Anaheim Hills Fire

Mike L · Nov 15, 2008

As some of you may know there is a fire in Anaheim Hills. The Yorba Linda/Corona fire jumped the 91 and started this fire. So far we are okay. But we can see alot of smoke from the nearby areas. When we were coming up Weir Canyon we saw back burns being set. I will let you know what happens. Here are pics from our backyard:

The chemicle aircraft are landing up here in adelanto doing the reload. Literally a few hundred feet above on the approach.

Lockwood, hold the damn camera steady.

Are those houses on fire or are those lights?

Though I live in Virginia now, I am from Irvine and I remember dealing with the fires! I have friends in Yorba and in Anaheim Hills....my exwife...well I hope her house burns! I hope everyone else is ok.

Kiss my :moon:! My camera sucks for nighttime pictures when you add in the processing time to make it easier to see. If I took a standard pic you wouldn't see anything.

They are lights. The fire is about 3 to 4 miles away. One of the streets shown on the news with houses on fire is where we looked before we bought. :scared:

The smoke isn't as bad this morning. We are between two voluntary evacuation areas but that is "supposed" to be lifted this morning. Here are some pics I took a few minutes ago:

Well we were evac mandatory, and 1 hour into the fight and in a chaotic and panic from no where. I am about 15 rows of homes from the brush and openess near the water station in YL and had like a hour of semi warning. Loaded everyith on to the jeep and trailer and hooked it up to the Ex and the wifes suv loaded and joined a bout 2000 people coming down valley view hill leaving. The ash and smoke so thick by then that it was very odd and actually scarey.

GSequoia · Nov 16, 2008

Remember that ash is bad for paint, don't let it sit on the cars.

thanks for the offer. We are back home. We had a scare but not a very close encounter. It got very close but the winds and access to the fire lines for the fighters I think made the homes in my track alot safer then others. I did pull the crap outa a diaphram muscle or something though in a coughing fit and will prolly go to the emerg room or at least dr today lol.. Cant cough now or even fart without excess dieing pain. wifes happy though.

glad to hear your home is OK Robert. pain is good, it means you're not dead yet :cheers:

A good friend and jeeping bud, Sam, lost everything in the blaze:

He said they (he and Jeff) were down the street at Jeff's house trying to save it with the tanker and came to find out his home was up in flames.

Thank God his family is okay, however the bright spot is that I guess now we won't have to repair his dana 35 on the trail ever again...

Well I actually kinda wished my house would have gone up. AAA is great in homeowners and we have been wanting out for about 2 yrs now. just house sales are not what they need to be though and payout would have been substantial if it would have cought fire. We wouldnt even of had to move much. haha. I took picts of 100% of Everything in our house just before evac.

Oh well, now the whole property is littered with half burned twigs and ash, the pool is like a swamp, and the jeep is even gat a nice layer of ash that I will blow out with the leaf blower today and cover it with the car cover till fri.
