The Line Fire

[Happy]

They have started mandatory evacuations in my old hometown of Running Springs.

Say a prayer for all that have to leave. They will probably have their home insurance cancelled before it hits.

Here is a view from my house.

My SIL just got their mandatory evacuation orders. They live in Running Springs/Smiley Park

Terrible. I lost my home up there in the Slide Fire in '07. I wish it would rain more than it has.

Sounds like we’ve got company coming over. And staying until the evacuation orders are lifted.

They’ve changed the way they rate containment percentage in the last 5-10 years. Get alot more attention and funding that way. Not to say this fire isnt bad.

That thunderhead over the mountains was HUGE today.....that was a wing ripper for sure.

I’m in running springs keeping an eye on it before I leave. I’ll try and attach some video from my house and the end of the street before the sun went down

Wow! Are you in Smiley Park? That's a gut wrencher for sure.

Wow so sorry to see that hope they can get a line around it soon. Prayers for the community.
This has been a terrible fire year here in Oregon I have been on five fires this year and was put on standby yesterday will really be glad when we get some fall rains.

Looks like fire crews are doing a stellar job. It was a scorcher here in san diego today. 109 in el cajon 103 in mission valley 88 at ocean beach add humidity to all of that

 

[Happy]

The west side of this fire (the side going towards Running Springs and me) got a good help with the rain.
It really helped the fire to lay down. Now the east side is going bad and is heading towards Hwy 38 and those communities.

Stay safe.
