Falling ash and blinding smoke are cause for alarm in Southern California Foothills as four major wildfires are actively burning. Fire crews are staged above La Canada Flintridge along the Angeles Crest Highway. The fire jumped Highway 2 last night and threatened the Angeles Crest Ranger station. Homes along Bay Tree drive are very close to the fires edge as well as homes along the north end of Ocean View Blv.
A fast moving wildfire also threatened homes in Pacific Palisades last night as well as a wildfire near Idylwild CA on Highway 74. The fire in San Gabriel Canyon still remains active as well.
Along the Central Ca a new wildfire is burning near Soledad.
Mild offshore winds and triple digit temperatures are predicted for today. Releative humidity has been very low in the fire area, fuel mositures are around 60% . Flame lengths have been averaging 30-100 feet with spotting and fire whirls.
