Looks like they are dropping retardant around Lake Arrowhead northshore now. Earlier they said that area was ok. They say the resort is ok.

Another firefighter in Big Bear said he is NOT going to lose any houses, he was on his way to the Dam to draw a line there.

[spectr17]

If that map is right several buddies lost homes there

[heleny]

Channel 4 saying all SoCal residents should remove the ash from their car ASAP according to AAA as it is highly corrosive!

That's not good. :(

The news recommended conserving water and power when the fires started in San Diego.

[BreitbartSentMe]

I had heard yesterday not to leave the ash sitting on your car for more than a day or so before washing it off.

[lainie]

I just turned off California state board messages. I am so sick and tired of seeing ignoramii arguing over issues there. it's supposed to be for announcements.

anyway.

[lainie]

I heard the same thing. Oak Spring Ranch

[aCookieMomster]

You'd think they'd know....Maybe if it was realted to good or bad hair days they'd get it!

[lainie]

If Big Bear gets the hit, what mountain pass is east of there (and what desert community is there, if any)

[merry10]

where is oak springs ranch?

[Travis McGee]

NAVY PILOTS MAKING DEMO WATER DROPS IN CITY OF SAN DIEGO ONLY! STILL NO PERMISSION TO DROP WATER ON CDF LAND.

[Johnny Gage]

high winds in Hesperia, south of ranchero.

reporter has goggles, face mask on, large amounts of dust & smoke in the air.

Head of the fire, is "broken up" (scattered) somewhat due to the wind and flying embers.

[spectr17]

east of big bear there is Yucca Valley , Morongo Valley, Joshua Tree down on hwy 62

[CedarDave]

KNBC from South Hesperia, Rancho and Maple. Reporter has goggles and mask. Wind 40 mph+, smoke everywhere. FF talking about spotting. FF's are there to protect homes. FF says want all homeowners out.

[Silas]

This is even more tragic because the people who live in the LA hills are some of the nicest, down to earth people that there are.

[baseballmom]

MSNBC at Lake Arrowhead

[lainie]

I don't know? all I can see in google is Apple Valley? can that be right?

[Letitring]

Group of 14 or so people staying. FF's can't get them to leave. Arrowhead area, or Big Bear area.

[GOPrincess]

"I had heard yesterday not to leave the ash sitting on your car for more than a day or so before washing it off."

Thanks much, that info hadn't reached me. Appreciate it. (On the way out to the hose now...)

[BurbankKarl]

there are military planes and helos dropping water/retardant in Santa Clarita
