No Nana said they renamed the area Erwin Lake it is next to Sugar Loaf. I know they still address it for postage as Big Bear City

You're welcome.

We had major fires all over Az last year, so I know a little of what you guys are going through.

How close are you to some of these fires?

You all be careful out there.

Isn't that the second FF lost? I thought I'd read about one who died yesterday.

I THINK.

Not a scanner update, but a ch. 7 (ABC) update:

Reporter in Big Bear. Says Fawnskin majorly threatened, winds are pushing fire up the canyon. Video shown of Big Bear Village - looks deserted. Only people they've found up there were the people who operate Rite-Aid, who stayed behind to get food/munchies/water to the FFs.

FF reporting fire just south of Fredalba, Runing Springs area. Estimates fire will push up to that area and Mount R in 2 to 3 hours.

Mount R is the huge "R" you see on the mountain just north of Redlands, just to the huge arrowhead on the mountain over above SAn Bernandino.

FF not willing to commit his guys into that area with errsctic winds in canyon
