SCM .... Yeah I just wanted to mention it here in case people were wondering why not much is happening in our area... Yeah, the Canyon Fire really started to take off (1K acres in a couple of hours).... Gold Fire is doing pretty good in comparison

Well stated, SCM!

@McToddy - Yes, they shifted a lot of aircraft over to the Canyon Fire. Most of the aircraft on the Canyon came from the Gifford Fire near Santa Maria. Its like a game of Whac-A-Mole.

As per usual the point has been missed. To clarify, no matter where you go in the San Bernardino range. Or any where else for that matter. Issues exist, of one kind or another. No one town is better than another, we are all mountain folk.
