Southern California Members OK? - mbulriss - 10-24-2007 01:10 I hope all of our Southern California members are OK. We haven't heard much from them since the fires began. I know one of our members has been trying to reach his brother out there for a couple of days with no success. Mike Bulriss - hoping for rain in So.

We too are concerned for our friends. We just heard from fellow Blue Birders, Linda and Jim Marsh and prayers need to go out for them. They were evacuated from their home in the Twin Peaks area of Lake Arrowhead a few days ago and are living in their Bus near Palm Dessert. The following is excerpt from the message we received this morning (please note that Luke is their son-in-law who is also a fireman.) "Right now we are concerned about our house. It has been really burning close all around us since the beginning. According to Luke (as of last night) the fire was expected to come up Miller Canyon sometime today if the winds pick up (which they are expecting) They are hoping it will burn up to the area behind us that burned early yesterday and not continue but basically go around us and down Dart Canyon. He says we aren't out of the woods yet, but they think we have a good chance. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!! Our store in Running Springs is really iffy too. There's fire all around it." Prayers should also go out to Greg and Tim (O'Conner) who experienced some major damage to their property from the huge winds that hit California.

I work as a Park Ranger for the County of Orange, and the regional park where I work is currently set up as a fire base camp, new home to over 1500 firefighters from all of California, New Mexico, Nevada. I've been working 14 hr shifts, 10:00pm-noon everyday, and I'm beat. The fire officials last night said the fire camp will remain another 5-7 days. Well over 400 fire engines of all types in the park at all times, while the other 400 or so are out on the fire lines. It's quite a sight to see a "city" develop in 24 hrs, with kitchens, showers, maintenance shops, fueling, Incident Command Centers, news crews, etc. Where Curt and I live (me in Yorba Linda, Curt in Anaheim Hills) is away from the danger zone. I live next to a urban wilderness area that could burn, but in 20 yrs, no flames yet. It's a possibility, but I have a good break around my property. Lot's of smoke in the air, smells like a fire, and it was almost a 100 degrees today. Still trying to clean up after the wind storms...winds at the Category-1 hurricane level for nearly 48 hrs. Hopefully we'll get the park cleaned up (the oldest regional park in the State... _http://www.ocparks.com/irvinepark/_ (http://www.ocparks.com/irvinepark/) ) Hundreds of heritage oak trees, 150 yr old sycamores destroyed, lots of wind damage, but no fire damage at the park. We are waiting to clean things up, but because of the hundreds of fire fighters sleeping all over the place, and they don't want to disturb their slumber with the sound of chain saws. For now, all is well on my home front. Just glad it didn't make it to my house. My best wishes to those truly affected by the fires. got to grab a quick dinner with the family, and get back to work in a few hrs. It's a real mess...kind of surreal....

We did not get evacuated and stayed here hosting friends and animals from surrounding areas. My company has 300+ displaced employees just in the county. Rancho Bernardo is the adjacent area to Poway. It was also hit hard. Fires came within 1 mile of my house again this time but for some reason, high real estate taxes or prayers, we are safe and sound. Holland Motor Homes was also out of harm's way this time. The Cedar fire was within a few hundred yards 4 years ago before it slowed and stopped. Fortunately, my Bird was at Holland rather than out in Riverside Co where Greg and Tim are. We had a big Santa Ana windstorm out by Palomar Mountain Sunday night. Many coaches and sites were wind damaged in Rancho California where I usually park the Bird, including my site. It is incredible this time that so few people have died from such a devastating event. Authorities were overly cautious but that was good. Last time evac notices came too late for many who were trapped. We are still on fire but the Pacific is stopping the advance. Hopefully, weather will cooperate and we can get past this one. Tommy 2 Shoes McCarthy Poway CA --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Richard Hayden" > > Very nice message Mike.
