Chula Vista issues first mandatory evacuation
Posted @ 7:42 PM

Chula Vista issued its first mandatory evacuation after the fire jumped Proctor Valley Road, threatening the Bella Lago community in the northeast section of the city.

At 7 p.m., Chula Vista contacted Bella Lago residents using a Reverse 911 system. The neighborhood is north of Proctor Valley Road and bordered by Agua Vista Drive on the west.

Displaced residents are advised to seek shelter at the city's evacuation center at the Chula Vista Community Youth Center on the campus of Chula Vista High School, 465 L St.

Twelve firefighters are trapped atop a ridge off Santiago Canyon Road in Orange County after flames jumped the road. The blaze roared up the hillside and prompted the crew members to deploy their fire shelters. They were surrounded by burning brush, but they made it out alive. "We just remained calm, everyone did," one firefighter said after he was checked out by paramedics. All of the firefighters were treated at the scene and did not want to go to the hospital.

Dear Lord! Bless those brave firefighters and protect them from the flames.

Prayers for all of you in California. This is truly horrific.

Still horrible. I'm glad they all got out. Those fire shelters are an amazing tool, but I still pray that no one ever needs to use one. But I'm grateful that they have them.
