LOS ANGELES (AP) ―

Firefighters Monday were working to hold back a massive wildfire that threatened to consume roughly 12,500 Los Angeles-area homes, structures and a crucial communications center as they mourned two of their own who were killed in the line of duty.

Havn't started up the LIVE cam today because....well there is nothing to see. Can't see through the smoke.This has been the biggest problem this fire. We always complain about the Santa Anna winds withe fires, but this time it's a catch 22. No wind means the smoke just sits, and you can't see whats going on with the fire. They also cann't really do air drops, because they can't see through the smoke.

Should clear out later, so I'll try to get the cam back up.

 

[Stic-o]

not much to look at but cam is back up

 

[Tbars4]

...The Governator was up in Auburn today...

Saw this vid on Youtube. Figured it would fit in with this thread. It's amazing how fast and violently these fires spread.

 

[Stic-o]

Cam is up again....bring your marshmallows!

 

[Tbars4]

...Jdogg919, thanks for sharing that awesome video...

...Stic-O, are you still there???..Your cam went off already...

..Am I correct in thinking the fire is twice as close to you tonight, than it was last night???..

 

[mrboyle]

Hey whats with all the damn smoke you guys are sending over here? Stuff's so thick it looked like we were on fire.

 

[Stic-o]

Sorry guys....Cam is up then down. Just can't do anything on that laptop when it's running

 

[Stic-o]

up...bring your popcorn

Getting closer to my place:thumbdwn:

 

[Stic-o]

Last night the fire got as close as it's going to get....or at least I hope. They we're doing evacuations just a few blocks up the street. I could here the police driving around with there bull horn. Kinda scary

Wife started work today, and being a teacher, they have postponed school starting for at least another week.

Fire is now over 122,000 acres
