Fire Damage Around Advanced Access - Southern California

Hello Everyone,

Today I took a trip out to Advanced Access which is dangerously close to where the Corona / Yorba Linda fire is currently blazing away this weekend. This Southern California fire is currently being called the Triangle Complex Fire.

The media has been calling this fire one of a kind because of the way it is behaving. The fire is jumping from one area to another and in some cases completely skipping other areas. In recent updates the wind has changed and the risk is that the hop scotch pattern of this fire will go back and get buildings that were previously skipped in the last 24 hours.

The air is absolutely horrible and I still feel as though I've been sitting around a camp fire with the wind blowing the smoke directly back in my face. Eyes are itchy, throat scratchy and I have a slight headache. Needless to say the air is absolutely horrible regardless of the semi blue sky pictures I am going to show you.

Green River Exit Heading to Advanced Access

Gypsum - The Cascades is down this street which is an apartment complex where many apartments were burned. Was not able to get a moving shot of all the cars and people lined up on the right hand side but my heart and prayers go out to all of them that lost their homes and are waiting to get back in to see what, if anything, they've lost. This is probably less than a quarter of a mile from Advanced Access.

Down the road from Advanced Access is a Starbucks where many of us frequent. There is also a park near by where Advanced Access holds its annual employee picnic. To the left of the park is a fire station and the following pictures are of the Fire Trucks

These are pictures from the carwash right behind Starbucks. It absolutely amazes me that these people are wasting money AND precious water by washing their cars. Only in California!

Note:

I've been listening to 24 hour coverage of the fires from KFI 640 AM. Tune in on your car or visit http://www.kfi640.com.

Have any of your own photos? Send them to me and I'll add them to another post later today.
