Fire at Mt Wilson Update, Forest Closures Continues.
#WilsonFire remains a threat as RedFlag conditions persist into next week. The Fire is currently 70% contained 50 acres 331 personnel assigned. Today ground crews assisted by aircraft continue to mop up, strengthen containment lines and monitor hotspots within the fire perimeter.
The Wilson Fire has 7 Hotshot hand crews 14 Engines 9 Bulldozers and 4 aircraft assigned. Due to the high temperatures, mountain winds there’s still potential for the fire to grow outside of the containment area. With the fire danger and bulldozer crews working on the mountainside, potentially causing rocks to fall, the forest closure remains in effect.
Today 2 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) incursion occurred today within the Wilson Fire temporary flight restriction (TFR) area and the operators were detained. There were no reports of any collisions, unfortunately fire personnel had to focus efforts on UAS rather than putting the fire out. https://www.fs.fed.us/managing-land/fire/aviation/unmanned-aircraft-systems-uas
