Standing Firefighter Order No. 1 includes a call for officers/crews to keep informed about fire weather conditions—in regard to the wildland, dry weather, lightning, heat and wind—because of their effect on the flammability of vegetation. For example, wind can drive fire in the wildland uphill or downhill, as shown in this image that was captured during the January 2025 Palisades Fire.
