LA Fires
 
We're not so directly effected by the fires up near Santa Clarita but I don't want to throw more confusion into the mix in the other threads.

Roger Richcreek of the Angeles National Forest headquarters of the U.S. Forest Service said three major blazes burning in Los Angeles County -- the Ranch, Buckweed and Magic fires -- are projected to merge into one in about 48 hours, which would make a fire in excess of 80,000 acres.

The reason for the fires merging is "topography and fuels. There's nothing to keep them from burning together. It also depends on weather mostly. The humidity is expected to stay in the single digits for the next day," Richcreek said.
Let's hope this is wrong.

will it get a new name or will they call it the Magic Buckweed Ranch fire?

The "Magic" fire as it is called is pretty much directly behind my house. Earlier today we were under mandatory evacuation for a few hours. Then they died down for awhile, but now they are starting to flare back up. Some of my friends who live back in the canyon were given 2 minutes to leave at 12:30 am last night and still can't go back to their houses...

I grabbed my camera and press pass and managed to get some video. Take a look (these are still frames from video I took)
















(those are flames lighting me up!)



And finally an AMAZING video I got of a helicopter making a water drop...this is literally 200 feet from where I was standing:

I have a ton more footage from tonight (mostly firefighters battling flames and some shots of burning embers)..I'll post them later.

Glad to know you're ok, DF!

Thank you for posting. As soon as the news said Stevenson Ranch I was concerned.

We are getting a smokey smell in the air up here, from all the Santa Clarita fires.

Wow, "great" shots ... if that word can be applied to this situation.


My friend, Laurie, whom many of you know from MouseAdventure and other Disneyland outtings, lives out there ... and has most of her treasurable belongings in her car. There were times yesterday when her neighborhood was blocked off, but not evacuated (she could get in and out by foot).

I have two co-workers who live out that way, too. Oh, and one in Malibu. Sheesh, between that and all the other swankers potentially in the path of all the other fires, I've been a worried wreck.


But hey BarTopDancer, thanks for starting the northern fire thread. I didn't want to feel like we were getting short shrift around here!

Sean, I'm so glad you posted! I was worried about you. Thanks for the photos. I hope things continue to be safe ad I hope Laurie is safe as well.

Looks like Malibu is finally out!

It's about time, I was getting sick of it trying to pass Santa Monica off as its "Really good friend and roommate".

Those pictures are amazing. Glad that you are well, but holy cow, too many people here are in the real thick of it.
