Brushfire in Cajon Pass, vehicles on fire on I-15

[fan_since79]

Unreal. I'm watching helicopters drop water on cars engulfed in flames on the southbound 15 freeway.

Like people got stuck in that going through the pass?

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Yeah.  Incredible pictures, and if you're going to Vegas this weekend, forget it.

Fwy shut down in both directions. Gonna be many, many hours before the cars are cleared from the roads.

Several buildings now catching fire, also.

What the hell is going on lol

[Blarg]

It's called a brush fire, Hollywood.

Pics? Links?

I was about to say the same thing. Aerial photos are all over the news, and it's nasty. Plan your trip for another time.

 

Glad that I didn't buy tickets for the Boston series.

VHF, that's a great photo from Vegas. Nobody has that.

Did those people get out of those cars?

[Tank]

Fire has now burned 3500 acres, and 20 vehicles (plus one boat) were destroyed.

[Tank]

Did those people get out of those cars?

Yes. About 70-80 were just abandoned. CHP having trouble finding some of the owners. Apparently some people just simply ran.

There are no reports of any deaths, so I assume so. The fire was moving so rapidly that people just had to jump out and let the cars burn.

Man, the footage was pretty gnar.  

 

Channel 7 just showed a footage of an area about to go up.   Guy with a shovel was trying to fight it.  Looked like he was going to get overtaken by the fire.  Then all of a sudden a helicopter flies over and does a waterdrop on the guy and the flames approaching him.  Might have saved his property although the fire is still approaching his property.

 

Guy owes a blowjob to the helicopter pilots.  

[Tank]

Five homes burned and some 50 are threatened.

If the wind shifts, all of that smoke will blow in.

[gotbeer]

Did those people get out of those cars?

 

Yes, channel 7 shows smokejumpers telling people to get out of their cars and run.

Nice photo.  If you are going to Vegas.  Lancaster is beautiful this time of the year.

CHP has allowed cars to start leaving.

Can you smell the fire? That's got to be a horrendous odor.

[Glen]

I live about 15 miles away from the fire but the winds seem to be blowing it away from us. Making regular checks outside to keep an eye on it.

Vegas baby. This fire is so money.
