In the hope of clearing up some of the confusion, this series of photos (just taken) shows the area of Crestline/Lake arrowhead as it is right now.
Looking to the west this is the fire south of Arrowhead, moving up the mountain. 
Panning right the lake comes into view. 
There's still a lot of time before the fire reaches the Community. Some spot fires have already burned homes west of the shot. Appox 25 reported so far.
thanks, stars n stripes. I'm not familiar with the area so its hard to pick out where the fires are exactly in relation to the structures. But I'll take your word for it that it isn't as immediate as the media indicates.
