LAFD got a pretty good handle on the fire this morning as it entered LA (118 @ Rocky Peak)....they put on a clinic on how to handle these things. Air drop every 60 seconds...the frequency is hardly busy now. They were using three LAFD fire helos, one Ventura County, the Sky Crane, and several planes.

That was amazing to watch those choppers -- they saved that neighborhood from destruction IMHO! When the fire jumped 118 for the 2nd time, the choppers came in and within minutes the fire was back until control. It is so impressive!
