Waiting for update on Lake Arrowhead fire(s) and evacuations. No news stations are reporting. Evacuations are being sent down the dirt Hwy 173 down the backside of the mountain. PLEASE get us some information ASAP.

if you want updates on the fires in the arrowhead and running springs area go to www.rimoftheworld.net they have better news coverage than these places. homes are buring in the lake arrowhead area and all roads up the mountain are closed even to residents now.

Its weird I live in Ontario and not even a leaf is blowing.But down south by the fire it looks like a war zone.There are trees blown over and smoke everywhere,and the wind is really strong.Right now we are surrounded by smoke.There must be a fire in fontana because it is really smoky out that way also.

Simple Fire Solution: With the danger of fires in Sothern California every time we have a dry season (frequent) why do we not have a long term solution to prevent these catastrophes? It is not that difficult. We could simply build a pipeline from the ocean to the fire endangered areas and a sprinkler system (sprinklers twice the height of telephone poles) that could be used to moisten the brush as well as assist in putting out fires. Putting these sprinklers about 2,000 to 4,000 feet apart throughout the Sothern California hills would be a lot cheaper and a lot safer then the cost of equipment, man power and more importantly the risk of loss of life. Let’s solve the problem instead of reacting to it.

People should call 211 Los Angeles County.

Will the City of Beverly Hills ban wildfire smoke from thier town? Think of all the second-hand smoke they are inhaling. It would take a billion smokers a million years to outout the amount of smoke that we have seen in the last 24 hours. Enjoy!

In the midwest they go to storm cellars.
Start building fire proof fire cellars on your property (Not under your house). Clear the brush and shelter in place.
The fire burns over and you and your family emerge from your underground shelter just like the critters of So. California have done for thousands of years. Saves you from burning up in your car on some narrow canyon in a traffic jam.

CORRECTION: Irvine Valley College is closed due to smoke and ash, not Saddleback College.
