Smoke again

Filed under: Life — don @ 7:10 am

I woke up this morning around 5AM to get ready to go to the NHRA Finals in Pomona. The first thing I noticed was a strong smell of smoke. I knew this couldn’t be the Montecito fires because that’s all the way up by Santa Barbara. I turned on the TV and found there was a big fire going on in Sylmar. This is not too far from me but it’s very close to the Wideners. Here’s the Google Map of it.

  1. Yep. It looks close. They are just outside the evacuation area but not in the direction the fire seems to be heading. There are thousands of homes in the area outlined. The Wideners live near the 118, east of Balboa. The evacuation area starts at Balboa and runs west. They don’t seem to be in any danger except smoke.

  2. The map being used by the media is also off just a little. The evacuation order right now is only as far south as Bradford Place. That is a little north of Wideners. The maps shows the area as all the way south to the 118.

    As usual, the fire is primarily in the open hills and those homes that are near open space. Wideners are not in fire danger, but smoke can be a problem. If it gets too bad, Julie will take them to her house in Woodand Hills.

  3. Where is Devon? I have a feeling that he is way off the map, and not in any danger.

  4. Devon is off the map to the right/East. He’s all the way over in Pasadena.
