thanks 4 posting the map. Lots of buddies are losing homes there now.

Control not expected before NEXT Friday

I am so sorry. I remember the Yellowstone fires and our bad fire season last year and basically they were brought under control when the weather changed at the end of the season. I would think with these fires in urban areas the FF would attack much more aggressively.

[lainie]

ha!

Was just catching up -- cannot believe how the fire in the San Bernardino Mountains is so far out of control now even more so then when I logged off about 2:00 cst this afternoon.

Are people still going around setting fires?

[Letitring]

I'll certainly donate to that class action cause.

[Inyo-Mono]

I'm about 150 miles south of you and we had those winds too.

[hoosiermama]

There once was a map with dots of current fires. Looked to me that they would have had to be set to be so isolated from the main fires. But that's my opinion.

[lainie]

I thought it was Needles, not Barstow?

[Semper911]

THIS IS WHERE THE PEDESTRIAN WAS.....NEWS OF ARSON SUSPECT GONE.....

Well you know what I am going to say...

WTF?

[dogbyte12]

I remember the Yellowstone fires and our bad fire season last year and basically they were brought under control when the weather changed at the end of the season.

I remember that vividly. It must have been 88 or 89. I remember because I was stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska, and they decided to mobilize us to fight the Yellowstone fire. They issued us jumbo canteens, fire fighting shovels, and we were packed and ready to go, and then it started snowing. We were very proud to have been asked to go. I wish Iraq wasn't going on now. I know a bunch of sailors, marines, and soldiers would volunteer in a heart beat to go and do some shovel work.

[BurbankKarl]

One of the channels said 150 homes in Arrowhead were lost...I suspect it is much higher than that....

ok. Gina Keating's a little late. :-)

yes, I was going to say that it was a day or two late. The fire is there.

[lainie]

sorry, I'm dropping the ball in my scanner reporting. Was looking at tv

[spectr17]

One of our hunting campouts, north of (LAke Arrowhead) Cedar Glen off Hook Rd. The area they said was indefensible a few minutes ago.

[al baby]

Yes But he has a drivers licesne

[Letitring]

From Arrowhead will the fire get into those dead trees?

[nicmarlo]

That I don't know....however, in Barstow area, there appears to be a possibility one might have matched description...but don't know for certain.....
