Southbound at the 138 and Northbound at Sierra.

It does not appear you can get to Rancho right now.

Cal State San Bernardino is now officially closed for the remainder of the day 10/22, due to blowing smoke and high winds.  Scheduled to reopen Tues. 10/23...obviously could change between now and then.

Hopefully on topic...

I am scheduled to fly out of OIA at 3:30. I have a family medical situation out of state.

Does anyone think its possible to travel to Ontario via Lytle Creek and side roads?

Don't want to travel but kind need to.
Title: Re: I15 Fire - Cajon Fire 10-22-07
Post by: Wrightwood on Oct 22, 07, 12:41:37 PM
I would not recommend anyone taking that route at this time. Way too risky with a fire in Devore and the high winds.

AB, I agree completely, I wouldn't take that route. I don't know any other way to get to the 215 either or you could go through SB.

If you are really desperate to get out, this may be hard to make on time but you can do it: take the 138 west to the 14, south on the 14 to the south 5 to the 210. Take the 210 to the 15 south and get to Ontario that way; or from the 210 drop south on Archibald to the 10 and from there to the airport.

But be sure to check the status of the 14 first! It will take you through Canyon Country.

Where are you? You can still come up the 14 to the 138 east to my knowledge. The 138 east is closed after the 15, but I believe you can still take it from the 14 (Palmdale) to the 2... unless they've closed the 14 through Canyon Country, in which case never mind! Check before you leave.

From the north as Redneck girl (sp, sorry) says, you can make it.

You don't have to tell me twice, Surfer-Dude! Not even in boldface.  ;)

I work from home so I know it's easier for me than other people whose jobs require them to be on location. Still, if I were a boss and my people either couldn't make it down or couldn't make it back, I'd tell them to stay the heck home.

My husband is stuck on the 15 northbound, they are turning them around at Glen Helen and sending them back to Rancho.  They are doing the same at University on the NB 215, sending them back to SB..

He is going to go the 210-14-138 route...  It will take a LONG time...  but no other way home....

Here's what I've been told:
The Cajon Fire is primarily burning on the East side of the I15 and headed towards the new housing development. It's not headed towards the Cajon Pass but rather away from it.

Hi,
Long time viewer but first time post-er.
Thanks for the info about this fire.

Just wondering if there is another route other than 210-14-138 up here to Phelan.  Husband is trying to come home from Rialto!  ugh...
does anyone know if a Big Bear route is open?

Thanks!
Laura

I'm fairly certain that the I215 northbound to the I15 is open but cannot confirm it.

Ok, thanks guys...I've let him know to try the 215 route.  News reports say the N15 is closed up to 138 so i guess he'll have to take some side roads...which he's familiar with, but we'll see what happens.

If the 15 N is closed or the traffic is really horrible on Hwy 38 through Big Bear to Hwy 18 is an option. It takes about 2.5 hours to get to Wrightwood from Redlands.

Well made it home in an hour from South Fontana.  The 215 was open but there were a few obstacles.
Went 210-215-15
Sign said 18 was closed.
I had reliable information but it was much worse than described.

In these conditions I would think that using any of the N** road over any of the mountains would be considered dangerous.

No, there is still a fire burning off Glen Helen Road.  These roads need to be available for emergency personnel.

I park there at the 15/138 to carpool.
We went around the 210 through La Canada, came up Los Angeles Crest Hwy.
The Northbound 15 at the 138 had traffic going through.  Not a whole lot.  Perhaps people that live in the area?  Not nearly enough for the time of night.  South bound was completely closed off at the 138.

To clear up the confusion about the I15 closure.

San Bernardino County just sent out a county wide page that says the I15 is closed both Northbound and Southbound through the Cajon Pass.

If you listen to the highway station FM 98 or 99 you can get up to date information on I-15 the Cajon Pass.  I work in Anaheim and leave at around 5AM.  They report on the traffic quite often and is very reliable.
If you have a flight scheduled, I would contact the airline asap and let them know the problem so they can reschedule it for you.  Do not no-show your flight.  If you do the ticket usually becomes non-refundable.
