The Fire Thread

Looks like it's all cleared out for 5000 new homes stacked on top of one another.

Way to look on the bright side!!!

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Whoa?!!! The air is cleaning up here! Maybe an evening ride is in order?

If it makes you feel any better, the plan for 5,000 dwelling units is likely to include a transit hub, schools, mixed-use, active parkland, and 400’ tall towers so that it can all be done on less than 50 acres. No parking though...the point is to coerce people out of passenger vehicles.

And gondolas to take the people up to the indoor nature interpretive center.

I keep telling myself this is the natural way for the Southwest renew itself, but all those folks and pines that were lost aren't coming back in my lifetime.

Pines grow back pretty quickly. Comparatively, anyway.

There weren't that many in the park itself, more on the hillsides. This was good ol' tree that I always liked seeing:

The AQI dropped down into the 50s here late this afternoon. It was about 93 degrees out but that wasnt gonna stop me from getting back on two wheels.

Closure extended until October 8th

Should be ready to go by then...

Close one in Laguna today. Multi car accident in laguna canyon, a car caught fire and personnel were on it quickly, very lucky it didn’t burn into the brush start another wildfire. Coulda gone differently if it was windy. Be careful everyone!

I'd prefer temps in the 50's an AQI in the 90's.

LOL, I'm not sure that is any better. But on that note, there has been a significant improvement in my region.

Bobcat Fire: Earlier today, I saw a fresh plume coming from back up in the forest, behind and basically North of Strawberry Peak. It didn't last long though.

Up close and personal like in El Dorado:

Here's looking down on the Yucaipa bench area from the Crafton Hills. All the way from the far left where you see the fire line bulldozed up to Yucaipa ridge to the saddle on the right is burnt. The saddle is the road leading up to Oak Glen, and Pisgah Peak on the far right of that was not burnt. If you look at 3:00 or do on the right of the photo, you can see the tree line shown in the above photos for perspective.

Yes I clicked the link, I find it more sad than funny? The wild life lost, six weeks of sitting in the house.

Hooray! Brush fire in Redlands! What’s the good word @Cyclotourist ?

 

[Cyclotourist]

I'm not seeing anything official, but my kids are getting pics sent to them from their friends... looks like it's somewhere off of Live Oak Cyn Rd.

Edit: Right over from Oakmont Park. Lots of homes packed in those canyons just to the E and W of it...

I have not seen any plumes of smoke, but there is generally really bad. When for a short ride around the neighborhood this morning and eyes were burning after 20 minutes.

I looked at satellite video earlier. Looks like it’s from the Sierra fires. I watched it move over big bear this afternoon while I was riding skyline and fall line.
