This one has quite a few threads about the fires. Maybe you can find some info you need here. It seems to have accurate, fairly up-to-date info.

This one is way cool. It looks like you can eavesdrop on the scanners. There are several to choose from so maybe you can find something here.

I know nothing about California so didn't know which one to pick. I am listening to the Santa Clarita Valley scanner and they are saying they are getting ready to open the 14 back up now. I assume that is a highway. They will be keeping patrols on that area all night.

They are losing homes on Modjeska Grade.

They said the name of our street as one to be evacuated.

OMG.. I'm sorry Bee.. hope they are just being conservative if you do have to leave...

Modjeska Grade.. sad.. there were only a couple of homes along there back in the day but I know that isn't the case now. I lived a ways into the actual canyon, beyond where the grade road met the road coming into the canyon.

Keeping you in thoughts and still hoping for the best for you..

Chilli.. the 14 is a highway that goes from Interstate 5, the major north south interstate from the Canadian border to the Mexican border.. 14 goes east into the Antelope Valley.. or to the land of Wargod..

Have the Oregon and any other firefighters from outside the area arrived? God be with all those who are helping and God be with all who live in the danger areas.

Good Morning. We made it thru the night, but are not out of danger.

Here is what our Fire Authority page says:
A mandatory evacuation is in place for Modjeska Canyon, both sides of Modjeska Grade Road and Modjeska Canyon Road as well as Williams Canyon and Silverado Canyon. Residents need to evacuate the area going northbound on Santiago Canyon Road. Evacuees can go to El Modena High School, 3920 Spring St. Immediate threat to 238 homes in Modjeska Canyon, 23 homes in Williams Canyon and 2,000 homes in Silverado Canyon.
The OC Sheriff's Department has ordered a mandatory precautionary evacuation of the Joplin Boys Ranch - for information call (714) 935-6660.
Mandatory evacuation for Santiago Canyon Road and Hangman Tree Road (Thomas Brothers page 832 D6).
Voluntary evacuations in the foothill areas of Lake Forest including Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills as well as the Hamilton Truck Trail area. Evacuees can go to El Toro High School at 25255 Toledo Way. Immediate threat to 2,000 structures.


We are Hamilton Truck Trail.

We are staying for now because if you leave you can't get back in.

Chili...I cannot thank you enough for the info last night. We have been able to listen to all the calls and know exactly what is going on. That has really helped us.
Right now I am hearing that some air defense may be on the way.

Quite smokey here. White with ash all on the ground, cars, roof, etc.
