RED FLAG Pre-Deployment

On November 2, 2011, LAFD Crew 3 was pre-deployed with numerous other resources throughout Southern California due to a moderate Santa Ana wind event.  

Crew 3 was staffed up at 0700hrs in preparation of this wind event. Late the night before 3 small fires were contained just as the winds began to blow across the valley.  Shortly after Crew 3 was mobilized, they traveled to the Lake View Terrace area to check on and mop-up 2 of these 1/2 acre fires. 

Shortly after noon, Crew 3 responded to a one acre fire located in the Hansen Dam Recreation Area.  Members assisted resources from the LAFD, LACoFD and the USFS in quickly gaining control of this Brush Fire.  With the coordinated effort of these three agencies the fire was quickly knocked down.  Crew 3 assisted with line construction and mop-up.
