RP --- haven't heard, but if it's not on fire, it's surrounded by fires.

If only the damn local TV stations would merely show a map marked with the locations of the various and growing in number fires, I would be able to answer you?

SS--- what do you know regarding Rancho Penaquitos? And, any other areas?

Thank you!

Grand Prix (San Bernardino Unit, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection): 27,182 acres at 23 percent contained. The fire is located two miles west of Mira Loma.

I'm pretty sure Mira Loma should be Alta Loma. West of Mira Loma is Norco, which is not on fire.

There was a large section of the fire at 15 and Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Across Clairmont Mesa is the beginning of the Naval Housing section. They have stopped that fire from crossing the street. Right now - Navy housing is not at risk!

You're exactly right --- military housing. In fact, my medical doctor husband (psychiatrist) has been getting several calls from some of his patients who reside in those very units. To say that they're upset would be a gross understatement.

There's one in every crowd.

SS--- what do you know regarding Rancho Penaquitos? And, any other areas?

I haven't heard about Penasquitos, but I have heard some concerns expressed about Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch.

[ErnBatavia]

I don't see any smoke on the mountain (Idylwild)
