Bonza's link also has a clip about the tribute to the firefighters.. mostly just a reporter talking in back, though.

Yesterday, Michael Jackson was buried and there was a lot of press on it, but I think the media should have been more focused on these men who gave their lives saving others. My heart goes out to their families!

I didn't see much if any press on Michael Jackson. I've seen a ton about the wildfires though.

We saw nothing of the funeral for these firemen. I saw coverage for the fires, but there was a lot on Michael, too. I guess what I'm trying to say is that these men are the real heroes!

I haven't seen any news today, but like Pamplemousse, our air has been clearer today. We did see a new fire earlier but it was out in the desert and not the mountains and we haven't had much smoke from that (it looked pretty small.) We have watched the planes going overhead all day so they've been very busy.

The big fire, the Station fire, is 49% contained. This is a great interactive map courtesy of the LA Times. http://tinyurl.com/mwssfe

Two fires being reported in So. Cal. 1. Fillmore heading towards Moorpark (Ventura Co.) Some mandatory evacuations. 2. Norco (Riverside Co.) No mandatory evacuations but homeowners are putting their horses in trailers and moving them out of the area.

I bet you are, Bonza! Hope they get both of them stopped. Norco.. hope it doesn't go towards Pamy, or Scooter or Lanzee or Rosie or anyone else.. I was on my way from FV to Stanton to pick up a woman for radiation and where I got off the freeway at Beach and I405, could see lots of smoke at some area southwest of there, Huntington Beach. Also heard sirens. Not sure what it was but I later returned the woman to her home and decided to take Beach south but no more smoke by then, so whatever it was must have been knocked down.

Good site Bonza. I knew you would be watching. News reporting that Norco fire is almost contained. The fire department managed to direct the fire (no idea how because of strong winds) towards a golf course. They evacuated the golf course and the only burning area is on one side of the golf course. They are getting water from the golf course. Norco is sounding good right now. It is not near me at all, SEA. Pamy will be getting smoke for sure.

Rosie, yeah I figured not near you but if it suddenly started hopping, ACK.. Anyway glad it is out.. I think Lanzee is leaving for Vegas tomorrow and it will be better not having a fire going nearby.

The Fillmore fire (technically "Geiberson Fire") is at 16,400 acres this morning. So far, so good for us.

That is good news, Bonza. Channel 7 reporting that a 16 year old boy has been arrested for arson. He is suspected of starting this recent Crafton fire as well as the Oak Glen and Pendleton fires. Possibly more fires during the past 3 years. 16? What a shame.

I just saw on the news that the firefighter who was killed, Anthony Quinones, his baby girl was born on the 22nd. Sophia Grace Quinones, she's a gorgeous baby. Story said gifts from all over America were coming into the firestation (and mentioned that whatever mom didn't use would be donated.) Some good considering what that poor family has been through. On our way to dinner tonight, we saw another wildfire on the west side of town. One of the couples was late because their house was fairly close to it and they stayed to make sure it was ok. Just saw on the news that they attacked it with the helicopters and got it out pretty quickly, only 75 acres burned.

Anahiem Hills is on fire. Wind driven. We are under Red Flag Warning in our area, so I'm on patrol until 2:00am. I'll be driving the road every fifteen minutes.
