Irvine fire - Page 21

We can see a new plume of smoke coming from the canyon. And apparently they could see flames from the same window about an hour ago.

Does anyone know if FHR is being evacuated again?

Man, if I ran a news station, I'd fire all of these people!

I'm with you there. Sometimes I *really* despise the media people.

Oh, yeah, they are amazing.

It's so wonderful how everybody is helping each other. I love all of you. I feel bad that I'm up in Ventura county, but I guess it's a good thing that we don't have much going on here.

I had heard that there were voluntary evacuations for that area earlier. Haven't been able to tell much lately. The google map doesn't appear to be updated recently, as it shows Modjeska Canyon relatively untouched, even though it has been burning all day.

BarTopDancer · 10-23-2007, 02:08 PM

Can't find anything that suggests it is. The sites i am looking at still say voluntary evacs.

His buddy lives in Cook's Corner though and that is in the path now.

Evacuation list from the OCFA:

Immediate threat to 238 homes in Modjeska Canyon, 23 homes in Williams Canyon and 2,000 homes in Silverado Canyon.
* The OC Sheriff's Department has ordered a mandatory precautionary evacuation of the Joplin Boys Ranch - for information call (714) 935-6660.

Is there any brush left to burn in FHR?

And on the media (in situations like this):

While I have not been privy to any of the coverage of this event, generally I believe that they do at least a decent job of coverage. With this much going on, they have to run, effectively, continuous coverage of the event. There is a finite amount of things to practically cover and accordingly, there will be a fair amount of repetition. Even when there are seemingly stupid questions, it is often just a way (albeit, maybe not the best) of the desk asking the reporter a leading question to further the coverage.

We the people want information. Live coverage of a disaster is not where one sees the ultimate in spit and polish coverage.

Well we now see new plumes of smoke, water dropping planes circling and a news van perched up on one of the hills. The van looks white. I am guess it is NBC.

Does that mean they are getting water on it?

Gallows humor: for those who don't know, when smoke from a fire starts going from black to white, it means that they are getting water on it - the white is actually a lot of steam mixed in with the smoke
