SoCal Fires - Pray for everyone, please!

I'm in Orange County and we were told to work from home today because our office is so close to the fire that not only is the air quality poor but it is dangerous as well.

Posting this because Farkers are great about posting updates and have been posting what's on the SD area scanners so that you can stay informed. There'll be a new thread each time one gets far enough off the front page.

I am looking out my sliding glass window looking at the mountain range
(Arrowhead, Crestline, 1-15 area ) and the entire mtn range is engulfed. It is scary. We are getting a lot of smoke our way. My sons teacher lives up in running springs/arrowhead area. She barely got to her house to grab things.

I work in OC too, a few miles from the Santiago fire. However, we haven't closed or been asked to telecommute. I think we should, considering the sheer population size of my place of employment. We'd at least get a lot of cars off the road, which might help somehow.

I heard about the new air equipment that will be coming in. I am hoping that today will bring news of more containment.

Yeah yesterday they came around and told everyone that we could leave early and work from home the rest of the day to beat traffic especially since the toll roads were closed a lot of people use that to get home. The other reason they told us to telecommute was the request by emergency services to keep the area clear for emergency vehicles.

I emailed with my cousin today. She said it took her over 2 hours to get home from work. Her brother was stuck in traffic for 4 hours. They live in Manifee and Riverside, respectively. How close are those cities to where everything is happening?
