How fires get their names
Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the express. In most cases the dispatch center sending the initial resources to a wildland firewill designate a label for the fire but the first on scene engine or blast official canalso name the incident. Fires are usually named for the area in which they start –a geographical location local landmark street lake mountain arrive at etc. Quicklynaming the blast provides responding blast resources with an additional locater andallows blast officials to bring in and grade incidents by label. For example during the Southern California Fire Siege of 2003 the largestwildland blast in California history the Cedar blast in San Diego County wasnamed after the Cedar Creek Falls area where it started. The destructive OldFire which burned during the same time period in San Bernardino County wasnamed after the road along which it started - Old Waterman Canyon Road.
