The board this morning

Fast-moving Bouquet wildfire and confirmed Missouri–Illinois flood warnings headline a busy Sunday for responders

By The FirstResponders Desk

Good morning. A fast-growing wildfire in the Angeles National Forest north-east of Santa Clarita, California — the Bouquet fire — is reported by The Guardian to have reached 1,000 acres by Saturday evening and triggered evacuation orders and warnings, with crews working it from the ground and air; this is unconfirmed by any agency. Treat acreage and evacuation extent as moving numbers until your own command or a fire agency puts them out. Fire readers elsewhere should note the same material carries unconfirmed satellite fire-detection feeds over Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Idaho — detections, not confirmed fires, and none confirmed by any agency.

On the flood side, these are agency-confirmed: the National Weather Service office in St. Louis has Flood Warnings (Warning Severe) out for Gasconade and Montgomery counties, Missouri; Boone, Callaway, Cole and Moniteau, Missouri; Callaway and Osage, Missouri; Pike, Illinois with Pike, Missouri; and Calhoun, Illinois with Pike, Missouri. NWS Chicago has a Flood Warning for Lake County, Illinois. If your district is on that list, expect water-rescue and road-closure traffic through the shift.

Fire safety: Firefighter Close Calls reports that a Londonderry, New Hampshire firefighter who caught fire during a Friday-night house fire — a flashover, when a room's hot air and smoke ignites all at once — is recovering at home; this is unconfirmed by any agency. We are not naming the member.

Also reported but not confirmed by any agency: firefighters hurt at a house fire in Florida, with no agency count available; and a mass shooting at a homecoming party in Georgia, for which no agency has given a casualty figure we can stand up.

At sea, CBS News reports the Coast Guard has suspended its search for six people aboard a medical jet that went missing off Nantucket while flying from Bermuda to Boston; debris has been found. NPR reports flight data showed the jet dropped at least 9,000 feet over two minutes before disappearing.

Law enforcement and traffic, as reported by the named outlets: the Los Angeles Times reports a Nobu employee was killed when his parked car was struck on Pacific Coast Highway, per authorities; The Oregonian reports Portland police accuse a driver with a .55% blood-alcohol content of driving into a building and causing $50,000 in damage; NJ.com reports police say four men posing as FBI agents held a woman down and robbed her home; and the New York Post reports two airline baggage handlers were arrested over a watch taken from a traveler's luggage in New Orleans. ABC News reports a Pacific storm has crossed the international dateline and is now Typhoon Nolo.
