Wildfires threaten communities, force mass evacuations in Southern California - KTLA Team coverage

[@calvinmay35]

THANK YOU. I don't know why it is so difficult for news agencies to understand that starting off a fire report with an actual map is the #1 info viewers are looking for.

California is an Earthquake fault. Look up the Long Beach, California and San Francisco Earthquakes to see what happens to brick buildings. California is Hell on Earth.

Eh.. not so much in Cali.. remember earthquakes? We just had a 4.7 about a half hour ago. And also.. if you watch certain fire videos... it becomes like a tornado and most everything cept stone can get incinerated where ever there's air. So there'd just be a shell of the stone, but it'd have to be a dome bcuz then, how do you make a roof? If there's steel to make that happen...it'd melt.

But the environmentalist said no underbrush clearing

[@hazonku]

That older couple knows the drill, Grand Ave. and Riverside Dr. are the only main roads to get in & out of there. Most everyone that's lived there for awhile knows to just stay out of the way. You stay home, you pack up the important stuff, have the pets ready to go, spray your roof and lawn regularly, check your insurance, and just keep an eye on things. That way you're not coming & going and in the way of emergency services. Case in point, there was a pretty bad accident between a pickup & RV right in front of my sister's house on Grand the other day. Thankfully there were no apparent major injuries and it was far enough south that fire crews could still detour via Palomar but if that happens closer to where the fire is trailers with dozers & heavy equipment can end up having to wait until it's cleared. Most everyone over there knows you get out at the first warning or you wait until the last minute so you're not in the way of fire crews trying to get in.
