Stevenson Ranch subdivision by Pico Canyon, south of Magic Mtn, north of Lyons, I THINK. North of hwy 14/ I-5 intersection.

[Brad’s Gramma]

KFI said 1 killed, 2 injured. They don't know the condition of the 2 injured.

[Fury]

The house(s) may have been occupied. I remember earlier how one homeowner decided to stay and fight but later called 911 when they felt trapped by the flames.

Heard on the radio that the coroner? for SD County stated they expect the death count to increase due to people who failed to heed warnings to evacuate.

[nicmarlo]

Citrus is on east side of LA County...

[Mrs.Liberty]

I know it....

If the two SD Fires join up it can and will get worse.

But, local Fox news is reporting we now have more air support, including 8 blackhawk hueys which can carry (I believe the anchor said) 3000 gallons of water.

[Ladypixel]

Confirming - yes, it's north of Lyons Rd.

[lainie]

yes they're not giving details that are useful to me. "I'm signing off, we need a dozer here (no loc given" etc

[SGCOS]

Keep those updates coming. I'm in Colorado with my 1997 Rand McNally road Atlas and finding the locations this thread is indicating.

[Ladypixel]

It could be worse - the foothills above Pasadena/Altadena/La Canada (that's where JPL is) could be on fire...

[Brad’s Gramma]

Any more word on YOUR fire?

[ridesthemiles]

These enviro dummies need to wake up and smell the smoke! I don't know how many states need to burn to the ground before they come to their senses

IMO, they have so sense, and many of the radical ones think this is an "appropriate clensing" of the encroachment humans have made into the hills and mtns.
The long term objective of the hard core enviros is to push us into high rises in cities, and no one living in the open spaces. They want to turn back 50% of the acreage of the entire USA to no presence of humans, and no sign we were ever there. I want to have the dump contract on that deal....

[lainie]

Thats true -- the angeles nat'l forest is still intact

[Silas]

Granny,

Please start a new thread to discuss unrelated fires in other states.

[spectr17]

anybody know "Guard" freq that air attack is on at Lake Arrowheard? Old FIre?

[TomGuy]

Rescuers are staying busy, too.
Taking someone to a careflight chopper.

[Ladypixel]

ABC reporting that the fire is both east and west of 330, and is burning south of Running Springs.
