Updated info on MCI event at FYI: rescue efforts were unsuccessful, military pilots tried valiantly to land but heavy smoke conditions prevented a safe approach, another effort will be made shortly to evacuate the trapped people in Lake Edison and China Peak using night vision.
I surely hope that reporter was mistaken.
#CreekFire CA National Guard trying to rescue about 50 people trapped at Lake Edison and about 14 people at China Peak. Rescue attempts were unsuccessful at this time due to heavy smoke and darkness. They are going to try again shortly. Multiple casualties believed at Lake Edison
