CaptainUnknown Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 As terrible as the situation is, I have to admire the fire's aesthetic. These are some nice photos that are coming in. Again, my sympathies go out to those affected by the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 From those overhead photos it looks as if the park isn't in any real danger at the moment. But this DOES look awful. I pray that no one is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeboy Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I work at one of the schools that got evacuated from the Creek fire. We were able to see flames from my classroom window. Our classes are canceled today. Too bad I sill don't have my Disney AP; would have been a perfect day to go, lol. But that selfishly said, I do wish the best for all that are impacted.

Nrthwnd Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Just heard on the radio, the fire in Ventura county is covering 300 square km. Thoughts go out to all those in the area, affected by this fire. Edited December 7, 2017 by Nrthwnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Here was a map of the fire that as you can see skirted around Six Flags no doubt due to the air support. In about 10 years all this burnt area will be housing and business. Map of Fire path Dec 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Some incredible images coming in. These were sent to me so I don't know who the credit is. Wow. Incredible is right. I trust they're not, but they almost look photoshopped because of how surreal they are. I knew there are 747s and DC-10s in use to fight fires, but I wasn't aware of any MD-87s until now, so that's neat. The Md-87 fleet was grounded for a few years due to an accident where the retardant got sucked into the engine. The vendor (Forest Service contracts the planes out) had to make modifications to the dumping mechanism before they could be put back into action. Now back to SFMM...

Superbatboy Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 And to think this fire is only 10% the size of the one happening simultaneously in Ventura county. Scary times, we need rain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCXfreak Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Fires still bad here in Ventura County. We were evacuated Monday night around 11:30 pm. Never been through this and it was scary watching my neighbors panic and throw stuff in their cars, not knowing if we come back to a house. I did my best to get personal stuff, external hard driver, water and snacks and 2 bossy Dobermans in my 4runner. I drover away I cried because its was my house, something that I worked very hard for and didn't know if I would see it again. Yes they say its materialistic but when you go through this, you are not thinking that . You cry because of the pictures and any other memorable things you might lose. As I sat at the beach watching the mountains burn and seeing the flames get closed to my neighborhood, all I could do was pray and cry! Thankfully my house was spared but a few others did not. I was finally let back in yesterday to find my home smelling like smoke really bad. Shoot.............. I'm about to make Fabreeze & Lysol more richer with all I have to buy to take the stench out! Here is a photo from my front yard 1 hour before it moved towards our direction and we got evacuation notice! I ask that you keep the others in fire danger zones in thought.

Hope they're not too freeked out, still. Dogs are doing good! Fire is only 10 percent contained and is growing fast. Fires could possibly shift back our way and burn what was missed last week. Air quality is bad in are area. Here are some photos.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
