The Fire Thread

[sir crashalot]

Wind seems to have died down and northern sky looks less smoky from here now. Fingers crissed

 

[Cyclotourist]

Are aircraft able to get up yet?

 

[SingleTrackJB]

Apparently caused by a drunk driver who drove into a pole, Santiago Canyon Road, at about 7am

stay safe everyone

Edison just filed an incident report, which indicates that their equipment was involved

also apparently the fire started earlier than the crash of the drunk driver

lots of unknowns

 

[no worries]

Another fire now, south of Chino Hills off the 91.

My son is heading to another big fire in the Yorba Linda area. Think this may be the one. Curiously, my pal and I rode there yesterday and got drenched.

Sorry; wrong name; it's the Green Fire.

Oh hell. Now it’s our turn (OC) again?

Evacuations in Yorba Linda from Green Fire.

 

[Faust29]

OVer 4000 acres now, and two firefighters in critical condition with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. This went from bad to tragic in a matter of hours.

I once did some work for a person that owned a house on several acres of property at the corner of Newport and Cowan, He told me that there was a natural pathway for airborne embers from wildfires that went over his house. He had constructed an extensive fire control system on his property.

Oh no! Sorry you OCers!

Both are critical and intubated.

Damn, this is terrible. I guess the rain yesterday morning did nothing.

Starting to smell smoke in Costa Mesa.

Been changed to the Blue Ridge Fire.

Blue Ridge Fire is burning in Chino Hills. Looks like the bottom of Scully Ridge, Aluvian Trail, Lower Aliso(back entrance) have burned.

 

[Rumpled]

Both are critical and incubated.

It's intubated. Autocorrect probably got you.
That makes it dire for these guys.

Mandatory evacuation for Baker Ranch area of Lake Forest

 

[mtnbikej]

I wonder why they haven't moved the train away from the fire near Brush Canyon.

Mandatory evacuation for Baker Ranch area of Lake Forest

That’s just below whiting

 

[fos'l]

Thanks. I don't know how to change title, but anyone who can, please do.

 

[mtnbikej]

Info on injured FF's.......

 

[Oaken]

I wonder why they haven't moved the train away from the fire near Brush Canyon.

Maybe concern for wheel sparks?

 

[Stkx66]

Returning home from the desert today we saw this fire on the northern side of 91. We also saw 8-9 big rigs flipped on their side out by the 210 and 15 freeways.

 

[mtnbikej]

Silverado Fire now burning near Alton and Irvine Blvd.......that's getting well away from our foothills.
