The Incident 209 filed at 0700hrs this morning calls the Orange County wildfire the “Triangle Fire”

Same acreage, same start date, same everything.

The 0700 report was prepared by J. Windham SITL (T) a trainee within the incident management team.

The 11:00 am report was put prepared by R.Dull (DPSC), a veteran team member.

This would not be a major concern accept the L.A Times is now calling it the Triangle Fire. That L.A. Times article is linked to from Drudge.

I suspect the L.A. Times was given incorrect information. Anyone?
