Incident Management Team:  
Long/Lat:  
Current Situation: Due to extreme fire behavior, firefighting efforts have been focused, and will remain
focused, on the protection of life, and structures. Favorable overnight weather conditions
contributed to minimal fire growth, which allowed crews to reinforce containment lines.
Crews will continue to be challenged with steep terrain, limited access, and extreme fire
behavior. Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds will continue across the area throughout the
day.
 † Preliminary estimates show 370 total structures destroyed. However, damage assessment
for the affected area is 15% complete showing 44 confirmed structures destroyed.
