Thank you justa! There are also lots of munitions in the area. We have a number of friends in the area and I am sick just thinking of all this. I am going back and forth between FREEP, SD County Emergency, and a local paper with a blog. I don’t know how to start a new thread, do you think it is needed?

If the Plant issues an emergency shutdown it probably deserves a thread. The main issue is what was their defensive plans in case of a fire line 6-7 miles was coming up from the south ? Were they hoping to have resources available to stop the fire before it hit the weaker distribution lines a few miles inland ? Were they hoping to get help from Camp Pendleton which is being evacuated ? The other relevant issue here is if some of these power lines pop, thousands will lose power for a few days. That brings forth security issues for the blackout areas. I will see if I can find any emergency plans for the reactor in case of fire issues. There has been fires in this area before, but there were plenty of resources available then to handle them.

BTW - I did see the fire engulfing what appeared to be a main communication tower on top of a hill in Camp Pendleton. Wonder what that was for ?
