Yep, very close but other than bad air I'm inhaling safe and sound. This one is much worse then the last Sylmar fire of a couple of weeks ago. It's hot out where I am close to 100 and it is windy not helping. Lots of folks out of there homes and there is a trailer park which is for the most part destroyed.
Apparently, they are looking at this 'of suspicious origin'.
Seems like everything happens in the San Fernando Valley.
That other fire is in the Chino Hills, Yorba Linda area if you google.

Paula that is terrible. Please let them know that they are in my thoughts and prayers.pswlrw wrote:I just found out that my 2 cousins (who have been joined me on my last 2 "No cousins left behind" STJ trips) have lost their home.Luckily, they got themselves and their dogs out but everything else is gone.
I'm always safe since I only live 'close' to these burn areas. Many folks lost a lot of stuff and their 'lives'. Lives in memories.

This was not your typical 'trailer park' but upscale mobile home park. Gone. Lots of seniors and retired.

Hi - I wasn't online yesterday due to my birthday happenings. (Thanks verjoy! 
) We are still safe here in San Juan Capistrano, but we do live in an area that could really go up in smoke. We have had close fires, but never anything directly threatening to us. There isn't much between our location on the map and the Corona/Yorba Linda area, other than dry grassy hills for miles and miles, so a fire could easily sneak up on us from behind.
We're ok here now. I'm so very sad for all the homes lost in this round of fires! And Paula, my heart goes out to your cousins. Please PM me if there's anything I might be able to do to help them.
I'm also just sick about all of the homes lost in Montecito. Those homes have been there forever and most of them were absolutely gorgeous.
Earthquakes? Californians don't worry about earthquakes... we worry about fires.
