Structure or Grass Fire Location: VALENCIA BLVD AT CITRUS ST

Having lived in Santa Clarita for 20 years, I can confirm that this intersection is a little side entrance to the shopping mall, across the street from City Hall. Nothing there that a garden hose couldn't spritz down in two minutes.

Fire has wrapped around Lake Arrowhead a bit, burning heavily to the north of the lake. According to ABC helicopter pilot, looks like Arrowhead town itself mostly intact. Thinks that the fire's progress may have been impeded by yesterday's retardant drops. Head of the fire is on the old burn areas.

Says that the fire in Running Springs is heading straight towards Big Bear. Wind is blowing almost due north. Pilot claims Big Bear is looking majorly threatened.

Red Flag warning for San Bernardino county at elevation of 4000 feet or above.

[nicmarlo]

That's good to know, Ern...thanks for the info.

I'm offline for a little while now (again). Will be back later. Prayers again for the brave firefighter who lost his life, his family, and all the other brave men and women out there.

[ridesthemiles]

My guess is that is the intersection of the I-5 (wider portions) and the state hwy 14 (the thinner ribbons). I think the pic is shot looking south bound, with the heavier backed up traffic is trying to go north on I-5 toward Stevenson Ranch.

If I am correct, this is the intersection that fell down when the 1971 earthquake happened.

If I am correct, what's the prize?? :)

[Ladypixel]

Yup, I heard about him. As I said, it could be worse; there could be a big fire up there. Lucky that isn't happening.

[Brad’s Gramma]

You get to take lainie, LadyPixel and I out to dinner.

Ha!

[Ladypixel]

Uhm, I think your complaints are dragging the thread further offtopic, not her discussion.

Her question re: out-of-state fires is relevant, especially since they're shorthanded because their FFs are /here/ in SoCal.

[spectr17]

CDF is tying in lines now on Greenspot Rd. Mentone

[Ladypixel]

Ooh, dinner? ;)

[Silas]

okay. I thought that out-of-state fires were considered off topic, like yesterday. But now I know they are on topic because you told me that they are. Thanks for explaining that.

[BurbankKarl]

air guard is 168.625

415.550 try this too

[Brad’s Gramma]

Yep. Ridesthemiles is treating.
