Nice! Enjoy dinner and keep an eye on the Bridges!

 

They have just posted a new burn map.

Looks like its following Del Dios/Paseo Delicias towards Via de la Valle, looks to be south of my neighborghood and narrowing. Hopefully that means they are starting to get it contained.

 

Update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ4B8WzA9og

Bel etage + savenna A OK so far. Lets hope things stay that way and no other homes are lost!

 

Where did you hear that? Any idea what part? Would that include Crosby or Cielo? 6 sounds like a low number considering the extent of these fires (thankfully).

I heard the Village of RSF should be ok also. Does that mean this is getting contained?

 

Just was on channel 10 news its in Cielo. Its reached the water treatment center.

 

right now?? I thought that area was contained already?


I heard the guys fighting the fires in RSF are ex-Iraq oil fire guys, so thats good.

 

It was just on about 5 minutes ago. It didn't look out of control luckily.

 

I wonder where this thing is going to go. If it reaches the coast, then what?

Watching ch 10 now. Anyone know that website the guy was talking about to view the fires with a map?

Thanks

 

Any word on your place?

 

Ok I am back home but the air quality is horrible and we are still in the watch zone so my mom wants to find a hotel in OC to stay. Is there any hotel in a safe area in OC that is pet friendly that we can go to tonight? Or a hotel in a safe area in general that is pet friendly that we can go to tonight?

 

Most, if not all, hotels are pet friendly for this whole crisis. A lot are offering cheaper rates as well.

 

Jon and Chase, best of luck to you guys. I hate being so far from home at a time like this, I wish I was there to help my family out. They were evacuated from Del Mar pretty early this morning and went to Coronado. Last I heard from my mom, the fire was in Solana Beach, as far west as Cedros. Does anyone have any confirmation on that?
And like Steve Just said, the hotel that my parents are staying in (Glorietta Bay Inn) are allowing my parents to bring the dog and cat in the hotel.

 

update: Larry Hemill just showed Saviati and Bel Etage. The fire house is on fire and there are a few small fires behind the houses of saviati.

 

Thanks guys. The fire seems to be moving south of our place and the fighter teams are starting to gain control. It will be a stressful night, but I think it will be fine. Even if the flames get back to the neighborhood, the golf course has had all the sprinklers on all day nearly flooding the place, so it should be all too soaked for anything to catch fire anyway.

 

Anyone have any news regarding Fallbrook?

 

Any updates or info on Encinitas???
My Aunt, Uncle and two baby cousins live in encinitas. They told me it was not manditory evac. but they have already left and headed up to my grandparents in Newport, but I can't imagine the air quality is much better there. Anybody from Newport Beach (Fashion Island area) with updates?

 

I'm in the Balboa area and just went on a run. It's not as bad as it was earlier today.

 

Fires everywhere!!!! Good luck to all!

 

Fires have risen again in Olivenhain. I just saw a ridge burning there on 10news.com. I wish information was more complete!

 

my thoughts and prayers are with all of you guys and everyone affected, i wish you the best! stay safe!
