My brother-in-law lives on Old Cobble Road. Anyone know if fire is in that area? Yesterday he said it was about 5 miles away. They have their cars packed up in case they need to leave. But they were figuring winds coming off the ocean would make the situation better today.
Just heard on KFI that the fire is moving away from highway 18 now and back into itself. That sounds like some good news?
