Live Updating Thread: 2007 Southern California Firestorms
LA Times ^ | 9:35 AM PDT, October 21, 2007 | Associated Press

Posted on 10/21/2007 9:48:36 AM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach

UPDATE: The city of Malibu is advising residents in Puerco Canyon to begin evacuating due to a wildfire driven by powerful winds. This area is north of Pacific Coast Highway and about 1 mile west of Pepperdine University. Residents along the beach on Malibu Road may soon be evacuated. Pacific Coast Highway is closed between Kanan-Dume Road and Topanga Canyon. Residents are advised to head to the west. Evacuation centers are being set up in the Zuma Beach area.

A wildfire driven by powerful winds in the Malibu Hills this morning threatened a university, destroyed at least one home and forced the evacuation of hundreds more, authorities said.

Actually, with brush, you sometimes allow to happen because it means you have to build twenty five percent less fire line once it happens.

I said to contact you!

But I certainly dont think there should be 22 different threads!

It is so much simpler with Pacific storms.

Hey Norm, Looking at the map, a physical merger of the LA County fires would be something terrible. As I look at it the fire would have to cover big chunks of the San Frenando Valley. Maybe they mean putting fire management of the Santa Clarita area fires under a single fire management.

The Mods have changed the title on this thread several times ...so I think they are trying to gently persuade peope to use this...but the San Diego has a lot of replies and dialog ....

Guess I ought to see what new info the LA Times might have on their site...they are doing some good stuff.

can’t the parents take care of their children?

That stopped a couple of decades ago. Teachers these days are frequently called on to be the custodian of the kid and to do the parenting that the biological parents don't have time to do. My dad quit teaching in the 80's after spending thirty years in the classroom. His final shot was, "If I wanted to be a warden, I wouldn't have gotten a teaching credential".
