As the firefighters progressed up the stairway they encountered near zero

minutes to get a knockdown on the fire. Firefighters
spent the next 5 hours overhauling the structure and extinguishing all of the
hot spots. Due to the extensive damage to the roof, the entire roof and tiles had to be removed. The fire was confined to the both attic's and one room causing extensive damage to the roof structure. There were no injuries and all companies were released from the fire.
La Habra Heights Firefighters remained on scene
throughout the night to extinguish any hot spot and prevent a rekindle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Firefighters discovered two small spot fires burning uphill in light brush. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire and contained them to an area of approximately 100' X 100'.<br />

Firefighters were able to quickly contain the fire due to the property owner having recently cleared the dried grass and brush on the steep hillside. The cause of the fire was undetermined.<br />
<br />
The La Habra Heights Fire Department recently transitioned to the <a href="https://www.fire.lacounty.gov/dispatchers-they-answer-the-call/" target="_blank">Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Center</a> for processing 911 calls and dispatching La Habra Heights fire and EMS resources. This transition has reduced response times and improved the communication and coordination of local fire companies when working together.<br />
<br />

The topography of La Habra Heights with heavy brush and intermix of homes makes it ideal for local Firefighters t gain valuable training for wildfires. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Over 40 Engine Companies and more than a dozen Chief Officers from these agencies practiced firefighting operations together, many for the first time.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Most of those attending had never driven through the Heights or been exposed to the difficulties of fighting a wildfire in La Habra Heights.</span><br />
Chief Officers and Captains who will be tasked with working together to command wildfires had an opportunity to discuss Incident Command, radio communications, and agency challenges. Having Command Staff from different agencies develop relationships before the battle starts improves the operation success during the firefight.<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">This training improves our preparedness, interoperability and communications that will be used to successfully mitigate emergencies and save lives and property. Coordinating dozens of Fire companies from multiple jurisdictions is complex and challenging. </span><br />

With smoke showing from the powder canyon area, a full brush assignment was requested and additional Firefighters, camp crews, and air support from Los Angeles County Fire, Santa Fe Springs, Downey, and Vernon were dispatched.<br />
<br />
The fire was located just off Skyline trail, North of the end of Reposado Dr. Due to the fire being located within the <a href="http://www.habitatauthority.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/historic-natural-history.pdf" target="_blank">Habitat Authority Preserve</a> area, ground crews had to navigate narrow dirt roads to gain access to the fire. The fire was contained to approximately 1/2 acre of heavy brush and 8' tall milkweed. 75 firefighters assisted by several water dropping helicopters were able to knock down the fire in about an hour. Crews remained on scene for several hours to completely extinguish the fire and create a scratch line around the entire perimeter.<br />

<br />
Several factors helped Firefighters quickly control the fire. The recent transition by the La Habra Heights Fire Department to the <a href="https://www.fire.lacounty.gov/dispatchers-they-answer-the-call/" target="_blank">Los Angeles County Fire Dispatch</a> and communications system has improved communications and interoperability between the two agencies. A series of multi-agency wildland drills with Departments from Los Angeles and Orange Counties have recently been conducted in the Heights, with the next one scheduled for the end of the month.<br />
<br />
The cause of the fire has been determined to be an illegal campfire. There were no witnesses or suspects.<br />
<br />
While the heavy brush in the area was more than 8' tall, it has not yet dried out. In addition, favorable weather conditions and a lack of wind allowed firefighters to safely attack the fire from the ground. Unfortunately, a few days of low humidity and strong winds can have a significant negative impact on firefighting tactics and efforts.La Habra Heights Firehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14358718401999665240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051641786728181372.post-39425070049251667712017-03-15T10:08:00.001-07:002017-03-16T09:54:46.606-07:00Narrow Roads and Fire Engines Don't Mix<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

The cause of the accident occurred due to several factors including a narrow, winding road with lane widths of approximately 9 feet, a blind corner with both opposing drivers hugging the center line due to the narrow lane width, the Fire Engine driver moving slightly to the right to avoid a potential accident, the rear dual wheels cheating the corner to the passenger side due to the length of the Engine, and a sharp drop off at the edge of the fog line and pavement.</div>

On December 11, 2016 at 2:00 P.M., the <a href="http://lhhfire.com/" target="_blank">La Habra Heights Fire Department</a> responded to a reported residential structure fire on the 900 block of Cancho Ln. in <a href="http://lhhcity.org/" target="_blank">La Habra Heights</a>. Upon arrival firefighters found a small fire in an upstairs living room which had been extinguished by the homeowner. Firefighters extinguished the remaining material and overhauled the room. Damage was limited to the wood floor and minimal contents.</div>

The fire started
when a burning log rolled out of the fireplace into a pile of combustible material. At the time of the fire, the resident was working in a remote location on the property and was unaware that a fire had started. Fortunately, other members of the family, upon returning home, were walking towards the remote section of the property when they heard the activated smoke alarms.</div>

Even though the start of winter is right around the corner,
<a href="http://lhhcity.org/" target="_blank">La Habra Heights’</a> residents can pick up sandbags at the Fire Department or
City all year round. The sandbags will need to be filled. Sand is available at
the back parking lot at The Park. Residents will need to bring a shovel to fill
bags. </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sandbags, when properly filled and placed, will redirect storm and debris flows
away from property improvements. <br />
<br />
<b>Filling</b> <o:p></o:p></div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Fill sandbags one-half full.
Sand is suggested if readily available; however, sand is not mandatory,
and any local soil may be used. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">For a more durable bag with
increased effective life, mix 10 parts of sand or soil with one part of
cement. The materials can be mixed and placed dry. After all bags are in
place, a light sprinkling of water is recommended. This technique is only
effective with burlap sandbags and will not work with plastic sandbags. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<br />
<b>Placing</b>
<br />
<br />
Fold top of sandbag down and rest bag on its folded top as shown in the
illustration on the right. <br />
<br />
It is important to place bags with the folded top toward the upstream or uphill
direction to prevent bags from opening when water runs by them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<b>Stacking Sandbags</b> <br />
<br />
Care should be taken to stack sandbags in accordance with the illustrations.
Place each sandbag as shown, completing each layer prior to starting the next
layer. Limit placement to two layers unless a building is used as a backing or
sandbags are pyramided (see illustrations below). <o:p></o:p></div>
