Station Fire: Maps, News Links, More

 
The best local coverage of the Station Fire and other blazes burning in Southern California is on KCAL.com.

The LA Times as usual does a fantastic job of covering the fires as well.

Of course Twitter Search is also abuzz with local insights and also where I found this time lapse video.

Time Lapse Test: Station Fire from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.


The fire has consumed 20,000 acres and has burned 3 homes near La Canada and dozens of cabins in the Angeles National Forest within the San Gabriel Mountain range.

4,000 have been evacuated so far as the fire works its way towards the town of Acton near Santa Clarita. With a 360 degree flame front in steep, inaccessible terrain that has not burned in over 50 years firefighters are severely challenged.

One firefighter has a heat related injury and three civilians were injured in the Big Tujunga Canyon area trying to defend their home.



Information gleaned from the ICS-209

Excellent journalistic work as well as fire fighting!
 
Mike - thanks for all the great data and images. It really helps folks like me who are far from SoCal, with relatives in the Station Fire evac areas. I have compiled some additional links for sources of info about the Station fire on my blog at http://gehr.info and I have added your blog to that list.
