Saw that on the news. Saw where the helocopter was picking up water from the golf course. I'd offer a place to come hang out but not sure how safe I am up here either.

This fire doesn't look good. I think Stevenson will fair ok. The houses it is heading towards are new construction. Only one (big) community for the fire fighters to protect. From there, it will end up in Granada Hills, Northridge, Chatsworth, Simi etc. Hope everyone fairs well.

Agree, once hits the mountains there is nothing to stop it.

They're showing it on channel 7 news right now. Looks like another bad one. Those super scooper planes are amazing. They are doing drops in that area right now.

Thanks everyone. just got home. The winds keep shifting which was the problem last time. They have some serious air support right now so I think we will do ok. And we live right next to castaic for the scoopers to reload!
Four years ago I never thought we would make it out. This looks pretty easy for now.
I will let you know what happens.
Right now it is burning between magic Mountain and Valencia Blvd. It is at the top of Valencia and heading west. I am south west of it, about 1 mile away....

I'll keep my ears open. A friend of mine got stuck in the Cajon pass after work last night. I told her to come to my house but she thought she could get through. She probably won't come to work today if she had to sleep in her car.

I don't think any houses were lost and i haven't heard of any injuries from that fire. Fire seems to moving to south/west to the 126, that is where i heard they would try to stop it.
Hope you get in touch with your friends.

Last word was that because the houses are grouped together it was eaiser to protect them.(no isolated structures) ....some that were under construction being threatened, but all the footage I saw was of fire crews saving neighborhoods and allowing the fire to burn away from the houses. There is some worry that the three fires in that area may join up, creating a huge fire front that will then proceed into the Porter Ranch area of the SFV. Here in Newbury park, far removed from any fire danger, the winds have layed down considerably this morning. Still a little ash, and the strong smell of smoke/fire, but nothing like the last couple of days.........Ray

Burbank airport should not be affected by these current fires. A bunch of smoke maybe, but no fires close to the airport.....
That GTO can't belong to a redneck, it looks as though it has all the windows intact..............Ray
