Zaca Fire: Emergency Briefing Call Posted: 21 Aug 2007 01:24 AM CDT Zaca Fire: Emergency Briefing Call ::Great update at The Ojai Post: Zaca Fire: Emergency Briefing Call The Governor's Office just hosted an Emergency Briefing Call at 2:30, concluding at 2:54 pm. Following are notes from the call: Yesterday morning, the Governor's Office received a request to declare an emergency in Ventura County, which was signed by the Governor yesterday. This follows a declaration for SB County on August 3rd. The #1 Priority for Unified Command is the southern edge of the fire, which is "almost buttoned up", with two miles of open fire line to secure. #2 Priority is in the northeast, the Richardson Zone, which spans both counties. They are confident on having a "good handle on it by tonight." #3 Priority is the northwest, which is rough terrain. The plan is still being established. A coordination team has been established at VC Fairgrounds, working on the possibility of the fire expanding into Matilija Canyon. The teams are being challenged by an active Fire Weather Watch. Challenges faced include difficult terrain and "no recorded fire history, exceeding 75 to 100 years" for much of it. What is going well is the total communication effort, with no breakdowns recorded. The DC-10 has flown every day "for the past few days". Forest Service Air Operations gives it high praise, but warns that it is not a "silver bullet", but a tool in the toolbox which is being used effectively and well. There are bulldozer contingency lines just about completed at Wills and Rice Canyon, at least 8-10 miles as the crow flies from the fire. All lines are holding, and the fire has not crossed Highway 33. Trigger points have been established, which would give the Ojai community 72 hour notice if the fire does come in. Highway 33 has a hard closure at Pine Mountain, including closure to residents, until the burnout is done. Gravel trucks, which have been watched traveling 33 would not be able to get past the hard closure were they to travel up that far. I believe that the 33 is not closed at Wheeler Gorge right now, but has been moved up to Pine Mountain, so that Rose Valley residents can reach their homes and farms.

Incident Commanders are planning a backfire operation along the Sierra Madre Ridge to contain the northern progress of the fire. On the northeast perimeter, the fire has actively burned in the Dick Smith Wilderness and is now less than a mile from the eastern boundary of the wilderness. This evening, firefighters will continue backfiring from the Cuyama Lookout Road towards Highway 33 along Dry Canyon. On the southeast perimeter, firefighters suspended backfire operations today near Potrero Seco Ranch and Pine Mountain Summit due to spot fires over the established dozer lines. All spot fires have been contained except for one. Tonight, firefighters will continue backfiring from Pine Mountain Summit to Ozena. These backfire operations are intended to provide a good secure line on the northeast and southeast perimeters of the fire. Today, hand crews constructed fireline directly next to the fire's edge along the south eastern portion of the fire. Secondary dozer lines were constructed below the direct handline in support of obtaining containment objectives. Some burning occurred in the interior section of the southwestern area of the fire. Rehabilitation of firelines and contingency lines will begin tomorrow. Due to predicted low humidity, a red flag warning has been issued for the fire area until Wednesday night. Firefighting resources staged at the Ventura County Fairgrounds are creating and reopening fuel breaks, clearing roads, and providing structure protection. The firefighters will also be available for initial attack for Ventura County and the Los Padres National Forest.

InciWeb: Wildfire-related Stress: Tips for Talking With Children Posted: 20 Aug 2007 06:13 PM CDT InciWeb: Wildfire-related Stress: Tips for Talking With Children: Wildfire-related Stress: Tips for Talking With Children Incident Information Incident: Zaca It's important for parents and guardians to know that children can be particularly vulnerable to stress as a result of the fires in Santa Barbara County. Children may suffer from anxiety because they are concerned about the fire. "It's important for adults to take time with children to help them through this difficult time," said Suzanne Grimmesey-Kirk, MFT, Division Chief, Adults and Children Services from the County's Department of Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services. Caretakers of children should be alert to signs of trouble and how to handle them. For children ages five or younger, watch for the following behaviors: crying more frequently than usual, clinging, having nightmares, showing excessive fear of the dark, fear of being alone, changing appetites, speaking with difficulty, or returning to outgrown behaviors such as bed-wetting or thumb-sucking. Children ages five to 11 may exhibit increased irritability, aggression, and competition with their siblings for parental attention. They may also show anxiety through whining, withdrawing from their peers, and losing interest in normal activities. Those 11 to 18 may show outright rebellion, physical problems, or sleep disturbances. The following suggestions may help to reduce stress in children: Keep children informed about what is happening. Explanations should be in simple language. Encourage children to talk about wildfire-related events. Children need an opportunity to discuss their experiences and feelings, as well as ask questions, in a safe, accepting environment. Remain calm and reassuring. Children take their cues from adults, especially young children. Reassure them. Parents can help reassure children by telling them they are safe, holding and hugging them frequently, and making bedtime a special moment of calm and comfort. If children don't mention the fire, it can help to ask them about it. If parents don't bring up the subject, children can be left with misinformation. You may be surprised at how much your child has heard from others. Focus attention on the helpers, like the police, firemen, doctors, nurses, paramedics and volunteers. It's reassuring to know about caring people who are helping in this world. Spend some time each day giving each child your undivided attention, even if just for a few minutes. Share experiences, reaffirm your love, and make plans together. Parents and guardians must take care of their own needs, dealing with their own reactions as fully as possible. This will make people better able to cope and help their children. They should take care of their physical health by eating healthfully, drinking plenty of fluids, getting enough rest and trying to do things they enjoy. They should avoid using drugs or alcohol to feel better.

Incident Commanders are developing contingency plans for a backfire operation along the Cottonwood Road on Sierra Madre Ridge. On the northeast perimeter, the fire continues to be active in the Dick Smith Wilderness, one mile west of Highway 33. Today (Monday), the strategy is to continue a backfire operation from Cuyama Peak Road in Dry Canyon towards Highway 33 and a backfire operation from Highway 33 north to Ozena.
