I worked up a quick timeline on the fires today, and not including the Bernado Fire which started Tuesday morning and is still burning, I counted 13 fires by 5pm when they seemed to stop. (LA times had something about a woman and others being detained in the 405 freeway fire but it nails me on the subscription thing and won’t let me see the article). Pendleton is still burning after spreading to 6,000 acres.
The start times are from various news sources, too lazy to link them all:
(Bernado Fire/North San Diego County/Del Norte Highschool area - 10:30am Tuesday)
Los Ceritos Wetlands/Long Beach 9:30am - spot fires spread on boats in Alamitos Bay; roof of hotel; wetlands fire was ‘largest in 20 years’
Tomahawk Fire/Fallbrook 9:45am = boxtruck on fire origins
Border Patrol Station/San Clemente 10:00am
Pointsetta/Carlsbad 10:35am
Highway Fire/Rancho Monserate/Rancho Viejo 12:00pm
Freeway Fire/San Onofre/Anaheim 12:30pm big-rig fire origin
Oceanside Fire 1:00pm
Escondito Fire abt 1:00pm
Briggs Fire Santa Paula/Ventura 1:10pm
San Marcos/Cocos Fire 3:45pm- graduation ceremonies cancelled for this weekend
Mission Hills/405 Freeway Fire before 4pm
Aurora Fire/Lakeside 5pm
Scripps Ranch Fire abt 5pm
Right now I can see the red glow from the flames of the Cocos fire. We've been watching it from our back door since it was just barely a small plume of gray smoke.
Prayers up for all path of these fires and for the people having to fight them in 100+ degree temperatures.
