[spectr17]

Lake Arrowhead Marina, dam being threatened. Lots of homes and hospital there.

Celeb homes

[Johnny Gage]

Major action taking place to save the southern part of stevensen ranch.

(I'm assuming the Sunset Point neighborhood)

Reporter said numerous air drops happening real close by.

They've turned into a WONDERFUL source of info this past week. I never knew about them before.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Found it. There is a Cal Grove Blvd in Santa Clarita that intersects I-5 just south of Stevens Ranch. Towsley Canyon Park is just to the southwest of that intersection.

The sound was down, but didn't I just see Bob Banfield covering San Bernardino fires on KABC, and someone else on KABC in Running Springs near an Irish pub?

[SCalGal]

possible evac order was lifted for Yucaipa I heard?

Yes, I heard that too, so I guess I'm not having company right now. :)

I have to go out for a bit, because I have an interview. Wish me luck, and I will be back - and glued to this thread again.

LAke Arrowhead Dam area is heavy beetle infestation area. That area is a major tinder box. Looking grim

[Letitring]

Oh Lord. Did you get your scanner feed back?

[CedarDave]

Fire has doubled back towards the Stevenson Ranch area -- helos (lots of them!) dropping water to protect homes.

[spectr17]

I never lost my scanner feeds, also have my own scanners going, just heard weird audio on that Big Bear feed

[Johnny Gage]

All homes in south "stagecrest" neighborhood evac'd, winds have picked up, fire is generating it's own wind now.

well over 20 airdrops have occurred.

""massive army" of FF's/trucks being readied to fight this fire and save this neighborhood."

[BreitbartSentMe]

daughter driving east on the 52, east of the 15, and is reporting 6 large grey helicopters, one after the other with the water bags hanging underneath flew over her heading south. couldn't tell whether the water bags were full or empty. Anyone know where they're going??

[lainie]

good luck! glad to hear it. stay safe.

[Letitring]

Whew, thank goodness. All I have is cable news. I don't want to interfer with local stuff, or the folks who need it.

[Johnny Gage]

correction:
Fire nearing intersection of: Stagecrest road and hollyhock court

[lainie]

the last few FF I've heard interviewed sound very defiant and very buoyant. They're sick of losing homes. They're "here and not going anywhere"
