Fires in SoCal are destroying homes! (650 homes)

My TV | Stars N Stripes

[Stars N Stripes]

KNBC, KCAL and KTTV in Los Angeles have broken away from scheduled programing to report on a new fire in Waterman Canyon in San Bernardino. Several homes have been consumed by flames and many more are in danger of being destroyed.

More to follow...

so much for quail hunting tomorrow in Lake Arrowhead

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yeah, this is bizarre, hundreds of homes being destroyed, and everyone pulls off coverage. LOL! Freaking weird. We have 125 channels on one TV here and it's sports, soccer and other assorted TV garbage...

This should show the DU readers that FR people don't play politics when it comes to life and property.

UNLIKE RAT politicians, who accept the big Indian money, the GOP guys don't...and are STILL defending that ground.

Vehicles trying to enter evacuated areas . . . cops needing help to stop . . .

I've got several HAM channels in my scanner. I'm posting everything I hear.

"i got vehicles coming northboard on Hillman coming into the evac area!"

"OK I'll get help up to you"

The lack of TV media on this story is damaging and hampering the ability of local first response.

They need to keep the civies out of the area so the 1st responders can get a loop on the fire before it burns thru the city of San Bernardino

Structure at Laurel & Hillside . . . Dark's Canyon being evacuated

[Mr. Mojo]

I was in line at 711 today and the people behind me said that the solar storm had caused the fires here they were serious

lol .....I guess they don't know if a solar storm/flare actually did cause the fires that'd they'd be as dead as fried chicken.

KNBC back on air
Chuck Henry: Too many homes burning, not enough fire response!
Back to the TV fiction.

The last air shots we saw looked like the fire storms of Dresden Germany....

Yeah, this is bizarre, hundreds of homes being destroyed, and everyone pulls off coverage. LOL!

What .. are they nuts??

[bonesmccoy]

CNN is a joke. They've chosen to cover a rocket attack at the Al Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad.

LOL

Who gives a rip if the reporters at Al Rasheed are getting grenades tossed in their direction (six rockets)

Dep Sec of Defense, Rummy's #2 guy Paul Wolfowitz is staying at that hotel. It is news. CNN is right on this one. He is ok btw.

Winds extremely high . . . going toward Walmart . . . entire mountain mandatory evacuation through Sky Forest . . .

[Joe Hadenuf]

Really weird. I almost think that maybe it's so bad this is intentional, and they just pulled coverage.....Bet the rent, there were millions in the So Cal area watching, and all networks pulled coverage.........

[bonesmccoy]

SCANNER: (Emphatically) ATTENTION ALL UNITS: The entire mountain is MANDATORY EVACUATION to Sky Forest
