For those who might be outside keeping an eye out on the fire. It's headed for the 138/15 interchange, and heading into Phelan.
In a bit of irony, it also has a history of working as a fire bomber:

She was later rebuilt to an absolutely beautiful, highly polished aluminum bird and renamed "Old Glory"
She was on the USS Essex on it's trip to Pearl Harbor for the V-J Day commemoration.
Old Glory returned on the USS Essex to San Diego, where she fly up to Chino Airport.
She left Chino enroute Stockton where she sadly crash landed in a field near the airport.
Two members of the crew were hurt, thankfully none seriously.
But it will be a while before Old Glory flys again.
