#HawickFire
Vegetation in Lakeside in the Lake Jennings area south of Interstate 8 off Hawick Dr. Full wildland response from Central Zone and Calfire. This is LKS Engine 3's district. This will be the #HawickFire.

#HawickFire I'm seeing three helos currently assigned. Lake Jennings is very close for water supply!

#HawickFire Not sure who Air Attack is. They came over from the nearby #MonteFire. Tankers 70 & 71 currently assigned.

LKS Captain Steve Russo's birthday on the #HawickFire yesterday. These fuels show why the ROS was so fast. Light, dry fuel! Central Zone firefighters doing what they do best: punching-in progressive hoselays! 👊

#HawickFire Fairly typical afternoon breeze out there pushing the fire to the east.

#HawickFire This is what the area looks like. The terrain slopes up steeply behind the housing development. There is a large avocado grove just to the southeast.

#HawickFire forward progress stopped.

#HawickFire Just heard a no-divert for aircraft due to a life threat. Workers at the agricultural property out in front of the fire!

#HawickFire Calfire BC just took IC; LKS Div 4104 is Operations. Updated acreage is 5 acres. Sounds like it it pushing SE into the avocado grove and towards Rios Canyon. Potential structure threat in a bit per Air Attack.

#HawickFire I think Calfire Battalion 3314 is Hawick IC. This is in the Lakeside Fire District BUT is also State Responsibility Area (SRA) which is why it gets the concurrent resource response.

#HawickFire Smoke visible on cameras. Initial size-up was a well-established fire at 1 acre in medium fuels with a moderate ROS. No current structure threat. Fire is burning up slope away from houses right now.

#HawickFire Still a bit of active fire on Division "Mike." Forward spread will be stopped shortly per Operations. "Forward Spread Stopped" is one of the important benchmarks for controlling a wildland fire. Mop-up (overhaul) and Containment will follow that.

#HawickFire Watch Duty showing the fire at 20 acres.

Fun Fact: I worked at Marshal Scotty's Playland (top of map) when I was a teenager. My work name was "Rusty." Not sure why it is still on maps? It has been closed for decades!! 😁

#HawickFire I also went to Rios Canyon Elementary School starting in 1969. This is my former 'hood. 😁

#HawickFire They did get a Type-1 tanker assigned in addition to the Type-3s. Tanker 162 is inbound from San Bernardino.

#HawickFire IC reporting retardant lines are holding and things are looking good. Should have forward progress stopped pretty soon.
June 19, 2025 at 11:18 PM
#HawickFire Seeing more helicopters assigned (7) working the shoulder (flanks) and head per IC. Updated size at 50 acres. Fire activity is moderating but forward spread is not stopped yet.

#HawickFire Sounds like they are having some with issues with the Rate of Spread. The wind is really pushing this thing. Evacuation orders (Go) and warnings (Set) are in effect.
