Cal Fire is reporting on Monday September 16 2024:
“Firefighters in the Trabuco Canyon area have been actively constructing direct fire lines. Helicopter operations have effectively supported firefighting efforts, keeping the fire behavior moderated throughout the warmer time of the day.
This morning’s marine layer dissipated, allowing sunlight through and dropping humidity levels. Despite this brief warm-up, an approaching cold front is expected to bring some light showers and cooler temperatures. Overall, cooler weather and increased humidity are expected to decrease fire activity, although the specific impact will depend on the amount of moisture the fire receives.
Night shift will continue constructing direct lines in critical areas such as Harding Truck Trail, Trabuco Canyon, and Cold Springs Canyon to build towards increasing containment. Firefighters will actively patrol the fire perimeter to continuously assess conditions and respond to any potential flare-ups.
Firefighters continue to battle the Airport Fire on multiple fronts, both from the air using aircraft and on the ground with crews and dozers. Additionally, there are many hidden hazards caused by the fire that may not be immediately visible. Please stay off trails in the affected area as firefighters work to gain containment.
Governor Gavin Newsom has secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help ensure the availability of vital resources to suppressing the Airport Fire.”
