Irvine fire - Page 23

Kevy Baby · 10-23-2007, 05:33 PM

My co worker headed home early as the fire is heading towards him (Santa Margarita Parkway and the 241). Seems they have pulled many of the firefighters off the line in this area because it was getting too dangerous for them. As I understand it, several firefighters got trapped last night and had to use the emergency shelters/

This is cool, that live feed from Fox is showing raw helicopter footage right now, you can hear the pilot talking to them on his radio, telling them he's going for refueling and describing the scene in an honest, nondramatic fashion.

Uh-oh. The Irvine fire is heading towards the television and radio towers atop a hill near Portola.

Ok, this is where my office is. Please post what you hear. Or PM/IM/Text me with news from him. And if you had a street name that would be really super awesome too.

Turned out to just be a panicky spouse - he got home and called me to tell me it is nowhere near him

Only shows the San Diego fires for me - is anybody seeing it differently?

OMG so much fire ! It's a reasonably warm overcast day here - I'm hoping things improve before too long over there !

Whew. I wonder if he's married to our office manager (except she is single).
