Thank goodness last night I was following a car through most of the detour because it was not clearly marked as it has been when I've used it before.

That's because some self-centered residents feel fit to remove the detour signs. Pretty dumb move in normal times. I'm pretty sure I've seen these residents. Law enforcement will probably have to have a conversation with them. In the meantime, for this fire situation, someone needs to go through there and make those signs more permanent to ensure local yokels can't just do away with them on a whim. A cone is not adequate.

I'll say there's air support. Six tankers and other air craft.

From our home in PH, we are getting quite a bit of heavy tanker traffic overhead.

I'm gonna go one step further. A resident or someone on one of the many boards in Wrightwood needs to bring this to the attention of the Sherriff's dept. ASAP.

The verbiage being used in press releases is shameful. Calling dozens of homes lost "a very active fire" is terrible communication.

Any idea of the fire in this shot and Table Mtn is burning closer to Largo Vista or east of there closer to us?

I've seen what appears to be 3 DC10 tankers at once flying over.

It looks like we got a pass from the VLAT just now, with other tankers circling and waiting for direction.
