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.

You know, I never noticed that there wasn’t a key for the map. You are right in your guess though.
Also, if you look around on that link, there is another link for live video.
Just heard 7.? earthquake in Indonesia and tsunami watch...
off to catch more on that
Gropenator on TV now from Hansen Dam
FNC just reported that there is now a fifth fire, according to KABC, Diamond Bar is in flames. Stay safe, folks - smoke inhalation is extremely dangerous! Prayers continue for all in harm’s way.
OH good Lord the Tony/Arnie road show!!!
I believe (click on any area of map) blue is evacuated areas and red is fire/burn areas, at times red goes over the blue area. I don’t know how often it is updated though.
I live in Orange County, not far from the Yorba Linda fire. My truck was covered in ash this morning. My son’s Little League game was canceled. It’s warm, the air quality is terrible. Not a good combination.
Ohhhhh. Valencia AVENUE.
thank you, AZ!
I was watching Arnie & Tony and thinking, you know.. between those two horrible speakers, their pressers are really absurd. They represent the state of CA to the world. No wonder everybody hates us.

Regarding earlier reports of DC-10 tanker using San Bernardino Airport (old Norton AFB), Fox 9 saying they are using Victorville (Old George AFB).
Valencia is a major north-south street in Brea.
The Nixon Library is in the old part of Yorba Linda near Imperial Highway and YL Blvd. The wildfires are several miles east and north.
One tiny spot of good news is that the high desert this morning has a wind factor of ~nothing~. It’s so still outside it’s almost eerie.
I suspect that a lot of these fires will turn out to have been intentionally set. Do you agree?
Now we MUST bail out the insurance cos.
For the children.
