    Edison just filed an incident report, which indicates that their equipment was involved

    also apparently the fire started earlier than the crash of the drunk driver

    lots of unknowns

    My son is heading to another big fire in the Yorba Linda area. Think this may be the one. Curiously, my pal and I rode there yesterday and got drenched.

    Sorry; wrong name; it's the Green Fire.

    OVer 4000 acres now, and two firefighters in critical condition with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. This went from bad to tragic in a matter of hours. :cry:

    I once did some work for a person that owned a house on several acres of property at the corner of Newport and Cowan, He told me that there was a natural pathway for airborne embers from wildfires that went over his house. He had constructed an extensive fire control system on his property.

    It's intubated. Autocorrect probably got you.
    That makes it dire for these guys.

    I wonder why they haven't moved the train away from the fire near Brush Canyon.

    Returning home from the desert today we saw this fire on the northern side of 91. We also saw 8-9 big rigs flipped on their side out by the 210 and 15 freeways.
