Best to just ignore these people that don't realize these fires are spotting thousands of feet beyond and in front of the fire lines, being driving by fierce winds.

3500 now being evacuated from Anaheim hills, south of the 91.

I know exactly where these fires are.

I drove past these areas twice a day, six days a week on my way to work in the early 80’s. I used to commute from what is now “Santa Clarita” down to North Hollywood and later Pasadena. Even back then, I was thinking “One day, this is going to go up like a bomb...”

Look at that picture posted above of the “mobile home park” — and look at how close the fuel comes to the outside perimeter of that park. That’s poor fuel management right there, on a satellite image for all to see. I’m looking at it right now on Google Earth and seeing that the trees come right up to the edge of the buildings on the outside edge of the development.

That’s just begging to get burned.
