Fire Forces Evacuations, Burns Homes in Sylmar Area
Sayre Fire is near the 210 Freeway in Northern Los Angeles.
A dangerous, fast-moving brush fire in the Sylmar section of the San Fernando Valley, spread by gusting 50 mph winds has now burned at least five homes and is threatening several more, City Fire Department spokesperson Melissa Kelly said today.
So far there are no reports of injuries to residents or fire personnel, said Kelly.
The blaze ignited about 10:30 p.m. in the dry, brushy hills above 13000 W. Sayre Street near Shablow Ave, and has so far consumed more than 500 acres.

It's been tried. And they don't have to explain, as that would violate their right to privacy.
I took a lot of years and a lot of rhetoric to get to this point, but...her we are.
In MOST neighborhoods (and most, if not all states), you can VOLUNTEER the contents of your pool to the saving of your neighborhood, but...well, then you wouldn't be a liberal, who believes someone ELSE should do something about the fire, and therefore you are probably in the minority, so there wouldn't be enough of your pool to go around to protect the neighborhood. I WISH that had been sarcasm. Unfortunately, it's the truth.
I expect looters in LA....but Yorba Linda?
Only beer...to feed their starving children. Couldn’t resist. Going to bed now.
Santa Ana emptied out momentarily....hordes of folk reported heading to Yorba Linda....
I’m getting caught up reading this thread & listening to KFI. What’s the Newhall Pass fire? Did Sylmar travel...northeast?
Yorba Linda is just a short hop skip and a jump from Anaheim and Santa Anna
huh?
I thought I heard OES talking about a comm van in San Dimas.....on ICIS.
That’s what makes a bad Santa Ana event so bad...hot stuff blowing that sparks way ahead of the fire front...
Well, by your logic, we all ought to just roll over and yawn the next time some American GIs get ambushed by terrorists, right?
Sheeesh, pal. I may be in Texas, but that's my hometown burning, and I've still got family and friends there. Not to mention, fellow Americans.
My eyes are burning from the smoke and I’m INSIDE my house.
I just watched them move up our old street in Chino Hills to get into position in cast the fire in Chino Hills State Park sparks a fire behind all those homes...
Prayers up to you and all your neighbors out there in SoCal. Stay safe!
I don’t think so!... no one I know up there wants their home to burn for “insurance”
I’m sorry.......it was a joke...sorta kinda a put down on NOT ALL but lots of people who live in SA. Karl said something about looters in Yorba Linda.
I’ll slither away now...
Prayers for you, CG. How close are you?
Oh :’)
IT is burning up by the Nixon Library
FRmail. :)
My eyes are burning and tearing, too. I have to go find a place tonight to stay where the air is better. My son has asthma and this is really bad here.
Karl, any word on how Ventura County is doing re traffic, fire, smoke?
