Subject: BJ? Sand fire--Santa Clarita area, Calif-- periscope |

This one is bad. It started earlier today around hwy 14
and has been roaring. There are reports that there are
some santa ana type winds blowing very strongly and
still hot.
At the link is "Periscope" which is someone shooting
live to the web of this fire. What you are seeing is
the fire cresting the ridge from Santa Clarita and
heading toward the San Fernando Valley area.

The 3300 acre number came last night, and this fire has
been burning as if it's daytime all night long
Last word was the fire was encroaching on "Little
Tujunga" area and Kagel Canyon area. there's a report
of some structures being lost in Tujunga near the
Dillon Divide.
over on Wildland fire, one post said "There's no closed
line, everything we tried failed."
If you live in this area, you best pay attention. This
is a dangerous, out of control fire approaching a very
populated area. Links to info pages are on my first
post in this thread.

They've found a body near the Sand Canyon area of the
fire. No names or details, only that he was male.
This fire's turned deadly now.

The fire's shifted...blowing east and north and
threatening Santa Clarita through Acton along the hwy
14 corridor.
We seeing smoke up here for the first time. new
evacuations are being called for left and right and the
fire fighters are scrambling against the erratic winds.
More houses went up, but I dont' have details.
I dont' have new fire numbers, but one fire capt said
it probably has doubled again in size.
Another chief said that Action is seriously threatened,
and this fire, the worst he's seen in 33 yrs, has the
potential to go all the way to Palmdale if the winds
stay like this.

pre KTLA @ 6am, 3,000 firefighters on line of this
fire. More heat and strong winds expected today.
10,000 homes currently under evacuations.
a couple estimates...one from inciweb states fire still
at 33,000 acres..but another, from a fire related site,
said that infrared imagine puts it at over 35,000 acres
this morning... still 10% containment
They've got the DC-10 hitting this fire.
..have to go to work, stay safe and hoping to hear from
BJ soon. If anyone has his email, would be nice if you
could get him to check in.

per wildlandfire.com (from fire officials): 37,473 acres
with 25% containment.
evacuees from the "middle" of the fire area were allowed
back in. Evacuations from west and south flanks were
still in place last night.
despite the increase in acreage overnight, it sounds
like nature cooperated a little, and they made some
progress.
They try to get those containment lines around the
population areas (the north-center) of the fire first,
secure it..push the fire back into the wildlands where
it's not threatening population centers anymore, then
close in the lines.
There's still a lot of work to do, and this fire has
suprised firefighters already...so while the east and
west fronts are still going, they have to continue to
hit it with all they have. The winds up there are
erratic, and while they calmed over night, could zip up
to 40-50mph gusts in minutes and the fire would be
taking off again.
They did a huge amount of backfiring yesterday to create
no-fuel zones around neighborhoods , important
structures (power lines), etc. A lot of the smoke people
saw yesterday were from the backfires set.
If they can get another good day of calm winds, they
might just tame this beast and allow residents to start
the healing process, get back to some sort of a normal
life, etc.
I think we can already see this is going to be one of
those "bad" fire season years. We got rain, finally,
over the winter out here, but that brought the fuel.
what we're seeing is very tall grass growth that catches
very quickly, moves very fast. Grass fires aren't all
that hot as a rule, but they travel fast... they send
the fire into trees and neighborhoods quicker than a
timber forest fire can...then catch the larger, bigger
fuels.
Sorry for all the posts, but on these large fires, I'm
hoping it helps people who might be or know people who
live in these areas affected. Please add info if you
get it and have access to new info.
Speaking of which...anyone know anything about BJ? he
lives down where this fire has been burning and I
haven't seen him on the board. Not sure if that's
because of this fire, or some other reason (bopp ban him
again?). Hoping he and his wife are safe, and he's
just on vacation or something.

This is one nasty fire Reds. Even here in Northridge,
the sky southeast is actually pitch black with dark brown
edges. I had to turn the light on inside just now.
All looks horribly ominous. So glad it is nowhere near
you!

heh, not this time...how are you doing? You may have to

Then again, if that plume starts blowing this way, we may
