Lilac Fire grows to 3,000 acres, threatens 5,000 structures
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/sd-me-fire-i15-story.html

“"Its incumbent on all the people in this area to stay alert, stay informed and, if you feel it's important, self-evacuate and get out of the way of this fast moving fire,” said San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore. “...Don’t necessarily wait for that deputy to knock on your door. There aren’t that many of us out there.”

Residents in north Vista, Oceanside and Bonsall also should be prepare to evacuate as the fire continues burning unchecked, officials said."

""This is a wind driven fire that is moving at a dangerous rate,” CalFire Capt. Jon Heggie said. “This is an extremely dynamic situation. We're trying our best to get out ahead of it to try and keep people safe."

A number of evacuation centers were set up.

Three overnight shelters were set up at East Valley Community Center on 2245 East Valley Parkway, Stagecoach Community Park in*Carlsbad*at 3420 Camino de Los Coches and Bostonia Recreation Center in El Cajon at 1049 Bostonia Street.

Temporary evacuation centers were set up at Fallbrook High School on 2400 South Stage Coach Lane and the Forum shopping center in Carlsbad at 1923 Calle Barcelona.

There will likely be more evacuations ordered overnight for residents living in the area, said Ron Lane, the county's Deputy Chief Administrative Officer who oversees public safety.

"This is not over,” he said. “...This is a very dangerous period of time we are going through in the County of San Diego over the next 24 to 48 hours."

Residents who own animals were told they could bring horses and other livestock to the San Diego County fairgrounds in*Del Mar, about 30 miles from Bonsall, for safety."

We have family and many friends in San Diego, so we are watching that area closely too. Sending more “big squishy hugs” to IQ, mistivon and everyone else affected, even by smoke. Protect your lungs!

Fires rage from San Diego to the San Fernando Valley
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-socal-fires-20171207-story.html

"A destructive wildfire driven by strong winds swept through northern San Diego County on Thursday, moving toward Oceanside and other coastal communities and forcing new evacuations as it consumed homes.

The fast-moving Lilac fire spread through the Bonsall area, charring 4,100 acres along the State Route 76 corridor, destroying 20 structures and threatening 5,000 more. Powerful Santa Ana winds fanned flames westward.

“People need to be ready because this fire could make it all the way through Oceanside to the coast if it continues,” Cal Fire Division Chief Nick Schuler told reporters Thursday evening. The 76 was closed at Interstate 15."

 

[margarita25]

"The LAFD tested a new technology Thursday: a drone that used thermal imaging to seek out hotspots, a high-tech way of directing crews to areas that need attention. The drone will also assess property damage, Terrazas said."

[margarita25]

IQuestion, how are you, what's the latest?

 

[margarita25]

"While flames were burning much less intensely, Los Angeles Mayor*Eric Garcettiwarned residents that it’s still an insecure time.

“We still have winds that, through Saturday, can pick up without any notice,” he said."

"A wind-fanned fire growing at a “dangerous” rate in North County has charred 4,100 acres, destroyed dozens of structures and is threatening 5,000 more, fire officials said Thursday."

Aw man, I hate to hear this, but I'm glad they are packed and ready to go! In the NorCal fires, Santa Rosa specifically, many people didn't have any warning.

raying:

Hugs LDRN! Hoping your son's grandparents will not be affected!
