""consider allowing large logs to burn out.""
The Wildfire Management Plan for Topanga State Park is a local operating agreement between California State Parks Angeles District, the L.A. Fire Department and other firefighting agencies. The plan outlines concerns about "sensitive" plants, animal species and tribal sites and prescribes reduced ground disturbance tactics. The plan calls for modified mop-up of ground fuels, minimal spading limited to hot areas near fire lines, cold-trailing charred logs with minimal tool scarring, and allowing large logs to burn out in some areas. The document was released to attorneys for Palisades fire victims, and depositions of firefighters and State Parks representatives have been signaled to probe coordination and tactics.
