SD Fire Check-in

[creanium]

As the fires spread to more populous areas and to where many of us in San Diego live, evacuation orders continue to be issued and so it would be nice for us to keep tabs on members.

So, if possible, please post up your location and status and if you may need any assistance.

I'm in Sabre Springs (I-15 and Poway Road) and in no immediate danger, but we all know that can change.

[creanium]

I just talked to NetNet who lives in Escondido. She says she can see flames but they are still at least 5 miles away.

She also talked to ncttrnl and he was evacuated from Rancho Bernardo and is headed down to his parents' house in Chula Vista.

[Bimmer Pilot]

Watch yourselves !

15 is closed from the 78 to the 56 !!

Evac notices for RB and Poway !

I'm in Temecula and I know there was a fire brewing in Aguanga (good distance from me) last night....

[SYNYSTAGLI]

I just had to do a U turn through Escondido as the 15 has been closed. I could have probably gone to the 78 and took the 5 to work, but nah...I'm not trying to leave my family with the possibility of them closing the freeway back to them. On my way home I seen a big fire right off the freeway by the mission road exit in Fallbrook. This is gonna be a crazy day/week.....:(

[Bimmer Pilot]

This is just like '03... I was working at UTC at the time and remember all the crazy fires in Escondido, wicked view over Lake Hodges on my way in...

[Brk4Euros]

I am in South Escondido (Major Market), not in any danger currently but staying alert. Parents in Temecula are ok right now too, they are near Rainbow. STAY SAFE EVERYONE!

No this is already worse then 03!
they have not even had time to talk about the damage and loss yet.

Good luck all and stay safe!!!!!

damn.........apparently that map hasn't been updated yet cause the fire I seen is on the right hand side of the 15 in Fallbrook.....

[sdsilverm3]

Scripps Ranch here. Looks like we're getting surrounded.

[Paul]

If you're in san diego along any area with canyons / brush... pack up now and get ready to evacuate. Clothing, money, whatever. Just get ready to go.

You don't want to wait till the last minute to evacuate.

[Paul]

Scripps Ranch here. Looks like we're getting surrounded.

Yeah we seem to be somewhat ok at this time but that can change at a moments notice.

[scottd1975]

guys if you need anything call my cell.. 6196186383

[DTolo]

News just said at the press conference that this fire IS expected to be bigger than the Cedar fire.

[ncttrnl]

We evacuated to my parents and are now in chula vista.

We just kinda grabbed our important papers and some clothes and cruised out figuring it was a voluntary evac. When we drove out, the hill behind our units was burning. Firefighters were literally spraying water past us at the hill.

Last we saw the fire was within 100 feet of our unit. Hopefully they put it out but I'm not counting on anything.

[mitssn]

All the way in carlsbad it looks like it might come over the hill to the East. The Carlsbad PD reverse 911 thing called and said that maybe we should think about getting some things together in the event of an evac. WTF?!?

[scottd1975]

Dood you guys take care of yourselfs... If you need anything let me know

[bugzy]

Robin and Jason are on their way to my place in Del Mar

[DTolo]

My Bn is under a recall, and CSUSM has all classes cancelled today.

[mitssn]

My Bn is under a recall, and CSUSM has all classes cancelled today.

They evacuated 700 students from the dorms. Shelbys mom lives right over there and they are packing stuff up to leave.

Our friend Becky's house burnt down in RB this morining :o(

[1965truckrod]

I'm at the northern border of Santee, its dark and smokey here but I have already prepared to leave. Last time I thought the fire wouldn't get this far but it did. I am praying for everyone. If you are in this area you need to be prepared.

[Monster8V]

Just heard from my sister in Poway they are now evacuating Poway. (They were evacuating TO Poway earlier this morning, not they gotta bail too.) I might have real horses in my back yard to make my horses look like actual dogs!

[Brk4Euros]

It is pretty bad where I am right now. Not one touch of blue sky showing. Ready to roll if the winds push this way. . . Just got back from my buddies home right off the 15, drenched the roofs and helped his family get things together for evac. This is horrible.

[RavinJetta]

Starting to get stuff pack up here in Carmel Valley off the 56.

[BLACK 1.8T]

Everything is cool in Mira Mesa. No work today due to the fires. Hope everyone in the danger areas stay safe.

[Bimmer Pilot]

So Manny, how bad is it up in Murrieta? My wife just called me and said how smoky our house is starting to smell .

I'm a little concerned with our 5 month old. She's thinking of making a run out to El Centro with her sis and inlaws for a day or 2, since they've been evac'd ...

[Bimmer Pilot]

My wife's sisters just got evac'd. One lives right next to TPHS... Be Safe !

[scottd1975]

the babies around do not need to breath in that smoke it can cause asthma..

[kooz]

I'm in Scripps Ranch (15 / Scripps Poway Parkway). Our office is closed today (Scripps Poway Parkway / Community Rd.). I wasn't around for the '03 fires, so this is really freaking me out. All the local gas stations are jammed.

[Nefarious]

I'm in PQ and I've been evacuated. I'm at Lon's house with the dogs.

[Pireboi251]

Whats making the fires worse is the wind... for that reason they say they cant even begine to contain it until tommorw night....

its sucks >_<....well i had a exam to day so im happy i dont have calss today ^_^

Well theres a fire up in Rainbow right now...thats still a ways out from here. I'd suggest just have her watch the news and stay indoors with the baby bro, the air is no good right now for anyone or animal..

[DTolo]

I was hoping to get my Explorer back in case I needed it for whatever reason, but the mech's house is being evac'd. We got the Getta though, so we are at least mobile.

[socaljetta01]

the 15 is being reopened in both directions

[Pireboi251]

anybody know how the fire even got started?

[TOYr32]

My brother said Santee might be evacuated due to the smoke . . . I've never heard of that before. I was there for the cedar fire and a bunch of families towards Santee lakes ended up at my house which is by RCP. I think it would take a lot for the fire to get that far in, but this is crazy. Rich is in Santee also I think . . . wonder how bad it is.

[veedubber7]

if anyone needs a place to stay let me know. I am in point loma. pets welcome.

[ncttrnl]

anybody know how the fire even got started?

They were saying an electrical transformer blew and sparked it off.

The area across the street from where Manny use to live in RB had a bunch of homes burn down.

I just woke his ass up, funny thing...I didn't even ask him how it was over there...but did tell him my house was open if needed :D

[jr_scheiBe]

I got a couple of friends who live across the condos were we lived towards the top of the hill. They don't know anything about their homes but one of the family are ok in El Cajon and the other family is in Mira Mesa high shelter. Hope their homes havent been affected :(

[joe18tbo112]

My family and I evacuated rancho penasquitos. We're staying at a hotel in mission valley. Hope everyone is ok.

[jr_scheiBe]

plus i just heard it jumped the 15 again

[scottd1975]

how the hell is it jumping a 6 or 8 lane highway i dont understand that

[sensinitas]

how the hell is it jumping a 6 or 8 lane highway i dont understand that

Well 60mph winds + embers = jumping an 8 lane highway.

[GTIcrazy]

how the hell is it jumping a 6 or 8 lane highway i dont understand that


The news last night was saying that the wind is blowing burning embers up to 1-2 miles, so jumping the freeway isn't a big deal.

They also showed a parking lot at night near one of the fires and there were burning embers blowing all over the place...like little lights dancing on the asphalt. Not good.

I hope everyone is safe.

[ncttrnl]

how the hell is it jumping a 6 or 8 lane highway i dont understand that

You haven't been outside in RB. The winds were insane.

[Paul]

by The Wind!

[SYNYSTAGLI]

You haven't been outside in RB. The winds were insane.

This morning @ 5:30 when I did my U turn to go back home the winds were pushing my car around quite easily. Lots of 18 wheelers took refuge by hills and the ones that didn't I stayed clear of :D

[Bimmer Pilot]

how the hell is it jumping a 6 or 8 lane highway i dont understand that

Well 60mph winds + embers = jumping an 8 lane highway.

Watched some video last night of the OC fire. I tell you man, when the winds hit the valleys and create lift, the fire looks like it's transformed into a flaming river...

[jr_scheiBe]

ok right now at a news conf Ron Roberts said the 15 is now open.

[Nefarious]

the 15 is being reopened in both directions

I just heard I-15 has NOT been reopened and they don't have any idea when it will be

[gest24]

I jsut got cut out of work since Murphy Canyon was put on Stand By.

[scottd1975]

guys i am used to tornadoes being from the midwest when we had wildfires it was out in the open in someones field they plowed areas to clear.. I never realized embers could to 8 lanes of highway... wow this is scary hope everyone stays safe

[FunkTron]

this is bullshit.............air quality for the LOSS.........thank you SDSU.....:tdown:

[shiftyVW]

[creanium]

guys i am used to tornadoes being from the midwest when we had wildfires it was out in the open in someones field they plowed areas to clear.. I never realized embers could to 8 lanes of highway... wow this is scary hope everyone stays safe

During the Cedar Fire in '03 the fire jumped I-15 right before the 163 split right at Miramar there. That would just be your standard 16-lane freeway. So with enough wind, the fire can go anywhere

[scottd1975]

holy shit whats going to stop this fire anything? could it cross over and go south of the 8?

[aixagent]

stay safe guys.

[sensinitas]

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20071022-0922-bn22fire3.html

This article says these fires might not stop until they get to the ocean. Carlsbad, Encinitas, etc...

[scottd1975]

oh wow this shit sucks bad

[socaljetta01]

apparentally it is now into escondido over by kit carson park, and it crossed noth of Lake hodges, and going up the del dios hwy.

[TOYr32]

Thats southwest of me. I live in the community just west of the 15 and just south of Pomerado Road/Lake Hodges.

My tools aren't there but we did leave behind a bunch of stuff behind. We thought the evac was just a precaution until we started driving out and then we couldn't go back.

Needless to say, we're not dressing up for the Halloween party and, if my home burns down, I'm not bringing any homebrew.

Channel 8 just reported that the 15 has been reopened. 11:05AM

For those of us at work...this has all the latest news.

[sensinitas]

Channel 8 just reported that the 15 has been reopened. 11:05AM

Read the link I just sent. Second one down. There has been confusion, and the 15 hasn't been opened yet.

[DTolo]

Read the link I just sent. Second one down. There has been confusion, and the 15 hasn't been opened yet.


Channel 7-39 just reconfirmed with the Sherrifs Dept. The 15 is closed in both directions from the scales north of Fallbrook to the 76. And also from the 78 to the 56/52? (one of the two 50s).

The 15 is open between the 76 and 78 from what they are saying... not much, but it can give you the option of either of the 76 or 78 to get Westward.

[ncttrnl]

I just saw on the news, Chopper 1, the firefighting helicopter, is flying around where I live. I don't know if they are in my community or if they are trying to stop the stuff across the freeway from spreading.

The park we used to have the Hodges picnics at is burning to the north where all the brush and stuff was by the lake.

[Bimmer Pilot]

760 kfmb has just reported that they have reopened the 15 (for emergency purposes only)

[Nefarious]

Well, a lifeguard truck just drove through Lon's neighborhood and requested everybody to evacuate so now we have to find a new place to go that can handle 2 dogs and very sick father-in-law as well as Lon and his parents & cat.

As soon as we get to our new place I'll post up.

I dunno how much I can accomodate for, and I am not supposed to have pets, but under the circumstances... I am just inside the main gate of Pendleton right of the 5.

No surges at the gas station, and the 7-day store is not packed. I don't forsee us being evac'd. IF we get evac'd then it got REAL bad.

side note

SCE servers are located off Clairemont Mesa Blvd and the 163 freeway ;)

if that area gets in trouble and server is down, you'll know why

[GTiGirl]

Rob, Haley and I are packed and just waiting for the call. We're off the 15 at Carroll Canyon. We'll be heading to his office in Pacific Beach.

[Mr. Nobody]

I live about 5 miles west of the 15 about 2 miles north of the 76. So the Rice fire is pretty near. No immediate danger, but it did just jump the freeway and is moving west.

Rob, Haley and I are packed and just waiting for the call. We're off the 15 at Carroll Canyon. We'll be heading to his office in Pacific Beach.


We're right there at Carroll Canyon and the 15 as well. Fire is licking at the northeastern end of Scripps, out of Poway. Still waiting for the evac call before we leave, but we're packed and ready.

The Corrado has been evacuated. Price left his S4 to burn in its place (leased stock vehicle, he doesn't care) I'll be taking the R32 with me when we leave.

[Paul]

Remote areas of Poway is burning but not Scripps yet from what I have heard.

[DTolo]

Mr. If you flee, gimme a call, I posted it earlier. Cus if you get evac'd it might just travel up the 76 to the point till I gotta find a new place!

[DTolo]

Price left his S4 to burn in its place (leased stock vehicle, he doesn't care) ....

I'll fight traffic and flames to pick up the S4 and give it a safe home :):tup:

Really though, if you feel the need, get the hell outta dodge!

[sdsilverm3]

Yeah we seem to be somewhat ok at this time but that can change at a moments notice.

From my complex


Still there Paul? We're really getting surrounded now. The fire in Poway is worriesome because once it heads west it'll be coming straight for us!!

They were saying an electrical transformer blew and sparked it off.



I guess people will have someone to sue now. :mad:

side note

SCE servers are located off Clairemont Mesa Blvd and the 163 freeway ;)

If the fire gets down in that area, that will have meant we're officially done for. :(

The fire is right at my grandparent's door. They live on Paseo Delicias, which is what Del Dios turns into as it enters RSF. They didn't even take anything with them...

[scottd1975]

[sdsilverm3]

But yeah, anyone else not in an affected area should call their insurance agent pronto.

[SYNYSTAGLI]

Manny..........you talked to your kids?
How are they?
Yea, everyones doing great bro;):tup:

[DTolo]

Just got back from picking up my Explorer. stopped at the outlets in C-bad b/c the truck was ready so we had to burn an hour. Smoke got thicker than enjoyable during the time we were there. By the time we loaded back in the car, you could see the ash kick up when we opened the doors.

[GTIcrazy]

Sucks... Fox has a guy in Rancho Bernardo and he said that there have already been reports of some looting. I hope some of those f-ers get caught by the residents and get their asses cracked before the police haul them off.

Be safe everyone down there. I'm hoping that the Santiago fire gets contained in the very very near future.

I'd toss their ass into a burning house!!!!!

[scottd1975]

well lets hope carma gets them...

[Manticore1023]

you know they are in-laws when you haven't even called to check and see :D:D

heh!

actually, the last time I called them, they were still hanging around in case looters decided to take advantage. however, as of an hour ago, they made it to Point Loma to stay with their eldest daughter.

I guess cable service for Time Warner was having issues earlier, but it just came back online.

[GTIcrazy]

Looks like Arrowhead is going to get some help. ABC is showing a modified DC-10 that can hold 12,000 gallons of fire retardant surveying the Arrowhead area for a drop. That thing is HUGE. Crazy how slow and low the pilot of that thing is flying.

[sdsilverm3]

hope your out of Scripps

Yeah we're in Kearny Mesa right now at Dut's pad. Hopefully Paul got out as well?

Someone broke into our family's restaurant in Escondido. Bunch of lamers. :tdown:

If you have AAA, give them a call. They gave me the best rate when I needed renter's insurance. It was less than $100 for the entire year.

[Manticore1023]

I'd toss their ass into a burning house!!!!!


x2!

at least the news crews said they would fight looting by taking down descriptions and license plate numbers, as well as filming them.

[scottd1975]

thanks bro... for the renters info... looting sucks those people should die a painful death i dont know whats saddest that they are looting or they feel the need to do it..

[EDM]

Spoke to Net about 20 mins ago and she still hasn't been evacuated I also spoke to Dan about a half hour ago and he said they were packed and ready to go.

[DTolo]

On renters, we got USAA and it is cheaper adding to my car policy than my car policy was without it, lol.

Not trying ot be a tyrant... but that looting deal... that's the reason I made sure I have rounds to spare. Not endorsing the idea, but well... take it as you wish.

[scottd1975]

I dont blame you tiny all i have is a sharp sword which i have been trained with back in highschool. But i wouldnt want to have to use that.. I will be getting renters this week. We are not leaving yet but the valuables are in one car with the cloths in the other ready to go...

[DTolo]

&HIT! Starting voluntary evacs for inland Camp Pendleton housings. Even the Field Grade/ Officer's housings.

The fire is lurking into the Weapons Station and Camp Pend according the grapevien the wife got a hold of.

Think I am going to start gathering things up....

[jballou]

Checking in from Temecula area-- Spoke with a bunch of S4 guys and a lot of them have been evacuated.. The Huge house I house sat for 6months in the Fallbrook area---10,000+ Square feet---I talked to my buddy and when he left his house, there was a helicopter doing water drops on it. My brother has been evacuated--Pala golf resort, and my parents--talked to them this morning, but have not heard back--again, all in the Fallbrook area.

[gest24]

Paul got out a couple hours ago. All safe at his Parents.

[scottd1975]

good luck bro.. Hope the weapons station stays save or a big boom

[g60racer]

Just keeping tabs on who else has been evacuated from the fires.

My family & I had to leave our home under mandatory evacuation at 3:30pm this afternoon, fire is about 5 miles from our home at this point, closing in on the north along the 15 and on the east behind Scripps Ranch. Pretty much all of Rancho Bernardo, Mira Mesa, and Scripps Ranch are under mandatory evac.

We're all safe, exited to Coronado to my mom's home. My precious cars are all safe as well... drove the R32 here, and my buddy decided he'd swap his S4 for my Corrado, leaving his car to burn if the fires hit there. What a guy His car is a stock leased vehicle, so he doesn't really care. Still a great gesture.

[scottd1975]

were can i go online to see pictures where the fire is or to read what the current conditions are..

[Arts_1_8t]

my carlsbad condo is under volunteer evac. the house is escondido, i think we gonna evac also, my dad's there right now waiting for the word to leave. the esco house is right at 9th ave and auto parkway. right were the NC gtg is at. we gonna be at my auntie's house im mira mesa...but i don't know right now. had to work today but i cut out once i heard about the volunteer evac. 5 south was a breeze to get home, but looking at 5 north a totally different story.

From SD County Emergency:

10-22-07 5:02 p.m. CAL FIRE update: The Harris Fire is well over 20,000 acres. Mapping and accuracy of acres is difficult due to rapid rate of fire spread. There is 0% containment and the fire’s spread is moving westerly towards Otay Lake. Firefighters are focusing all efforts on protection of life, property, and firefighter safety. SDGE's Southwest major transmission line remains shut down.

The Witch Fire is 12,000 acres. There is a mandatory evacuation in Scripps Ranch. Fifty homes destroyed in Poway, 70 homes destroyed in Escondido, 6 homes destroyed in Rancho Santa Fe, an unknown number of structures destroyed in Rancho Bernardo. The fire is spreading in a west and south direction. The fire has crossed I-15 at Lake Hodges heading southwest to the communities of Carmel Mountain Ranch, Mira Mesa, and 4-S Ranch and south toward Peutz Valley, Harbison Canyon, the western part of Alpine. The head of the fire is burning in the same path as the Cedar Fire in 2003.

ALL Airtankers and helicopters are currently flying including the DC-10 supertanker from CAL FIRE. Citizens along the fire's edge are requested to stay away from any area that has helicopters or airtankers dropping retardant or water. These aircraft are trying to protect structures and have to be very cautious when civilians are on the ground nearby.

[scottd1975]

wow well the maps arent loading at all

[GTiGirl]

We left around 2 pm and are staging at Rob's parents place in West Mira Mesa. We left the MK2 at Miramar VW as it felt the safest place to leave it since we couldn't drive all 3 cars and I don't have a towing dolly or flatbed.

We're glued to channel 8 to see when we have to move to PB.

[scottd1975]

well the fires down south have jumped proctor valley road and are threating the new housing that is close to there...

[GTIcrazy]

Most possessions can be replaced...just be safe... I hope that everyone only has a little inconvenience instead of loss. Since I am a little attached to that 16V GTI, I hope that stays safe too!

[DTolo]

Evac now north of Sorrento Valley, West of Black Mountain Road, south of Del Dios (becomes Encinitas Blvd) all the way to the ocean. wow, that is Del Mar, Solana, etc... wow.

Now the fairgrounds are being evac'd, after being the safe haven....

Get out safe Lon and Jason!

[ncttrnl]

They are starting mandatory evacuations in East Chula Vista out in Bella Lago.

[scottd1975]

wow yea its getting worse down here

[mike]

Best wishes to you all, we have a mess here in O.C., not as bad as you but several of my friends have been evacuated, I'm south of the fire It can't get to me from where it is, but I have a large hill or mountain of dead grass and vegetation 500 feet from me thats the Laguna wilderness park, one row of houses that seperates me from laguna beach off the 133, so if it gets blowing much harder we may be in real trouble.

[DTolo]

News Channel 7 reports seeing ARMED home owners packed but waiting in front of their homes to the last minute before evacuating. In an attempt to not have their homes looted.

I Guess i am not the only tyrant. However, I wouldn't be visibly armed.

Just have to hope for the best for everyone.

[audiracer2002]

Yeah, this shit sucks. We left our condo when Scripps was evacuated since we are right on the freeway and went to my parents house of Calle Cristobal in Mira Mesa. Then the just announced evacuations along Sorrento Valley Road which is what Calle Cristobal becomes, so now we are at my office in PB figuring out what to do next.

[DTolo]

Anyone have any REAL news on the Rice fire? It was about 5 miles directly east of my house and moving fast. Can't find much info.

The Rice Fire is actually 3 diff fires. One of which is the Rainbow Glen Fire. The other two are in the Fallbrook region, and near the 76 & S. Mission. It is also being fed by the highest winds in the region...

[ncttrnl]

Yeah, this shit sucks.

x2

We still don't know if our condo is there or not.

I still haven't heard from the other Tony either. They were in an area really hit hard right around the hill from us.

[gest24]

Looks like something is coming over the hill across the 52/Santo from us. Kinda hard to tell distance with the dark but it's within sight.

I know it is a long shot, but I walked through the house and garage (tools and toys) with our video cam. Just in case... they say whatever visual proof you have to show your insurance providers will help to better settle the claim.

If anyone is still waiting to be evac'd, I'd suggest something of the same.

[Mr. Nobody]

That's a great idea. I shold have done the same as one of the things I did was grab my $1500 video cam setup. I didn't have much time though. Hopefully nothing bad comes of this.

NEW: RICE FIRE UPDATE
Approximately 1,000 acres have burned in the Rice Fire located in Fallbrook, according to the North County Fire District. The containment level was unknown. Trailer homes have been lost in the Valley Oaks Trailer Park, and condos were destroyed at Pala Mesa Village near the golf course. A mandatory evacuation is under effect, and residents are being told to go to San Clemente State Park.

I'm hearing Fallbrook is being evacuated on the news.

[Mr. Nobody]

I'm hearing Fallbrook is being evacuated on the news.

They started the evac as of this afternoon. We are already out. Sitting in a hotel in Lake Elsinore right now. yay.

From what I have gathered the Rice fire was centered over just north of Pala Mesa Resort as of about 4:30pm right before I left. I took a quick drive to the tallest ridge in my area and although there was a lot of smoke, there was no fire. Pala Mesa is about 2 miles straight shot over the hills from my house. The current wind direction as of this afternoon, was blowing the smoke about 1/4 mile norht of my house. The sky above mine was clear, but winds change and terrain factors in.

Here is my house location in relation to the Rice fire. The fire was just norht of the Pala Mesa resort near Reche Road.

still at home just north of the 54 freeway. i'm able to see the fire from where i'm at right now (somewhat, the smoke is hindering my visibility). just waiting on some voluntary evacuations and then we'll head out of here.

Has anyone heard from Tony Faye? (Call AAA)

I'm hoping he got out alright. Not sure if he's here at work today.

I hope everyone is safe!

We slept at Rob's office in PB last night - good thing they have big couches here. Still trying to figure out what to do now. All the webpages say Scripps is still on Mandatory evacuation.

www.kpbs.org has a live news feed. When Mt. Miguel burned last night, a bunch of tv/radio towers were taken out.
