there is a cable company up there....the Charter Cable office facility on the Arrowhead side burned down....

[lainie]

Good news. thank you

[Smogger]

Current fire is fast moving between Running Springs, Arrowhead and green valley towards the high desert area.

I just watched that report from Patrick Healey too. The dumb anchors are acting like their all relieved that the fire is moving into the high desert, but the fire is marching straight towards Hesperia, which has a much larger population and many more structures then any of the communities down below. My aunt has already left.

[tazman3]

Where did you hear that?

[aCookieMomster]

Wrightwood would have been affected in the past few days since it's on the way up the mountain from San Bernardino.

[Johnny Gage]

NBC4 live feed on MSNBC.

Anchor said he was getting new info in his earpiece regarding the evac of Hesperia.

[Slip18]

Email returned by the postmaster. Dang.

Have another idea. We'll see if this works.

[SCalGal]

The dumb anchors are acting like their all relieved that the fire is moving into the high desert, but the fire is marching straight towards Hesperia, which has a much larger population and many more structures then any of the communities down below.

They've probably never even HEARD of Hesperia. Thank God your aunt got out.

[radiohead]

I don't know if someone has addressed this earlier, but I have a question. I saw close ups of a neighborhood where one house had been saved. While the other houses were gone, the trees and lawns were still green and standing.

The fires seems like such walls of flame, I don't know how the houses are burned without the trees going as well.

Thanks for any info.

100 engines at Julian for fire fighting -- CDF at SDSO press conference

[PhiKapMom]

There is a list of evacuations on the San Bernardino County site for the Mountains but it won't allow you to copy!

I've only heard South of Ranchero only.

Scanner: "It is going to be a busy day, especially when it gets warmer."
Air Support has major issues: Smoke is ugly. Helis are having problems.
New website: San Bernardino Fire Information


- Hesperia: ABC7 just said the fire jumped the aqueduct. [message board]

[BreitbartSentMe]

leaving forces in town, going out to try and keep the fire flanked away from Julian. Fire had jumped hwy below, (79 i think) near Wyona, getting forces away from Julian, but will pull back in if town is threatened again. Large fires last night in dead pines areas around town, firestorms were really bad in the old growth areas. this came from fire chief. Primary goal is to save downtown Julian and every house possible. A quote from him (paraphrased) hopefully the greatest incident commander of all will help keep the winds favorable for them.

[Johnny Gage]

sorry.. I was just quoting whats said on the news feed.

[BurbankKarl]

[PhiKapMom]

This is only a guess but sounds like the houses not saved had shake roofs and embers lit their roofs and burned the houses to the ground. If the other houses had tile or fiberglass roofs, they are harder to have embers land and burn down the houses. If you saw green grass/trees, they most likely had a sprinkler system going to wet everything down.

If these were older houses, the shake is just like dried timber and sparks can set off the fire on the roof.

You're doing great, Dad!

pictures on KCAL, fire roiling at Rimcrest, "headed up the hill" -- not sure what that means for Arrowhead exactly
