    this fire is about 30 miles northwest of me....it's so sad....:(

    however, the montecito fire on thursday didn't get to my sisters house although it did come within about a mile or so :o

    It seems like California is always on fire.

    I do feel bad for those people though.

    I didn't know about any fires until I just now saw this thread. Where are they? I'm driving to Orange County tomorrow on the 5, will I be able to make it without much traffic?
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    i live about 1.5 hrs south of Montecito...this morning, the air quality was perfect--crystal clear. Now, 6 hours later, there is a thick haze over everything, the air has a yellow-ish hue, and I can see ash on my car...it's crazy. And scary for those who are in it...good luck up there and stay safe.

    that was probably smoke and ash from the fire in palos verdes although it could also be from the yorba linda fire

    Yeah my sinuses are out of control with all the smoke in the air and what not. Last year I had to walk around with a respirator. At least I did not lose my home. I had friends here who came very close to that.

    So, so sad.

    I'm nowhere near the line of danger, but my parents are up in Corona, so I hope everything is okay with their home.

    Wildfires are definitely one of the few bad things about Southern California...

    Please watch yourselves, those who live in Southern Cali, to be cautious of carbon monoxide poisoning. I experienced a case this last summer when northern Cali was up in flames...

    I am beginning to think gas masks might be a great holiday stocking stuffer...peace and prayers to you and your families...

    the fires are heading west into yorba linda and anaheim hills


    aren't you in rancho cucamonga? is it windy out there? my dad tried to take the 15 this morning and when he got to the 210/15 interchange he turned around the wind was so bad

    Yeah, I am. It's not all that windy where I am right now, but it was last night and this morning. I love the wind, but I hope it doesn't pick back up again, just because it's so dangerous when the weather is this hot/dry.

    Luckily, I'm at the southern part of Cucamonga (very close to Ontario), so fire has not ever come close to me.

    the places that are burning today haven't burned in more than 20 years

    fire is a natural part of our eco system; some trees here require fire to reproduce...

    these are called digger pines. you can tell when a fire has swept through an area by their presence because they are uniform in height and size...

    some trees take 300 years...lots of times i have noticed that wildland fires benefit the wine-grape industry because it saves the vintners money to clear their land...at least this is what i see in northern cali...
