I think its going to be a banner year i just ordered another scanner
hey pal! What do you think of this McGill fellow filling in for Noory? I like him. I also like the subject matter they are discussing. Not sure if you are listening to C2C.
( sorry off topic for your thread but looked for your latest post )
I liked how he kept the questions short...!
And what is up with the Georgy Noory Las Vegas special? They pimp everything now days.
I saw six (if not more) starts myself, first-hand and up close & personal tonight, at the Antelope Valley fairgrounds. The city of Lancaster's fireworks show started the fire that closed the 14 freeway for a time. (Saw that action live, too.) You can see a lot from those grandstands. I just wished I'd had a camera.
Firefighters Kept Busy By Blazes Blamed On Fireworks
More Than 150 Fires Reported On Holiday
LOS ANGELES -- Firefighters say illegal fireworks probably sparked dozens of small brush, grass and tree fires throughout Los Angeles County on Monday.
The largest of the fires occurred in Irwindale, in the West Hills area of the San Fernando Valley, where an evening blaze scorched about 5 acres near a gravel pit.
The fire started at about 9 p.m. and briefly threatened several homes, but no structures were damaged and no one was hurt. It took firefighters about two hours to put it out.
A fire blackened 4 acres in Lincoln Heights and another blaze consumed about 2 acres of brush in the Antelope Valley.
Burning embers from a fireworks show at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank ignited a series of small spot fires. Officials say they were quickly put out.
In South Los Angeles, a house fire at Main and 49th was reported at about 10:30 p.m.
Another fire on East 121st Street, in Athens Village, destroyed four cars. That fire was blamed on residual fireworks that were left in a trash can.
Firefighters say they got three times the number of calls they normally do in a five-hour period on the July Fourth holiday, according to NBC4's Angela Chee. In all, more than 150 fires were reported.
Gotta love how they don't point out it was the City of Lancaster's fireworks show that started the 2 acre brush fire!
How big is the Yorba Linda fire?
they are using air tankers and asked for 5 strike teams (25 engines) it is in the Chino Hills St Park, north of Esperanza.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Staging is a definite problem from what I'm hearing.
