    I'm in Simi and for now we're clear but its crazy pretty much all surrounding cities. Left work early to avoid getting stuck in traffic with all the closed freeways. With the wind going strong until Thursday puts everyone at risk. Stay safe!

    Yea no kidding, the whole area is a time-bomb at this point, its spawning new fires . Not to mention 4 fires withen 60 miles of each other makes it so hard to control let alone one but 4 ! . I'm down by Anaheim and we haven't had a fire, but 60-75 MPH winds have downed trees, power lines and made traffic even harder. Hopefully anyone who lives up there made it out ok tho!

    In Pasadena and can see tons of smoke from the Ventura fires 60 miles away. The strong winds are definitely making things more nerve racking, we get fires in this area near the San Gabriel mountains every year it seems. Hopefully everyone stays safe, if anyone needs any help don't be afraid to post and ask for it

    We had and caught a arsonist last summer up here by Quincy. He also started a couple other fires. Take care.

    Fire broke out in Porter Ranch along 118 fwy. Fire is spreading. Be careful out there. God bless all the fire fighters, medics, volunteers, and other people helping. Thank you all.
