They are saying on KFI that they have to stop this fire at Chatsworth or it could burn all the way to Malibu according to LA County Fire people.

Wow, I'm glad that your friend's house was saved. The fire protection is limited at best. Thank God that water truck came by! By the Grace of God!
Take care,

:) Glad something could bring a smile. The images I've seen yesterday and today will stay with me forever. I can't describe the utter devestation. May God in Heaven, help these people.

Glad to hear David Drier is going to be looking into the report about Davis and the military planes.

Very sorry to hear Congressman Hunter lost his home. Something far too many people are going through...

I thought it was a Hemit! Thanks! Backfire being lit at the edge of Rim Forest to try and save Rim Forest which is 18 miles from Big Bear. Rim of the World High School is a staging area. I cannot imagine driving Rim of the World at night!

The fire moved east from Simi into Chatsworth and Porter Ranch... Malibu is West of Simi, and South.

Have the same vivid images in my mind when I was called in to pitch the 6th & 7th against Yucaipa High in 1964. Gave up 2 runs and lost the game. (only flaw on my record) LOL.

I simply can't imagine that my old stomping grounds could go up in smoke like this. The "Rim" area has been considered choice for over 45 years. I do think that the fuel below the highway used to be rather sparse and I'm hopeful that if the winds subside, the firestorm can be snuffed prior to leaping the ridgeline. God Hopes.

Some airhead on Fox News just blamed the whole Calif debacle on President Bush.........
Sez his policy of clearing fuel in forests etc is a whole mistake.

Any word on what's going on in Descanso? I haven't heard a thing since early this afternoon.

Arnold will be in D.C. tomorrow night and Wednesday. Reporting Arnold was at a command post in Moorpark today -- Arnold saying the firefighters are risking their own lives to save people and homes.

Arnold is asking Feds to step in quickly to hlep and will be meeting with people tomorrow night and Wednesday to get help into CA immediately.

[Toidylop]

The fire subsided in the afternoon... It started picking up in the last few hours??? What's going on? Help supposed to come our way tomorrow!

Help me here, where's Descanso? which city is it near/what county is it in? thanks

[Conservative4Ever]

You know how easy it is to mispronounce netnames in your head? I know yours is let-it-ring but I keep saying "le tiring" to myself and it makes me chuckle. Just thought I'd share. hehe

[giggle] I always mind pronounce the name as letter-ing

Re: Descanso

At last report (about an hour ago) the fire was whipping around the mountainside outside of town but they were keeping it out of the community.

That part of the fire is USFS.
