WE FOLLOW THROUGH
As heat and humidity continue to build across San Diego County, local agencies are staying on alert for the next wildfire threat.
Support is also growing from the sky, with Cal Fire reopening its upgraded Ramona Air Attack Base.
The agency replaced decades-old tarmac with a newly paved flight line that can accommodate more aircraft, including a C-130 Hercules capable of dropping 4,000 gallons of fire retardant in a single pass.
Cal Fire officials say the improvements are essential as crews battle increasingly dangerous wildfires across the region.
“In the last 20 years, we’ve seen explosive fires — some of the most destructive and largest fires we’ve seen in California’s history. So being able to update the facility, upgrade our aircraft, is key to being able to meet the changing environment that we’re seeing with wildland fires, especially here in San Diego,” said Cal Fire Capt. Mike Cornette.
The upgraded aircraft recently assisted crews battling the Sorrento and Camp Pendleton fires.
The enhancements extend beyond the runway. Cal Fire says staffing at the base has increased to as many as 40 personnel per day, up from about 10 in previous years, helping crews respond faster and more efficiently when fires break out.
