Incident Overview
Each of the 18 lightning fires that began Wednesday (6/3) on the Angeles National Forest are 100% contained. The Roost Fire on the Los Angeles River Ranger District remains in patrol status.
This incident listing includes all 18 fires in the following areas:
On the Los Angeles River Ranger District: West, Krakta, Twin, Wilson, Upper, Ridge, Cienaga and Roost Fires.
On the San Gabriel River Ranger District: Cubby, Terrebonne (San Dimas), Tanbark and Snow Fires.
On the Santa Clara-Mojave Rivers Ranger District: Panorama, Slope, Juniper, Snag, Lake and Cruthers.
In general, these fires are located in remote, upper elevations of the San Gabriel Mountains north and east of Los Angeles. Each fire is less than 1 acre, with the exception of the Terrebonne (San Dimas) Fire, which is being fought in cooperation with L.A. County Fire.
All fires are in the main portion of the San Gabriel Mountains; there are no detectable fires located in the western portion of the Angeles National Forest between Interstate 5 and Highway 14.
Access to these fires is generally hike-in only. The terrain is very steep and rugged. There are no communities currently threatened by these fires and no structures have been lost. Some smoke may be visible from populated areas, especially if clouds dissipate in the afternoon.
While not unprecedented, lightning events over multiple days are somewhat rare in the San Gabriel Mountains. Events such as these typically occur in late July to early August. Ninety-one percent (91%) of all fire starts in the Angeles National Forest are human-caused.
