Publication Type: News

Ayer fue otro día exitoso, con una actividad mínima del fuego, lo que permitió a los bomberos progresar en la seguridad de McKern Road y el aumento de la contención del incendio de Dolan. 

Hay pronóstico de vientos desde el norte en el día de hoy, las cuadrillas continúan con las actividades planificadas de liquidación, contención y aseguración del perímetro sur del incendio. Se espera que las temperaturas estén por debajo de los 90 grados, con un aumento progresivo en los próximos días, alcanzando los 100 grados el lunes, posiblemente. Las condiciones extremadamente cálidas y secas puedan crear que los focos de calor se activen e incrementen el comportamiento del fuego. Los bomberos se mantienen alertos a cualquier incremento de la actividad del fuego a través de varios puntos de observación en el incendio de Dolan que abarca cerca de 200 millas cuadradas a lo largo de la costa central. Con el consenso de "buscar y destruir", los bomberos continúan utilizando la tecnología infrarroja junto a la observación aérea para detectar focos de calor y enviar bomberos para atacar estos puntos cerca del perímetro. Los gerentes pueden cuentan con varias herramientas para hacer esto: envío de cuadrillas y equipos en UTV (vehículos todo terreno) para llegar a estos puntos de incendio de difícil acceso o proporcionar el apoyo continuo de helicópteros que lanzan agua en áreas más inaccesibles.

Evacuaciones: La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Monterey levantó la advertencia de evacuación para la Zona 28. Todas las demás ÓRDENES y ADVERTENCIAS de evacuación siguen en efecto. Para obtener información actualizada sobre la evacuación, consulte el mapa interactivo de OES o llame al 211.

Cierres: El Bosque Nacional Los Padres extendió su cierre de recreación hasta el 1 de Octubre del 2020. La carretera Nacimiento-Ferguson está cerrada a todo el tráfico desde la carretera 1 hasta la línea fronteriza de la base de Fort Hunter Liggett.

Dolan Fire Update September 26 2020

Related Incident:
Publication Type: News

Firefighters had another successful day with minimal fire activity yesterday which allowed them to make good progress on holding and securing McKern Road to increase containment on the Dolan Fire.

With winds forecasted out of the north today, crews are continuing the methodical work of mopping up, holding and securing the southern fire perimeter. Temperatures are expected to be in the low 90s and will continue an upward trend in the next several days potentially reaching triple digits on Monday. Extremely hot and dry conditions could mean pockets of heat ignite into flames and increase fire behavior. Firefighters remain diligent watching for any increase in fire behavior from numerous vantage points on the Dolan Fire that covers approximately 200 square miles along the Central Coast. With a mantra of “seek and destroy” firefighters continue the use infrared technology in conjunction with aerial reconnaissance to find pockets of heat and send crews in to attack hot spots near the perimeter. Fire managers are able to use a variety of tools to tackle these hot spots including sending crews and equipment on UTVs (Utility Terrain Vehicle) to access the fire in rugged terrain or providing the ongoing support of helicopters doing water drops for fire in more inaccessible areas.

Evacuations: The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office lifted the evacuation warning for Zone 28. All other evacuations ORDERS and WARNINGS in effect. For current evacuation information view the OES interactive map or call 211.

Closures: The Los Padres National Forest extended the forest recreation closure through October 1, 2020. Nacimiento-Ferguson Road is closed to all traffic from Highway 1 to the Fort Hunter Liggett base boundary line. For more information visit https://roads.dot.ca.gov/
