"Pile Burn for Wildfire Safety in Topanga Canyon Postponed Due to Weather Conditions
The planned pile burn scheduled for April 17, in the northern Topanga Canyon area by LA County Fire Department and MRCA has been postponed for safety due to weather conditions (low humidity, windy). A confirmed date and time for the pile burn later this month, pending suitable weather and air quality conditions, will be announced at least 72 hours in advance.
This project remains part of ongoing wildfire risk reduction efforts led by the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA)."

MRCA and LA County Fire Department TO CONDUCT Topanga Canyon Pile Burn for WILDLIFE RISK REDUCTION April 17
The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA), in coordination with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, has scheduled a planned pile burn for Friday, April 17, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM in the northern Topanga Canyon area near Mulholland Highway as part of ongoing wildfire risk reduction efforts.
Residents in Topanga Canyon and surrounding areas may see smoke during the operation. Individuals sensitive to smoke should be advised that there is the potential for smoke to linger in low-lying areas. Motorists in the area should also be aware of possible minor traffic delays or reduced visibility near the burn site.
A final go/no-go decision will be made on the afternoon of Thursday, April 16, based on weather and air quality conditions. The public will be notified once a final determination has been made.
This is a planned, controlled burn conducted by trained fire personnel. Crews will be on-site to monitor conditions and ensure the fire remains contained throughout the operation.
The MRCA notes that this project is targeted and limited in scope, focusing on previously disturbed material rather than broad-scale vegetation removal. This approach helps reduce erosion risks while supporting natural regeneration and maintaining ecological health.

View from campsite in his LinkedIn Profile. I'm pretty sure this is somewhere between Ryan Campground and the Hall of Horros Area in Joshua Tree National Park. Unfortunately, Joshua Tree currently unpatrolled.

*** I don't know the facts of this case or this individual, but "critical missing" tends to be people in mental crisis. The guy appears to be a former Deputy Forester. His LinkedIn profile shows what I expect is his favorite campsite... Joshua Tree National Park. My gut is he's in Joshua Tree or similar, hopefully just cooling off and regaining mental health. Maybe somewhere in the Angeles National Forest. I'd check his favorite campsites and end of the road areas all through the Angeles National Forest. Folks in crisis tend to go to places they know and have previously brought them peace.

Oh wow, exploding tire was what killed a firefighter in Palmdale earlier this year (initially a thought was arson/etc. but it appears it was failure of a giant construction vehicle tire turning things into shrapnel). #firefighting #LACOFD https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-08-24/its-just-like-a-bomb-how-a-burning-truck-killed-an-l-a-county-firefighter
