California Condor Eban McMillan 16 January 1964 had been re-activated and that many of the fire control personnel had been ordered to stand ready with Truck Pumps. Mr. Bennett also mentioned that the late fire dangers making it necessary that men be kept in readiness has made it necessary to forego sending crews into the backcountry to work on trail repair and firebreaks. Mr. Bennett also informed us that the fire from which we had seen the smoke rising Northwest of Santa Paula yesterday was a brush fire that had burned over half acre before it [illegible] had been brought under control. We arrived home about 6:15 p.m.
