We have relatives near the "Old" fire in Castaic 3-4 blocks away.  I5 closed northbound.  Another in Santa Clarita "Tick Range 10?" but not sure how close.   14 South apparently closed. That's probably the biggest, multiple structures, lots of evacuation over 800 acres in a couple of hours.  Another jumped up north of the 126 near magic Mountain or so?  and now one in the Sepulveda Basin.  Approx 300 or so homeless live in there, they are hearing propane tanks blowing up.  Waterman Canyon in San Bernardino - not too far away from the fire the other night.  Orange County near Santiago Canyon.

Well, their Public Safety Power Outages are certainly successful .

The situation is beyond ridiculous.  It’s like living in a third world country.

In fact, I’ll start another thread to not derail yours.

Reporting the Tick fire at over 4000 acres now.  5% containment.

“Tick Fire Explodes Overnight”

“Fed by strong Santa Ana winds, the Tick fire jumped the 14 Freeway in Santa Clarita early Friday, prompting more evacuations as it quickly chewed through dry grass and brush.

Winds picked up significantly in the early morning hours Friday, causing the fire to leapfrog across the freeway and make an aggressive march southwest toward homes in the Sand Canyon community.”
