You mean hugh fire
Just near there trying to play paintball (a few miles south). The smoke clouds were unbelievable...looked like they were getting ready to crest the hill.
The last fire in the are was in 1962 so there's a lot of fuel...100 degree temps...probably goes on for a week unfortunately.
Bush fires in So. California. If there wasn't, I don't think the sun would come up tomorrow.

Sorry I have no sympathy for stupidity compounded by arrogance and commie liberalism. Southern California is an artificial environmental disaster created by pseudo environazis.
These pretty people cry out they are environmentalists, yet they subscribe to furthering a life style that guarantees failure on a monumental scale. They have completely destroyed the Colorado River eco-system just so they can pump water to their affluent hill side mega-estates and designer pools.
In short, to hell with them.
Stay safe, all you SoCal FReepers...
Apparantly another fire has started in the Palm Springs area. One was just put out there after having burned for a week. There is smoke filling the Cochella Valley from this new fire.
The northwest corner of the Foothill Fire has gone over the dozer break, and they are calling for evacuations in the Chaparral Tract (across from Nature Center)
Apparently these people were let back in....or it was voluntary last night.
Also, an inmate firefighter fell 20 feet off a hill and was airlifted to Holy Cross Hospital about 1130am.
I can see it all as I sit here. The fire is directly in front of me. I live in Valencia. I'm watching the trees and it seems the wind has picked up quite a bit in the last few hours.
I'm sorry, I haven't read this whole thread. Are these fires suspicious?
