Frazier Park, United States - May 31, 2025 On May 31st, air tankers battled the Frazier fire alongside ground crews, working under the coordination of air attack teams. These flights only operate under safe conditions, with operations halted when smoke or weather pose risks. Safety remains the top priority for both firefighters and the public. Fire intel aircraft have now confirmed the fire’s actual size at 60 acres. Thanks to unified efforts by the U.S. Forest Service and Kern County Fire Department, 70% of the blaze is contained. The forward spread has been stopped. The unified command structure proved successful as crews responded quickly to the steep terrain and warm weather. This highlights the strength of the mutual aid system, which has been essential throughout this week’s firefight. One key factor in slowing the fire’s progress has been the Tecuya Ridge fuel break. In dry and rugged terrain, this fuel break helped slow the fire and allowed crews to reach the front lines faster. It also created a strategic spot for water pumping and safe fire suppression efforts. Support from interagency partners has also been critical. Teams from the Bureau of Land Management Fire, Los Angeles County Fire Department, and Ventura County Fire Department joined the fight. Their rapid cooperation demonstrates the impact of joint action in wildfire response.
