Intelligence & Homeland Security Professional | Afghanistan Veteran | Passionate About Helping Communities and Organizations Mitigate Threats And Thrive
#CaliforniaWatch | The #ParkFire has now grown to become the largest #California #Wildfire since 2021, and the eighth largest wildfire in recorded state history. The Park Fire has burned over 307,000 acres (480 square miles), and has consumed at least an additional 4,000-5,000 acres every hour. Some burn rate estimates are higher. At this point, containment of the fire is 0%. A fire this size with no containment is a rarity for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). That is not a criticism. This is a very difficult fire to get in front of fast enough with sufficient resources. Multiple attempts to keep the fire from jumping roadways have been unsuccessful. Fortunately, the fire is not currently threatening any cities or interstate highways, but that could change. Multiple evacuations have been ordered as a precaution. As an indication of how serious this fire is, CAL FIRE typically only has one incident management team (IMT) assigned to the more serious fires. They have two on this one. IMT #3 was activated to respond the Park Fire Thursday, and IMT #4 was just activated last night to assist. There are now nearly 2,500 personnel assigned to fighting this single fire. No word on any Army National Guard activations as of yet, but we're standing by should we be needed to assist. That's what we do. You can find more information on the fire at CAL FIRE webpage at https://lnkd.in/gBmb29eX. "Always Ready, On The Way!"
As the size and complexity of the #Parkfire continues to grow #CALFIRE Incident Management Team 4 (IMT4) is being activated to support CAL FIRE IMT3.

Collaborative leader, advancing people and programs to protect and enhance public health and the environment in Arizona
Healthy Arizona forests protect watersheds and provide habitat for wildlife. Each year forest managers deploy low-intensity, controlled burns to help maintain forest health - but before every planned burn, they consult ADEQ to minimize the impacts of smoke from those burns. Join us on October 2 to learn and ask your questions about how we collaborate to plan and execute prescribed burns.
#NEW - Arizonans invited to join the conversation on #RXBurns in Arizona 🔥 This October, ADEQ and the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, in collaboration with the #USDA #ForestService, will host a hybrid community meeting in Camp Verde to discuss how prescribed burns are planned and how smoke is managed in #AZ. Learn how these controlled burns help protect our forests and what they mean for #airquality in your community. 🗓️ Mark your calendars for October 2nd. Learn more about the event ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gT2EtrcU #ADEQNews #AZ #RXBurns #AZFire #WildfirePrevention #AZRXBurns

What have we learned from post-fire restoration projects? … Small private landowners often lack the funding, expertise, or time to undertake restoration work. To address these barriers, California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan called for the establishment of Emergency Forest Restoration Teams (EFRTs). In June, a report was released on lessons learned from three pilot EFRTs that provides key recommendations for future EFRTs to be successful. … Learn more and read the report. >> https://lnkd.in/gj8-TZ83 … USDA Forest Service California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) UCANR … #WildfireTaskForce #TaskForceProgress #ResilientForests

🚨Emergency, Structural & Forest Fire Management Expert🔥| AEM Sr Federal Manager US Fire | Certified Technical Sales Professional RFID | Committed to Enhancing Wildfire Safety
🔥 I wholeheartedly agree with this perspective! Prescribed fire is indeed an essential tool for managing our forests and lands, significantly reducing the risk of larger wildfires. The advantages of this practice are extensive: it fosters the growth of native plants, enhances wildlife habitats, and improves soil quality. By carefully managing the accumulation of flammable materials, we create safer landscapes for both people and wildlife alike. As we navigate the ongoing challenges of wildfire season, it’s vital that we embrace and advocate for prescribed fire practices as a key component of our wildfire management strategy. Together, we can promote healthier ecosystems and protect our communities! 🌳🌞 Let’s continue the conversation about effective wildfire mitigation strategies! #WildfireManagement #PrescribedFire #EcosystemHealth #CommunitySafety
In the peak of fire season, we are seeing the real impact that prescribed burns are having on mitigating catastrophic wildfire. … In this Action News Now segment, “firefighters say a prescribed burn they did last fall near Cohasset helped protect the community from the Park Fire.” The prescribed burn was critical in giving people more time to evacuate. … Learn more about this California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) vegetation management project and watch the news segment. >> https://lnkd.in/g9ijbxt9 … #WildfireTaskForce #TaskForceProgress #PrescribedBurn #ParkFire

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) firefighters completed 30 acres of prescribed fire today. This is part of our C-234 (Intermediate Firing Methods) class that teaches the students how to use common firing devices and techniques used in back firing operations and prescribed burns. This is required for new company officers and firefighters in specialty positions. We also used the ALERTCalifornia cameras in the area to monitor real time conditions. As seen in the timelapse video below we get to see what the smoke column looked like. Smoke conditions can be a good indicator of fire behavior and can give insight into fire potential before the initial units arrive on scene. This is one of the many tools firefighters and emergency command centers use to keep our residents safe. #IgniteYourPassion #CALFIRECareers #PrescribedFire UC San Diego County of San Diego Nick Schuler, CFO, PIO Christine McMorrow Robert Carvalho Brent Pascua Thomas Shoots Brooke Carrasco-Hall Chuck Westerheide

Heading out for training on cutting fire lines on the fringes of Camp Pendleton with California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)! Dozers are a critical tool in the forest firefighting arsenal. Not only do they help crews access fires, but they can help contain them by cutting fire lines like this one. Fires need fuel—which usually comes from decaying trees, brush, or grass. By using dozers to remove the fuel strategically, CALFIRE crews can stop fires from spreading. Every year, before fire season, all dozer crews train in real-world scenarios before they’re quite literally in the line of fire. #betterdirtworld

Based on the photo (Left to Right)…… 1) water damaged M series: this is particularly hazardous because metallic fuels don’t react well with water. This one is a candidate for exigent disposal. 2) similar M series device in better condition. The biggest safety concern here (besides metallic fuels) is the quantity of explosive powder contained within. It might be full (several grams) or it might only have a few hundred milligrams. There is no quality control with these types of devices hence the broad spectrum of functioning. From a legal perspective these are usually classified as ‘banned or prohibited substances’ and can not be legally put into commerce. 3) appears to be an explosive pest control device (aka bird bomb or seal bomb). Legal to possess and use with the proper licences. Generally, not for sale to the general public. 4 and 5) Probably legal(ish) consumer fireworks - Hazard Class 1.4 therefore exempt from Federal licensing laws. Monikers like “M1000” or “TNT” are merely marking ploys to get consumers to purchase them. Additionally, the brightly colored label is indicative of consumer fireworks but that doesn’t guarantee it’s been overloaded thus exceeding the explosive powder weights allowed for the exemption.
Not the same! Every year people in California are injured by dangerous explosive devices that they think are “just fireworks.” While these items might look similar, each one packs a different punch. If you don’t know what it is don’t touch it! Take some guesses in the comments where you think each item came from and the damage they could do. Bryan Gougé Nicholas S.
