26: Communities/Critical Infrastructure Threatened (in 12, 24, 48 and 72 hour time frames):
12 hours: Morongo Valley, Burns Canyon
24 hours:
48 hours: Community around Onyx
72 hours:

27: Critical Resource Needs (kind & amount, in priority order):
1. Critical resources needs are currently met.
2.
3.

28: Major problems and concerns (control problems, social/political/economic concerns or impacts, etc.) Relate critical resources needs identified above to the Incident Action Plan.
The fire is burning in extremely steep rugged terrain with little access. Control options are few. The Millard Complex and the Sawtooth Complex have merged to form one perimeter. Extreme heat, low humidity and erratic winds continue in the fire area. Repair of critical road in Burns Canyon is being made to facilitate the moving of firefighting resources. Tree mortality in upper elevations has potential for increased fire behavior.

29: Resources threatened (kind(s) and value/significance):
San Gorgonio Wilderness, Bighorn Mountain Wilderness

30: Current Weather Conditions Wind Speed: 7 mph    Temperature: 82-102 Wind Direction: SW       Relative Humidity: 18-24

31: Resource benefits/objectives (for prescribed/wildland fire use only):

32: Fuels/Materials Involved: 4 Chaparral (6 Feet)
Greasewood & Joshua Trees Intermixed With Fine Fuels, Upper Elevations Have Pinyon/Juniper and Jeffery Pine.

33: Today's observed fire behavior (leave blank for non-fire events):
A plume generated smoke column occurred when the two fires merged causing an Ice Cap in the mid-troposphere (24,000 ft.). Extreme fire behavior in Dry Creek and Mission.

34: Significant events today (closures, evacuations, significant progress made, etc.):
Indirect line construction in Burns Canyon and Rattlesnake to Hwy 38 continue. Close coordination between the Sawtooth and Millard Incidents are in effect. Resource and Intel sharing is effectively occurring.

Outlook

35: Estimated Control Date and Time:

36: Projected Final Size:

37: Estimated Final Cost:

38: Tomorrow's Forecasted Weather Wind Speed: 5-8 mph    Temperature: 95-103 Wind Direction: S       Relative Humidity: 18-20

39: Actions planned for next operational period:
Complete indirect line on northwest side for contingency plan implementation. Continue direct line construction on the south side of the fire. Mop-up and patrol operations on the east and south side of the fire.

40: Projected incident movement/spread during next operational period:
The north western perimeter of the fire is the priority. The fire has now burned into a portion of the San Bernardino Nat'l Forest. Extremely steep rocky terrain is making access difficult as the fire moves west. The fire is projected to spread up to 100 feet per minute in light fuels with spotting up to .3 miles. The Millard and Sawtooth fires have merged.

41: For fire incidents, describe resistance to control in terms of:

1. Growth Potential - Extreme

2. Difficulty of Terrain - Extreme

42: How likely is it that containment/control targets will be met, given the current resources and suppression/control strategy?
Containment within the next burn period is unlikely.

43: Projected demobilization start date:

44: Remarks:
The Sawtooth fire is under the command of a Unified Command consisting of the California Department of Forestry, San Bernardino County Fire Department and the United States Forest Service.
