PER A81 - APPROX 200 ACRES ON FIRE
sounds bad....LA County is moving strike teams all over the place too...
The temp out here reached 103.3 and the winds started whipping around 3 o'clock. It feels like an oven out there.
Thanks for the ping. Unfortunately, a lot of new news today.
Thanks for pinging me! That one is definitely one to watch...huge jump so quickly!
This is another one that seemed like it might have quite a story involved...started out with multiple grass/brush fire alerts...turned into this, with a male supposedly putting it out (although I wonder if perhaps he was starting it?) and now a sig alert for police activity in the area?

Similarly, I believe it was yesterday, but may have been Saturday, there was a brush fire started by a guy pouring gas outside the car window on the shoulder and starting fires (reported by another motorist)...
Ugh...LONG fire season to go... :-(
Karl, can you link that other website you sometimes post updates from about the fires? I know you have the scanners that you get updates on, but it seems like you oftentimes have another website source that is more detailed than the CHP one, especially since so many things don't even stay on the logs or they stray outside CHP area and so then we can't get much in the way of details.
Thanks for always keeping us updated!!
