it was headed
and where the fire spread was going.,That nerve racking?,With your your home was like right down
the street there?,It was pretty nerve wracking.,If it would have went on the other side
of 140 would have been pretty bad.,But just watching it
and it was blowing south.,I was optimistic,
hoping that they could hold 140,and then getting up here was good to
to be in the area.,We did have our firefighter crews
that were out doing performing,for defensible space,,which helped out tremendously
on some homes that really needed it.,And some of those homes are still standing
because of those firefighters,that came out
and did that defensible space around.,Our crews, firefighter crews are doing
tremendous work. Yeah.,And the dozers, I mean,,you go around all the houses around here,
you see a ring around all the houses.,The dozers are what you know,
on the initial fire.,The dozers are the ones who are in there
doing the dirty work,and obviously the
aircraft, the people above.,CAL FIRE engages in,fuels reduction work and fire prevention
activities year round.,Preventing uncontrolled wildfire
spread and CAL FIRE,protection
areas is a vital part of our mission.,These activities include the removal,or reduction of overgrown vegetation
through the use of prescribed fire,,tree thinning,
pruning, chipping and roadway clearance.,In order to attract this valuable work
being done in communities,across the state, CAL FIRE has developed
a Fuels Reduction Project Viewer Tool,,which provides stakeholders
with an in-depth,look at the work in progress
this year, as well as completed projects,from the last fiscal year.,This new tool is available by clicking
