Fire Season from front porch
Fire near Pala Temecula Road moving East at about 1pm. This view from my front porch. Hard to focus on finishing my syllabus for class tonight . . . According to East County Magazine’s emergency reports, the fire started when a car struck a power pole, sparking the fire. Over 100 firefighters are battling the blaze.
I drove to the high point near my house to get a better look. Several folks up there checking it out as well. Fire Season is here.
Update: as of 3:53 this afternoon, fire is now 300 acres and 40 homes evacuated.
Update: as of 7:30 Tuesday morning, Aug 30, the fire is 60% contained, and those evacuated will be allowed to return to their homes later today. Last night’s marine layer really helped the firefighters.
