Just heard from friends of my parents down in Oak Park. Their home is right up against the dry hills on the east side of town. Fortunately the fire didn't push into the residences . All the homes in the area have tile roofs and stucco walls and are of recent construction compared to SB standards. That probably helped.
Brush is on fire East of the semi does not sound like a huge fire response to prevent that, First trailer flly involved, cab ok according to CHP Website...
This is a Semi fully involved pulling 2 trailers with one trailer on fire both filled with cardboard brush is on fire full county response.
I'm proud of California.
Peaceful. Thank you for the photos.
C4C- That night was 'college night' at the bar, which means adults over 18 could get in to the event to enjoy the music and dancing, but could not drink alcohol. Usually in these events, you must get a wristband to purchase alcohol at the bar.
Roger, gratitude for you, and for our "other" first responders. We should be concerned for the increasing suicide rates among fire fighters. Edhatters, show them love, take food & gift/basket, send thank you cards: Station 13-- 4570 Hollister
Santa Barbara. Station 14-- 320 Los Carneros
Goleta.. Station 15-- 2491 Foothill Rd
Santa Barbara, and all others. We are in this together, just like we are there for you, Roger!
Roger, I too have had trouble with sinuses recently. It's not just the cold, but the dry air. Drink plenty of water (more than usual), and put just a dab of Vaseline in your nostrils to keep the tissues moist (don't make them goopy). Keep warm at night, but watch out for overheating mid-day. I wish you the best.
Please stop with the anti-wood burning agenda. You seem to bring it up constantly and now is not the time to push it. People have lost so much, no one wants to hear you complain about wood smoke today, OK?
As reported by many news sources, the Woolsey Fire did burn in a portion of that facility (the old 2,600 acre Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory now owned by Boeing). There was active work conducted at SSFL from 1949 until Boeing closed the facility in 2006. Lots of different kinds of work happened out there from rocket engines to nuclear reactors. Also dangerous and illegal waste disposal methods. This isn't the first time a wildfire has burned on that property, the last time was 2005. For more info just Google on "Simi Valley nuclear" and you'll find lots of articles plus a Wikipedia citation to read.
California does not have much respect nowadays because it's going too far in one direction. I was always Independent myself, but voted Democrat. California has pushed me center/right - or am I still center, they are just way more far left?

Edhat, Please report on the origin of the Hill Fire. Was it near or on a site near Simi Valley where a lab buried nuclear waste in the 1950s? There are lots of rumors about this. Thank you.
