Sf4-- Have to check out for a while and make a living. Good work everyone. Much better coverage here than on the "old media."

Has the press released the arrested firebug's picture yet?

With or without the turban? Enquiring minds want to know...

That's a relief! Firefighters face enough danger!

I'm amazed they aren't choking on smoke up there.

Trust me, they are! My son sez they have to hold their breath!

My dad was a builder in the Nob Hill area near Running Springs during the 60's. Plenty of mountain homes and cabins in this area.
Anyone have an update on my alma mater, Rim of the World H.S.?

Thanks. I did a quick search and don't see anything. Glad they caught him. I'll give you a heads up if I see anything. You do the same ok?

KFI is reporting that Stephenson Ranch should be OK. They've been able to push the fire back a bit. A lot of hard work on part of the FF.

Heard ealier on KTLA that the FF in the area of Running Springs and the rest of Hwy 18 area to the east were very pessimistic about saving Running Springs. The planes that would be doing the drops are grounded right now because of haze and fog.
