Nail on head Karl! Tony is also probably busy kissing up to BHusseinO's goons.

Did you hear the ironic Rob Lowe reference to the Montecito Fire as "Armageddon?"

Patients being transported from Olive View to Holy Cross.

The City of LA shut down Holy Cross’s expansion because of a union dispute! Holy Cross is the only responsible operator in the N Valley! Politics everywhere

Where is Holy Cross? Olive View out of business will make this whole area more vulnerable.

Smoke is getting bad here. Throat hurts.

Great photo, but I think the Montecito Fire Department should move the arrow to the “Extreme” position.

I woke up at 4:00 AM Eastern time and turned on FOX radio....the last story of their broadcast mentioned that it wasn’t 100 homes lost in Montecito.....they said it was 200! Sad.

Since this thread has extended beyond the initial fire, and this one has the potential to escalate fast, I’ll add it here.

This is sort of the area of Valley Center near Cole Grade Road, which has had fires basically every wildfire season down here in the SD area.

It’s sort of north/east a bit of Escondido.

The Valley Center fire was knocked down quite quickly. CalFire sent quite a few resources, and some were sent back before they arrived. The two standby air tankers in Ramona made a pass, and the two copters worked for a while, but no big deal. The fire was in fairly light fuel, surrounded by roads, and the wind wasn’t bad at the time. The little sucker put up a nice header for a few minutes, though. I could see it above Daley Ranch in Escondido.
