35 homes now burned in Crestline area, CH 4 news

We've been urgently sifting the news to try to figure out what's happening in Crestline. Our daughter and her fiancee have a house which is in the central part of town, about three blocks from the west end of Lake Gregory. They evacuated early Sunday morning, and we're all anxious as to whether they'll have a house to return to.

It appears that the Waterman portion of the fire is burning towards Lake Arrowhead and is not advancing on Crestline. The Devore fire on the west side of Crestline remains a concern, but the Playground fire burned away from Crestline so I'm hoping the Devore fire won't get past that.

Is this all reasonable based on what you know? Is there a new fire now springing up that directly threatens the heart of Crestline? Of course the entire town is a tinderbox, what with all the dead trees, so nothing will be safe until days from now when all the fires have been put out. But anything we can learn about imminent dangers would be greatly appreciated.
