I'm sitting having lunch at the station and saw the news about the fire. They stated it was 500+ acres. Nothing about any FF's. I hope it is not true. If it is my thoughts and prayers go out to our brothers families. It must really be blowing up on them.

I frickin hate vegetation fires. The conditions change so rapidly.
glad to be workin ot on a truck today, does not mean I could not to a local brush fire but at least its not goin to far. Who knows about tomorrow though... I will be happy / lucky to get off work in the am so I can go home and spend some time with family over the weekend.
We have just been told to drop our flags... damn this SUCKS!!!
One of the news channels said they were USFS but who knows they may have been speculating as the media often does. Godspeed to them regardless of what agency they are from.
It was 3 years ago last night that the wind driven Grand Prix fire came through Upland and threatened my home right up to the back wall. I have the utmost respect for these wildland fire crews.
My prayers are with the families of those who have perished and have gotten injured today. I'm on duty today and my engine company is first up for strike team deployment. If it gets any worse...you guys wont hear from me for a few more days! Its important for those of us "on the job" to take that reality check that some of us take for granted sometimes.
'nuff said for now.
confirmed, san bern usfs...
God Bless them and the families.
I heard there might be 65 mph winds coming. Everyone be safe out there.
