Santa anas are ripping and a fire broke out earlier
today. With 70mph gusts, the fire's now grown to
10,000 acres tonight. Aircraft grounded due to the
winds...Ventura county with towns of Santa Paula and
Filmore under fire, Ojai and points toward the coast
(like Carpenteria) in the line of fire. 1 death,
many houses burned (can't get a number tonight) and
evacs all over the place down there.

Might want to keep them in your prayers tonight.
Winds aren't due to let up until tomorrow.

my brother is travelling down on HWY 101 past Ventura to get to his mother in law's home so am trying to figure out if it's passable. Found a map from UCSB of the Thomas fire and it looks to me like the fire has crossed over the highway, that's when I zoom way in.

Tellin ya I got all teared up seeing this destruction there.

Thanks for your great reporting Redhart, I've been on the Thomas fire twitter feed and it's so slow from all the hundreds of tweets, can barely navigate it.

Anyway, at the link you have to zoom way out and/or move the map to see where the fire map is in Ventura.

thanks for the map--good map. I'd say it's going to be
rough going trying to get through the 101 through
Ventura area. Even if open (I would check the CHP
link). I don't see hard closures on 101, but I do on
150, and reports of fire from N I-5 through Newhall
(Creek fire).

Even if open, it's going to be nasty going with
evacuees... lots of reports of heavy traffic and
changing conditions. Road could be open when you leave,
but closed when you get there.

Good luck to your brother.

Reports coming in of fire in the divider of hwy 101
near Ventura along the coast. Be cautious tonight if
you have to venture into that area as this fire is
still very active and unpredictable.

I'm seeing a lot of reports that this fire is now
closing in on Ojai (to the northeast of Ventura)
from the east. "Shelf Road" is reported now being
affected by the fire. The photo above is reported to
be from Shelf Rd. in Ojai.

If you have friends and family in Ojai,might be a
good time to check on them and encourage them to
leave and follow evac orders if needed.

Winds here 60mi to the ne of this fire at my house
have started to increase tonight as per forcasted. A
lot of us were hoping the weather guys would be
wrong this time,but seems we can't catch a break.

Use caution on U/S 101 between Ventura and Santa

highway. Expect intermittent closures and/or CHP

It looks like there has been a body found..

"Overnight, a body was also found by the site of a
vehicle accident near Wheeler Canyon, close to the
Thomas Fire's burn area, authorities said Thursday.

"The cause of death has not been determined," said
Senior Deputy Tim Lohman with the Ventura County
Sheriff's Office. "It appears it might have been a
vehicle accident.""

ARPINTERIA, Calif. - [Update Thursday 2:12 p.m. PST]

Fire officials held an impromptu press conference in
Faria Beach Thursday afternoon. In it they confirmed
a palm tree farm, often a well-known site for
travelers up and down the coast, burned down in
Thursday's fire flare-up.

The Thomas Fire came dangerously close to homes but
firefighters were able to prevent any homes from
burning up after an hour's firefight.

The Thomas Fire stands at 96,000 acres and is 5
percent contained, although those numbers are
expected to change. Over 2,500 firefighters from
different states are battling the blaze. At least
50,000 people have been evacuated and 15,000
structures remain threatened.

Ventura County Fire Capt. Rich Macklin said that if
the predicted winds materialize later this evening,
this fire will cross into Santa Barbara County and
the community of Carpinteria will be heavily
impacted.

The #Thomasfire has destroyed 427 structures and
burned 115,000 acres.(abc news)

Other word has it that it's now moved away from the
Fillmore area and into areas.

It has been moving north into wildlands...the
caution part is it's still seems to be attempting to
flank Santa Barbara area from the east.

If the winds cooperate tonight and tomorrow, perhaps
they can at least push it into less dangerous area

Subject: Re: wildfire: thomas incident/ventura : Carpenteria evacuations


new figures: 132,000 acres and 10% containment (up
from 5%..that's good news).

More good news--they've held the fire back from
Carpenteria on that west flank (the part that was
eating 101 from south to north), and it looks like
Fillmore is still there this morning...and they have
held that south-east front from the town.

even more good news...at least at the moment, winds
are minimal and in some places, "calm". If that
holds until they get the planes up, they might make
some real progress on this bitch today.

Caveat: still under a red flag warning and all have
been warned that Santa Ana's could whip up again at
any time...this warning last until Sunday.

Just updated...
12/9 early morning MODIS thermal map shows burn
activity in the #LosPadresNF NW of #Fillmore, on
the Camenio Cielo west and southwest of Matilija Hot
Springs, and south of Lake Casitas

there are a number of homes in the Matilija canyon,
and at one point over the scanner last night, they
had to bring in engines to make a line to protect
the homes. Last I heard, it was a successful
standoff.

While city of Ventura is now out of danger, the
active fire has moved north (north west and north
east) and those areas are still very dangerous and
further new evacuations may be still called as the
fire continues to march and spread north.

Subject: Re: wildfire: thomas incident/ventura : Fire officially in S. Barb co


update: Per Mike Eliason SBCFire PIO "The fire is
now officially in Santa Barbara County by Divide
Peak. This was expected movement and no reason to be
panicked, but everyone should remain vigilant as
they would anytime there’s a fire. Progressively
moving to west"

Personal observation: today, from my vantage point
55 mi ne of fires, I can see the fire has erupted on
both east side and west side. This fire has two
heads which have been very active most of the day.
The winds have picked up a little out of the east
today (Santa ana's), no where near what they were
the night this broke out, but definitely stronger
than yesterday's. That could be what's going on

Subject: Re: wildfire: thomas incident/ventura : Carpenteria stand


Listening to scanner... the winds are pushing the
fire toward Carpenteria from the east and down the
slope. Fire fighters are preparing to make a stand
along hwy 150 and preparing to call for new evacs.
Per scanner, fire is about 3/4 mi from hwy now and
winds are still rising in the area.

They had sort of expected this from the forcasts
earlier today and have fire fighting resources lined
up.

showing the fire approaching Carpinteria from the east.
You can make out the flashing lights of emergency
vehicles between the camera and the fire. Going to be a
long night for them.

Winds erratic. three more strike teams
incoming...evacuations being set up. Will pass along any
evac info if that is posted.

Fire was 150 yards from major power lines (per scanner),
sounds like they are shutting down power as the fire
approaches for safety...unfortunately that has put a lot
of people in the area in the dark. No idea for how long.

the whole "Shepherd's Mesa" area of eastern Carpinteria
(just north side of 150) has been evacuated and engines
taking up positions among the homes as the fire
approaches.

many strike teams stationed all up and down hwy 150 to
make a stand and keep this out of Carpinteria as the
fire makes a hard run for the town.

Official notices online now from Santa Barbara Office of
Emergency Management...more strike teams arriving. This
is going to be a major battle.

Going outside, you can tell the fire's blowing up down
there. It looks like the sun is trying to rise in the
southwest tonight.

apparently, SB emerg services sent an "evacuate now!"
text to all of the county, it was only meant for the
area north/east of Carpinteria. If you received one of
those messages and are NOT in Carpinteria, please
disregard (freaked out a lot of people)...county
services apologizes.

These evacuations are likely to be expanded soon, but
this is what we have so far..

the fire's moving along the ridge east of Carpinteria
toward Summerland and Toro Canyon. We may see mandatory
evacs for all of Carpinteria. Firemen are putting up a
very brave fight trying to keep it out of Carpinteria.

per scanner...they are very worried about the "collapse"
of the enormous pyrocumulous cloud over the fire. They
believe when that happens, it's going to create very
intense and erratic winds causing more issues for air

Update.. fire "creeped" last night as the winds
behaved. No major runs toward populations (although
it continued slow burning in wildland). That being
said, no evac lifting either last night as it is still
skirting population zones and a wind shift could
change everything.

Article and updated info:

Thomas Fire burns 230,500 acres, containment increases
to 15%
Posted: Dec 11, 2017 6:42 AM PST
Updated: Dec 11, 2017 6:42 AM PST
By KSBY StaffCONNECT


CAL FIRE announced Monday morning that the Thomas Fire
burning in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties grew
just 500 acres overnight, bringing the total acres
burned to 230,500.

While flames could be seen making their way down
hillsides in the Carpinteria area overnight, fire
officials said containment has increased back up to 15
percent contained.

Nearly 6,400 firefighters are still battling the
flames and fire officials say close to 800 structures
have been destroyed.

Despite the increased containment, evacuation warnings
and orders remain in effect for portions of southern
Santa Barbara County.

Thousands of people have been forced from their homes
since the fire broke out the evening of December 5 in
Santa Paula.

Sunday, smoke and ash were affecting all of Santa
Barbara County and even portions of San Luis Obispo
County.

Because of this, masks will be distributed again
Monday in Lompoc, Goleta, Santa Barbara, and
Carpinteria.

A large majority of schools in Santa Barbara have also
announced closures for Monday and some for the entire
week.

The cause remains under investigation.

Subject: Re: wildfire: thomas incident/ventura :/Fillmore/east front breakout


On the somewhat forgotten eastern front, the fire's
been creeping around some steep cliffs. While the 747
tanker (VLAT) was hitting it yesterday, at some point
in the early morning it chewed through retardant lines
and has sent a finger of flame down behind Fillmore
along Hwy 126. They have closed a few of the roads in
the vicinity and working at beating that back again to
the cliffs. It's possible some outlying homes on the
backside of Fillmore may be re-evacuated while that
battle goes on.

There's also a report that a house is fully engulfed
back up 150 between Ojai and Santa Paula. Fire
fighters were dealing with that. The fire already
passed through that area days ago, but another
reminder that embers lurk and why fire fighters often
stay weeks (or months) after a fire to do mop up so
these don't reignite. If you're in an evac zone,
please stay evacuated until the all clear (fire
fighters have been through and checked for hot spots,
hazards). You may not still see fire, but it doesn't
mean it's safe to go back.

Sadie is about 42 pound lab X rescue. She's 13 yrs
old. Photo of her above as she was on adoption day 12
years ago (she has grey muzzle and eyebrows now!)

This morning, she bounced up and down when we came
down stairs, flipped on her back and had a good roll.
I haven't seen her do that in many months. It's good
to see her feeling so much better all ready :)

We Lost Dusty about 2 yrs ago, and Tazz about 3 years
ago. They were both "Salukis". Tazz was 16 and Dusty
was 14 when they left us. We still have Sonnet,
Tazz and Dusty's niece! She is 14 now. We also
decided it was time to bring in a new recruit. Our
new pup is a Golden Lab/terrier cross (and maybe a
bit of velociraptor..wow, she can destroy a stuffed
toy in under 10 seconds). we brought her home 10
weeks old earlier this year and she just celebrated
her first birthday :) Her name is Joy!! --and you
have to say it with the exclamation marks, because
that is her personality--bouncy, energetic, and
loves life and people (but maybe not that nasty
squeeky in the stuffed toys).

Are you hanging by the thread due to health? Fires?
Jobs? We need to find you a sturdier rope!!! (and
maybe a safety net). I hope the smoke from the fires
isn't hurting you. It's so nasty, I hear.

Ahh, Salukis, I remember now. I also remember you
losing Tazz, but not Dusty, how did I miss that event?
So hard losing much-loved family members, though they
had the best of lives with you.

Sadie looks such a sweetheart. She and Sonnet must
have missed therm too, so I bet they are thrilled to
have Joy as an addition. Glad Sadie is healing well.

Yes, the smoke from the fires was quite bad for a
couple of days. Please send sturdy rope too, or better
still a beanstalk. An accumulation of things really,
can't really go into it sadly.

Just watched a press conference on the fire by all
the unified agencies working on it.

Basically...they had a break today. Along the
Carpinteria-Santa Barbara coast line they had a week
"on shore" flow (opposite of the Santa ana's...
coming off the ocean) making conditions perfect to
do some back fires. This creates a larger buffer
between the wildfire still stalking around the
cliffs and the population and homes. The fire can't
make a run into town if there's no fuel there to
burn. Some of those backfires are still being seen
above the towns. they had the opportunity to do
this, and they took it.

The other thing they did today was hit it very hard
along the front with air craft. They did effectively
slow the fire way down around the populated areas
and, in some cases, divert it away.

There are some areas at the very north of the fire
that has gone relatively unchecked...they said they
will be getting to that fire, but their population
fronts are their first priority.

Questions were brought up about the front on the
east side that made a run out of the hills toward
the town of Fillmore earlier today. They have it
beaten back. They are hoping it starves itself...
it's surrounded by black ground (already burned on
the west... and sheer cliffs of rock to it's north
that it can't burn. They're keeping the retardant on
the path south to town and once the fuel is gone, it
should just simply die.

The Condor Sanctuary north of the Fillmore spur was
also asked about. Many are worried about the
endangered California Condor that is protected
there. they said those sheer cliffs are protecting
fire's path to the Sanctuary and they don't
anticipated burning rock and threatening
it...basically, it's safe at this point.

If the winds continue to cut them a break tonight,
they will continue to make progress.

they lost about 2,000 acres today..but that was
mostly in the northern front where it's wild land
and unchecked at the moment. Around the mountains
around Santa Barbara, they didn't get it out...but
they pushed it back and cut off a lot of the access
to the homes (backfiring and laying retardant
buffers down, cutting line).

they cautioned all that this could change if the
winds, again, come out of nowhere as they sometimes
do even when forecasts don't see it coming. So,
while some of the southern parts of the fire are
having evacuations lifted, for the moment, the west
front is keeping those in tact until they are sure
the fire can no longer threaten those towns. Best
case scenario is having those areas repopulated by
the end of the week.

latest update above...

also, due to the backfiring in Toro and Romero
Canyons above Carpinteria, lots of people freaking
out. As far as I've heard, these are controlled burns
and being closely monitored by teams of fire
personnel with the wind blowing from south to north
(away from coastal cities). No new evacuations in
that area are being called contrary to rumors.

**The east side of the fire is another story. this
morning there was a break out above Fillmore with the
fire trying to make a run for the north side of town.
It was beaten back (again). More retardant laid down
by air craft... but tonight, this stubborn area seems
to be making another run. A notice has been issued
that due to the threat of this fire that Fillmore
schools are canceling classes tomorrow. If I hear of
any evacs due to this break out, I'll alert. They do
have night-vision helicoptors working on the fire to
help tonight.

they've got an emergency air evacuation going on for

they get him out. He apparently succumbed to heat
exhaustion.

per hamm radio:
Air Squad 8 fifteen minute ETE to firefighter who has
been injured in ToroCanyon Carpinteria, emergency air
evacuation

There also seems to be a major flare up somwhere on
the eastern side of the fire (closer to
Fillmore)...and this is the first time we've seen a
major smoke plume today come up. It looks like it
may be further north than the previous outbreak.
Trying to get mroe info on that and whether that's

closer to the Sespe Condor preserve.

there are 2 or three stubborn spots they have to try to

Luckily, fire fighters have a good black line of back

this fire has now surpassed the "Zaca" fire and is now

Winds expected to increase on the east side (near

As I heard a fire chief say at a recent press
conference, "Welcome to Ground Hog Day"...

Yes, this fire is still going, and now the 3rd largest
in California history.

The good news: Open flames noticeably reduced. Line
building and offensive measures full speed as fire
fighters try to get a line around this monster. Smoke,
much reduced (but not gone--mainly noticeable from the
northern front of the fire in the Sespe
Wilderness/Rose Valley area of the fire).

Some evacs have been lifted (hwy 154 now open).

Many are not...and here's why:

Bad news: Weather forecasts are for major Santa Ana
wind event, maybe rivaling the one that just took out
Ventura and half of Montecito with hurricane force
winds. That should happen on Wednesday. In many of
the neighborhoods that interface wtih wild lands not
in full control yet, all mandatory evacuations and
road closures are still in effect. They do not know if
their lines are going to hold if challenged again.

While open flame is not being seen in many areas,
there are lots of little smoldering "smokers" that
they are not going to bet to by Wednesday. Any one of
these, once fanned by the bellows of the Santa Anas,
could re-erupt in a full fledged firestorm once more.
They hope that doesn't happen, but are unwilling to
risk people's lives on that.

Everything hangs on if the lines hold on Wednesday.

Here's the latest stats: "ThomasFire is 270,000 acres
and is 45% contained.
This 🔥 is expected to become California's largest
fire ever.
This fire is still burning strong today.
FFs are hoping to gain more control of this before
SantaAnaWinds return on Wednesday.
Containment expected to increase."

over 8,000 firefighters and national guardsmen are
battling this fire with at least 2 deaths attributed
to it (one civilian, and one fire fighter). Many of
these will not be with their families for Christmas
this year due to their job.

Thousands of residents are still evacuated..either
having lost their home, or unable to go back to
it...and probably will be over Christmas.

I'm hoping things stay relatively quiet for the next
24-48 hours and we'll see what happens when and if
those winds hit.

It's been a loooong hall. this is Kern County team #11
(from my area) who have been busting their butts on
this fire and probably will be allowed to go home!

The lines held during the windstorm!! Great news, this
is going into "mop up" and they have turned a huge
corner.

Evacuees will start being let back to their homes (if
still standing), some by christmas. They have to
check neighborhoods to make sure it's safe, even if
fire's gone. There could be live wires, toxic spills,
down trees and other safety hazards. They want to make
sure that power and water are restored before allowing
citizens back in. But....the process is starting.

here are the last figures I'm going to post unless
something totally drastic happens (which is not
expected):


Acres - 272,200
Containment - 60%
Structures Threatened - 18,000
Destroyed - 1,063
Damaged - 280
Personnel - 5,644
Engines - 407
Crews - 148
Helicopters - 34
Dozers - 31
Water Tenders - 54

You will notice that fire personnel has gone from over
8,000 down to 5,644* They are already releasing long
distance fighters to go home. That number will
continue to decrease until mop up is completed and all
who can go home, get returned to their homes.

These are the new "voluntary" evacs...

Officials caution, if you feel threatened, don't wait
for a mandatory, evacuate. Situation is very
dangerous and changing so quickly that you should
wait for officials if you see flames.

In some cases, you may need to evacuate before
officials can get a text out.

Now gusts are 65mph coming down the mountain and
still climbing..exceeding weather forecast

before yesterday in the Thomas Fire:

"The northeastern Ventura County community of Fillmore
was also still under threat from the eastern flank of
the blaze, where a CAL Fire engineer was killed
Thursday near the agricultural town of Fillmore. An
autopsy performed Friday determined 32-year-old Cory
Iverson of San Diego died of smoke inhalation and

A somber procession this morning is currently underway
as they transport the body of fallen fire fighter Cory
Iverson through five counties back to his home county
of San Diego.

Citizens in the fire affected area with flags and
saluting first responders lined streets and overpasses
as the procession passes.

Cory's widow, who is herself pregnant and expecting,
showed up at a press conference to speak and urge
fire-fighters to continue to honor her husband by
fighting this fire and putting it out.

True hero send off going on. We need more heroes

Thomas Fire Burns Into Second Day Amid Fierce Santa
Ana Winds

Fueled by fierce fast winds and tinder dry conditions,
the Thomas Fire burned hillsides in Ventura County for
a second day Tuesday, scorching 45,500 acres,
prompting tens of thousands of evacuations, destroying
150 structures and prompting a state of emergency.

https://twitter.com/vcfd_pio/status/937986092975865856


Fire officials expect the wildfire will scorch at
least 50,000 acres in the mountains between Santa
Paula and Ventura.
"The prospects for containment are not good," said
Ventura County
Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen.
The fire, burning just south of Thomas Aquinas
College, killed a family pet and injured a
firefighter. The college issued a fire alert Monday
around 8 p.m. and evacuated all students to nearby
homes as a precaution.

More than 8,000 homes were evacuated and 20,000 people
remained without power Tuesday. That figure was down
from 200,000 customers who were in the dark Monday
night because of transmission line problems associated
with the fire.
The fire spread extremely quickly. The Ventura County
Fire Department tweeted that the fire was moving fast
and was burning in steep terrain with 25 to 30 mph
winds.

At least 150 structures were damaged, according to the
fire department. One of those was the Vista del Mar
Hospital, an 83-bed mental health facility at 801
Seneca St. All patients were evacuated safely, but the
majority of buildings were left to be nothing but
smoking husks. The apartments on the skirts of the
facility had not yet been threatened by 6 a.m.
"Oh my god, just devastation for these people," said
Leticia Broida, an employee. "The whole hospital is
gone."

Mandatory evacuations were ordered for west Ventura
shortly before 1 a.m., Tuesday. Multiple homes and
buildings were reportedly burned in the area and palm
trees were on flames behind Ventura City Hall.
Due to the intensity of the blaze, fire crews were
reportedly having difficulties accessing the burned
areas.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office advised residents
to go to vcemergency.com for the most up-to-date
information.

While red flag warnings are now schedule to expire at
6 p.m. Thursday, "long range computer models are
showing the possibility that the Santa Ana winds could
persist into Friday or Saturday, which may require the
extension of the red flag warning," according to an
NWS statement.

quick map to help people sort of visualize what's
going on and where the fires/evacs are.

the San Fernando valley is pretty much surrounded by
the Rye fire in the north, the Thomas fire on the
west, the Creek fire on the east and as of 5am this
morning,the Skirball fire on the south. 405 still
closed through the pass last I heard.

I think what is so frightening about this fire is the
speed in which it is travelling...the winds aren't
dying down until Thursday from what I
understand...tragic for all involved. Lots of offers
of help from concerned areas nearby. Keep safe Redhart
and all those in evacuation areas!

via scanner City hydrants have lost pressure.
They're calling for city water to come out asap and
find out why.

Also, a batallion chief has been hit by a vehical
and taken by ambulance.

one ray of hope: winds are starting to die down a
bit. This might allow for more helicopters to go
up...also, Kern county fire has arrived and other
county help is arriving ...many more on the way. In
some places, they have only one engine to try to
protect whole streets..resources extremely thin. the
incoming help is crucial.
