Incident Information:

Start / Report Date: Aug. 18, 2020 Cause: Unknown

Fuels Involved: Chaparral, Brush, Timber understory

Size: 31,005

Location: Hwy 1(MM32.20) N of Limekiln State Park, 10 miles S of Big Sur

Containment: 35%

Injuries: 3

Structures Destroyed: 8

Total Personnel: 904

Resources:

Hand Crews: 11

Engines: 66

Dozers: 8

Helicopters: 10

Water Tenders: 22

Current Situation:

Overnight saw calm conditions and fire activity was minimal. Crews were able to continue to enhance containment lines and hold previous work. Today’s weather forecasts a marine layer up to 2,000 feet which could linger through most of the day, suppressing fire activity in the fire’s lower elevations. Above 2,000 feet weather is expected to continue to be warmer and drier with light winds throughout the day. An infrared flight was completed last night showing fire growth of a few hundred acres.

Last night crews in the north end of the fire continued reinforcing containment lines along McWay Ridge and “mopping up” (ensuring areas where fire has moved through had little potential to burn again). In the Partington area crews finished clearing around infrastructure and constructing indirect line. Crews also patrolled along Highway 1 and continued to keep fire out of Lucia and the Hermitage and worked on the southern contingency lines.

Today’s deeper inversion is expected to hold smoke over the fire area which may inhibit helicopter support into some areas during much of the day. The inversion will help to keep fire activity lower and potential spotting to fifty feet or less. Much of the fire is currently backing down slopes, burning vegetation at a much lower intensity. Rolling material (burning logs and vegetation) moving off the extremely steep slopes and igniting unburned fuels below continues to be the primary cause of fire growth.

Most of the fire growth is occurring in the Ventana Wilderness and the area around Cone Peak. Today’s plan is to insert several Hot Shot crews into the wilderness to begin direct line construction in that area. Crews will also continue work on the contingency line south of Prewitt Ridge between South Coast Ridge Road and Highway 1 and a half mile south of Alms Ridge. Both dozers and hand crews are being used to build the primary line on “No Name Ridge” which runs west to Highway 1 from the Cone Peak Road. This line is north of Nacimiento Fergusson Road.

An excessive heat watch has been issued for this area and temperatures are expected to be in the 90’s along the coast and low hundreds inland from Friday through Monday afternoon. Winds are forecast to remain mild. Fire activity is expected to increase with this change in weather conditions. Firefighting operations are being adjusted as necessary to ensure continued and increased containment throughout the weekend.

Updates and Meetings: Fire Information is producing two daily written updates. To request an update, email 2020.dolan@firenet.gov and provide your email address.

Weather: The marine inversion on the west flank of the fire is at 2,000 feet today and may not lift throughout the day. The east flank of the fire and above 2,000 feet is seeing much hotter and drier conditions during the day.

Monday a mandatory evacuation order went into effect south of Nacimiento-Fergusson Road, west of South Coast Ridge to Prewitt Ridge including Alms Ridge due to increased fire behavior and winds. Highway 1 remains closed with an expanded hard closure south to Pacific Valley Station. Rock slides, rolling debris, heavy fire traffic and repair crews working adjacent to and within the roadway are a continued safety concern throughout the Highway 1 closure.

Forest Order Number 05-07-51-20-19 remains in effect.

Smoke: The air quality in communities around the fire is forecast to range from good to moderate. Smoke intensity will continue to depend on local fire activity.

Fire Information

Dolan Fire: Fire activity yesterday was once again moderated due to the marine layer in the western perimeter and a smoke inversion over the eastern perimeter. The fire continues to spread to the east into the Ventana Wilderness. For detailed information on the Dolan fire: inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7018

Smoke

Similar conditions are expected today as yesterday, but change is on the horizon with warmer and drier conditions and limited marine layer stratus and fog to the forecast area in the next few days. Smoke conditions throughout the forecast area are predicted to see Good to Moderate air quality. High level haze may be observed due to regional fires. Intensity of the smoke will continue to depend on the activity of the fires in and around the forecast area.

Other

Air quality may change unexpectedly. If you begin to notice health effects from smoke, you are encouraged to follow the "actions to protect yourself" listed below.

Today saw minimal forward movement in most of the fire area. Much of the fire is currently backing down slopes, burning vegetation at a much lower intensity. The primary cause of the fire expansion was rolling material (burning logs and vegetation) moving off the extremely steep slopes and igniting unburned fuels below. Crews continued to build contingency lines both by hand and with dozers in the south area of the fire. Much of the northern line is now contained and helicopters were able to do some water drops on the eastern most flank of the fire in the Ventana Wilderness. Suppression repair work also began today in the Lucia area.

Crews continued work along the north section of the fire, patrolling and putting out hot spots near the containment lines along McWay Ridge at North Coast Ridge Road. The line has been completed and unburned vegetation has been fired out. Firefighters have also completed clearing of vegetation and other fuels around infrastructure in the Partington area. Much of this area is now contained and crews are moving to other priorities.

The southern containment lines near Lucia are holding well and suppression repair work has begun in this area. A contingency line south of Prewitt Ridge between South Coast Ridge Road and Highway 1 and a half mile south of Alms Ridge was started. Crews continued to work on the primary indirect containment line north of Naciemento Ferguson Road and along the road to Cone Peak. Both dozers and hand crews are being used to build this line on “No Name Ridge” which runs east and west to Highway 1 from the Cone Peak Road.

The east side of the fire continues to burn further into the Ventana Wilderness. Helicopters were able to do some water drops in the Lost Valley area today once the smoke cleared in the late afternoon. The fire is primarily backing in this area and crews hope to build hand line along the fire perimeter, going direct, to minimize the fire size and expansion. The crews will remain out near the fire’s edge (spiking out) and staying in this area for several days at a time. The heavy smoke and haze prevented hand crews from being dropped into this area today, but the plan is to get crews into the wilderness as soon as possible now that the northern perimeter is contained and excellent progress is being made on the southern edge of the fire.

An excessive heat watch has been issued for this area and temperatures are expected to be in the 90’s along the coast and low hundreds inland from Friday through Monday afternoon. Winds are forecast to remain mild. Fire activity is expected to increase with this change in weather conditions and firefighting operations are being adjusted as necessary to ensure continued and increased containment throughout the weekend. 

Updates and Meetings: Fire Information is producing two daily written updates. To request an update, email 2020.dolan@firenet.gov and provide your email address.

Weather: The marine inversion on the west flank of the fire remained about 1,200 feet deep for most of the day. The east flank of the fire and above 1,200 feet is seeing much hotter and drier conditions during the day. Weather is expected to be similar tomorrow with lower temperatures and higher humidity below 1,200 feet, and higher temperatures and lower humidity above the marine inversion.

Total Personnel: 933

Current Situation:

Overnight fire activity was minimal. Today’s weather forecasts a low lying marine inversion, suppressing fire activity below 1200 feet in elevation. Above 1200 feet weather is expected to be warmer and drier with light east, southeast winds in the morning and winds out of the northwest in the afternoon.

Crews reinforced containment lines on the north side of the fire overnight and completed indirect line construction and infrastructure clearing in the Partington area. The line has been completed and unburned vegetation has been fired out. The completion of this work has allowed resources to be shifted east working towards Lost Valley.

The fire has been growing approximately 1,000 acres each day. Most of this growth has been into the Ventana Wilderness. Several Hot Shot crews will be flown into the wilderness area today. They will be hiking to the fire from the landing zone and begin the construction of line on the fire’s edge. The plan is for additional crews to begin work to the northeast from North Coast Ridge Road.

Firefighters will also be hard at work securing the southern edge of the fire south of Hermitage. This line will be tied into highway one and is the final phase of line construction around the Hermitage.

A ridge of high pressure will be building over California during the next few days bringing much warmer temperatures, lower humidity and dissipation of the marine layer.

Current Situation:

A mandatory evacuation order went into effect this afternoon south of Nacimiento-Fergusson Road, west of South Coast Ridge to Prewitt Ridge including Alms Ridge due to increased fire behavior and winds. Highway 1 remains closed with expanded hard closure south to Pacific Valley Station. Rolling rocks are a continued safety concern throughout the Highway 1 closure.

 The fire has progressed south and east towards San Antonio Creek drainage. Today the marine layer remained in place decreasing fire activity below 1500 feet with fire activity predicted to increase overnight at higher elevations.

Crews continued work along the north section of the fire, reinforcing containment lines along the McWay drainage. The line has been completed and unburned vegetation has been fired out. Firefighters have also completed clearing of vegetation and other fuels around infrastructure in the Partington area. The completion of this work will free resources up to be shifted to the southern portion of the fire which is now the highest priority.

The east side continues to burn further into the Ventana Wilderness. As the northern and southern perimeters are secured, the firefighting effort will shift to address the fire’s movement into the Ventana Wilderness. The work on Nacimiento Fergusson Road and the forest trail and road system is the beginning of this effort with more clearing completed today. If successful, these actions will help to check the southeasterly spread of the fire.

Today three years ago, Los Padres National Forest Battalion Chief Gary Helming tragically lost his life while returning home from a fire assignment. Gary was killed when a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction blew a tire and swerved head-on into his vehicle. We can honor battalion chief Helming’s life by being extra cautious when traveling on roadways and ask the public to do the same. This is a reminder that driving safety is critical at all times.

Last night’s marine layer helped decrease fire activity. Crews conducted a tactical firing option along the north

section, to reinforce the containment line along the McWay drainage. Firefighters cleared vegetation and other

fuels around infrastructure in the Partington area.

Fire activity is increasing along the southeast section. Firefighters are working on containment lines around the

Twin Peak area, including along the Nacimiento Fergusson Road which will potentially be used to stop the

spread of the fire as it burns south. Residence in the area may see or smell an increase in smoke as fire activity

increases. Fire crews are constructing lines on the southeast corner of the fire to protect local communities and

other values at risk.

The east side continues to burn further into the Ventana Wilderness. As the north and south perimeters are

secured, the firefighting effort will shift to address the fire’s movement into the Ventana Wilderness. The work

on Nacimiento Fergusson Road and the forest trail and road system is the beginning of this effort.

Today three years ago, Los Padres National Forest Battalion Chief Gary Helming tragically lost his life while

returning home from a fire assignment. Gary was killed when a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction blew

a tire and swerved head-on into his vehicle. We can honor battalion chief Helming’s life by being extra cautious

when traveling on roadways and ask the public to do the same. This is a reminder that driving safety is critical

at all times.

Highway 1 remains closed. Firefighters and cooperating agencies are working diligently to open the road as

soon as is safely possible. Rolling rocks are a continued safety concern throughout the highway closure. The

public’s support is appreciated.

The fire poses a risk to multiple businesses, parks, recreational sites, and communication infrastructure as well

as the communities of Hermitage and Lucia in the south, and Partington Ridge in the north. Among natural

resources threatened are the Ventana Wilderness, coastal watershed, and habitat for threatened and

endangered species, including the California condor.

Later this week California Interagency Incident Command Team 2 will transition command of the Dolan Fire to

Pacific Northwest Team 2 (PNW2). PNW2 will shadow CIIMT2 on Wednesday and assume command of the

incident Thursday morning.
