Update Brush Fire CONTAINED 11/11/2019 INC#0050

Update CONTAINED Brush Fire; INC#0050; 11:30AM; 11798 W Foothill Bl; http://bit.ly/2N7TAiX; Hansen Dam; Firefighters responded just before 1:00 AM to a reported fire in a remote area of vegetation near the Hansen Dam. It originated in an area that fire apparatus could not access and was a long journey through heavy brush by foot. First-on-scene officers made a risk-versus-gain assessment and wisely decided that, with the increased humidity (including fog, which precluded air support) and little-to-no wind, in an area where no structures would be threatened, to leave Park Rangers to continue monitoring the situation overnight, with plans for LAFD to return in the morning when air/ground visibility and flight conditions improved. At first light, firefighters returned to find the fire had very slowly grown to 1-1/2 acres (as expected). LACoFD lent a "hand" with two of their hand crews. LAFD firefighters extended progressive hose lines around both sides of the fire, as helicopters made drops from the air. An LAFD Dozer strike team cut line ahead of the "hot flank" of the fire, which also created a fire road for apparatus to access the area. The fire is out after consuming approximately 3 acres and crews will stay on scene 3-4 hours to mop up the hot spots in the burn footprint. The cause of the fire is under active investigation; FS 98; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; AR1 AR2 BC12 DT1 DZ12 E24 E290 E298 E75 E77 E8136 E8140 E90 E98 H1 H4 H5 HA1 HA4 HA5 HE1 RA98 T90 T98 TP2 WT77; CH8; 17; -Nicholas Prange
