Kelaarin, totally agree. Not everyone wants to join Facebook. We should be able to access this info at a simple, consolidated site. Maps, up-to-the-minute updates, road info, etc. One handy-dandy page. Why is that so much to ask? I have four tabs up all the time, often more, when fires happen. And it seems like they are often woefully slow to update, leaving mountain residents wondering.

Rant over.

Cough cough... Plenty of smoke here now!

RimFire on Facebook consolidates those.

During fires, I've monitored on CHP CAD, newspapers, Office of Emergency Services (County and State), web cams, chat rooms.

When I was advising my mom of the fire in her area, and preparing to evac, I actually used CHP CAD and web cams in her area. Other sources were surprisingly silent.

Why isn't there a centralized website for Fire info in SoCal? Between CalFire, Inciweb, and local sites, I'm tired of having to look up multiple pages to get info; it's frustrating. Heaven knows we need it.

Yah he's a real pro, litrally!

Dallas is teaching our boy. He's amazing. Dallas that is, amazing with our kiddo.

Oh that's great, you go meet with Dallas?

Not to make light of the fires, however, my boy enjoyed Golf Lessons at our local course. Had an early lunch at the clubhouse, always good.

I'm fine but homes in San Clemente abutting the base may be threatened. Evacuations are being considered.

You too Cap'n

Thanks Goat. Stay safe.

The Hamline Fire in Burbank was about 10 acres. Winds were blowing pretty good at the time. LAFD and LACo copters did an amazing job. The ground fire fighters were awesome, tough terrain there. I’m about 5 miles from that incident.

The Christianitos on and off ramps on I-5 have been closed. I heard there is a fire in Burbank today as well. And this is only June. What is it going to be like by October?

Fox 5 news states 250 acres a while ago. You can Google it there are a few pics and video there too

Christianitos, not christianity, darn spell correct
