Crews will continue to prep and add additional depth to secure lines north of Mt. Wilson and in the northeast between Highway 2 and Big Rock Creek. These continued strategic firing operations are done to secure the fire's perimeter from the fire making a run at the fire lines from unburned fuels within. Crew, engines, equipment and aircraft work in coordination to build holding lines, plumb the lines with water, and while firing aviation assets slow the movement of the main fire. Firefighters will continue to focus on strengthening the lines where the Mt. Wilson's firing operation occurred. A focus of our efforts today and tomorrow will be securing the west side of the fire before winds shift to the northeast Sunday. Engines will be patrolling for smoke near the foothill communities. Repopulation efforts continue with help from Los Angeles County Occupancy support. For more information visit:
