Air quality in LA and Ventura County near the Hughes Fire looking actually very good. It sounds like minimal activity overnight and this morning on the fire.

The fire is "looking pretty quiet" this morning, per air attack. Most of the activity is in the vicinity of Lake Hughes Road on the east side of the fire. This will likely be a priority today. Per South Ops, the fire had minimal activity overnight with creeping and backing. Air attack has requested two Type 1 copters. The fire remains 10,176 acres and 14% contained.

From Ventura County APCD:

" Air Quality Alert for smoke issued in county

District warns that Hughes Fire causes unhealthy conditions

The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District is issuing an Air Quality Alert because unhealthy conditions exist.

Smoke from the Hughes Fire is causing the Air Quality Index (AQI) to fall in the unhealthy range for everyone in Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Oxnard, Piru, Santa Paula, Simi Valley and Ventura. Smoke and ash from wildfires contain very small particles that can harm the lungs and heart. (cont)"
1/x


the alert is in effect until conditions improve.

When air quality reaches an unhealthy level for you or when you see or smell smoke, Ventura County Public Health recommends that you:

• Stay indoors as much as possible, preferably in a “clean room” with an indoor air filtration device where you can avoid cooking or burning candles.

• Close all windows and doors that lead outside unless it is extremely hot.

• Operate home and car air conditioners in recycle or recirculation mode. Close the fresh air intake and replace dirty filters.

• Avoid strenuous outdoor activity. If you must work outside, wear a properly fitted N95 mask.

2/x

@ai6yr Wait, Ventura County is issuing smoke? Maybe they should hold off on that.

Anyone looking to listen to the , I have my own radio feeder up at the moment... Feel free to use it if it's better than whatever is out there on Broadcastify. (it will continue to run as long as we have power and Internet here).

I may pull it down and put it back up with tactical channels later if I get a chance, those you can't find anywhere else generally.

Pretty quiet right now, but at least it's available. I will push the air frequencies up at some point if I have time, too.

Chitchat about getting some crews to work on line overnight in Charlie Canyon. 1/22/25 1835


@ai6yr Ben have I asked you what channels you monitor for these fires, and on what app (or...a radio?) I've tried a couple of free scanner apps and they blow.

@ai6yr

On the west side of I-5 then...

[crap...]

by FinchHaven sfba ;

@ai6yr So if your not going to maintain your landscaping then rock garden it

I get that shot may be old but generally if they let it go like that they seldom change

The state and local water district should offer near free rocks to any homeowner willing to go that route and ban lawn in future developments

Edit Ooooh Im all a tingle I love the synergy of a good combo rant

If you have friends or family in the Los Angeles area, like we do, it’s time once again to pay close attention to what’s going on with this latest wildfire this afternoon: the “Hughes Fire.” We’re watching a live stream from KCAL on YouTube, and using the App to keep up with evacuation zone updates.
