Simi valley air command.

"If we can't make a fire break between fire and I-5 we could have serious problems stopping this fire."

Current conditions are difficult for air ops.

[dalereed]

" But another brother in Lake Elsinore might be in trouble from the Fallbrook/Camp Pendleton fire *if* it heads northeast"

The Pendleton fire is suposed to be 100% contained.

[TomGuy]

FoxNews reporting:

11000 firefighters fighting 10 different fires.
1/2 million acres consumed.
1600+ homes destroyed.

Small 2.8 earthquake a few moments ago in Simi Valley area.

Great success with current containment efforts in Simi Valley area.

[MSNBC web cam on again]

[BreitbartSentMe]

wind has shifted, things getting very dicey in Julian, according to live video/reporter from there. May have to start a backfire at the edge of town, and sacrafice all the houses inbetween. Prayers for everyone!

[JHENN22499]

I just heard it missed running springs on radio but jumped the 18

[baseballmom]

CNN - Wolf showing the devastation in area of Julian, although reports from KOGO saying downtown JULIAN is intact,
These people in Julian they are showing - homes burned to the ground, they are just shell shocked.


KOGO says wind is blowing due east at Julian area

CNN Talking about the Lake Arrowhead fire

Stevenson Ranch - FF say no major problems there per CNN- but fire in the hills about 200 yards away
FF not too worried about that, mostly monitoring fire in the hills, not too much fuel left to get it going

[Slip18]

There are only three ways off that hill. One is through Hisperia/Apple Valley (18); one is the 330 to 30 which brings you down to Redlands; the other way brings you down to right around Palm Springs, I think it's the 38. There is another way, but you have to have a four-wheel drive to drive over the northern side of the mountain. It's dangerous and only the local folks know the terrain.

I lived in Big Bear off and on for ten years.

Fire running through Running Springs unconfirmed by "Chief" (?)

[farmer18th]

Scanner: can't get the tankers in the air because of conditions...

[TomGuy]

News chopper about 2 hours ago reported all air traffic being forced to land due to low visibility (smoke).

[Slip18]

As I recall, Green Valley Lake is northeast of Running Springs. It's a small community. I think there's just one way in and one way out. I hope I'm wrong.

I can't find my Big Bear maps anywhere.

[farmer18th]

Scanner: may be false rumor about "running through Running Springs"

[maggief]

Running Springs ... may have been a false rumor

[baseballmom]

KOGO - Helo reporter, reporting from above area

"lots of destruction at Cuyamanga (sp)

Julian - "I'm over HS in Julian - Fire is burning SE of HS, smoke is blowing east, seems fire is burning away HS,

Looks like fire is burniing in Whispering Pines, Kentwood in Pines, Pine Hills

Whispering Pines " Flames I am seeing are homes Dozens of homes in flames, below me"

This is the SE portion of Julian that has been hit. Anything to the NW of Whispering Pines seems to be OK.

Mostly south of this area to I8 seems to be OK."

Per helicopter reporter from KOGO
