Sayre Fire (CA-LFD-1460) has burned 9,297 acres and is 30% contained. 7,500 residences and 200 outbuildings are threatened, 15 residences and 1 commercial building damaged, and 509 residences, 10 commercial properties, and 110 outbuildings have been destroyed. Last night, the fire continued to burn actively on the east perimeter towards the Marek Burn and east of the 14 Freeway towards San Fernando Road. The burning out operation was successful due to favorable burning conditions.

Triangle Complex (CA-ORC-75221) The Freeway Fire and the Landfill Fire have been made into the Triangle Complex and will be managed by CalFire IICMT 6 (Hodson). The fire has burned 10,475 acres and is 0% contained. The fire is being pushed to the West and South by gusty Northeast winds. There are 3,500 residences and 100 commercial properties area threatened, 100 residences and one commercial property damaged and 60 residences destroyed. Major power lines are being impacted, as well as 3 high pressure gas lines in the Santa Ana River Canyon. Highways 91, 71, 241, 57, and Imperial Highway are all being impacted by the fire.

Just goes to show what a little wind will do. Things can change so fast. For the most part, our fall fire season has been nothing. We are usually on assignment until Thanksgiving. Not a single fire this fall.

I'm not sure how long Frontline 01 will be in Galveston. Crews have started rotating in. Any Frontline personnel interested in working two weeks in Galveston, contact me.

I will be in Galveston for about a week. I can be contacted via email or cell phone.

Stay Safe.
