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.

My eyes are burning from the smoke My daughter lives in Long Beach and that was her experience today. It's the smokiest there she's seen in the three years she's been in Los Angeles County. She said walking to the grocery store gave her a sore throat.

I just heard on the scanner that some dopes near the Sylmar Public Library are shooting at the helicopters while they are trying to fight the fires. I can't believe it.

The air is good in Ventura and the winds have died down. I am finally opening the doors, windows and letting a cooler air in our condo.
My thoughts are with you guys.
