Description: Note: The alerts are updated when there is active scanner information and members of our alerts team are available to enter alerts. Sometimes we have no coverage to add updates to the alerts. Or, as with the fires, there is very little non-logistical scanner chatter since operations have become fairly scheduled and routine.

reports of 3 people cutting down trees in the Crab Flats area on 3N16, near homes, probably closer to Green Valley Lake Road 
Wed 10/24 Source: other  From: via email - THANK YOU       
Took a drive (at about 11:30 am) over 
to Twin Peaks to check on specific 
addresses for three friends.  I know 
you are not publishing street 
addresses, but perhaps you can 
generalize from this report.

From North Road we drove north on 
Grandview to the Grandview School and 
did not notice any damage.  We turned 
right onto Walnut Hills and followed it 
all the way until it turns into 
Spyglass and continued along Spyglass 
until it comes out onto Fairway.  Along 
that whole route we only saw two burned 
homes.  The home at 26150 Walnut Hills 
was badly damaged and the home next 
door to it (on the same side of the 
street but with a lower street number) 
was burned to the ground.

From Spyglass and Fairway we turned 
right (east?) onto Fairway.  The homes 
along this part of Fairway (and farther 
west, between Spyglass and Grandview 
elementary, which we traversed on our 
way home), looked fine, but the fire 
appeared to have burned the forest 
right up to the backyards of the homes 
along the north side of this stretch of 
Fairway.

From Fairway we turned north onto 
Brentwood, then north onto Sonoma, 
entering the Country Club View Estates.
The houses on the corner of Brentwood 
and Sonoma look ok, but forest on the 
left (west) side of Sonoma has burned.  
We continued north on Sonoma, crossing 
Sutter.  The houses on east side of 
Sonoma look ok, on both the north and 
south sides of this part of Sutter (at 
its southern intersection with 
Sonoma).  We crossed Placer, and things 
still looked ok.  There continued to be 
charred trees on the west side of 
Sonoma but the houses (which are on the 
east side) seem ok.

We crossed the intersection with the 
northern end of Sutter.  One house on 
the left (west) looks gone, just north 
of the northern intersection of Sutter 
and Sonoma and across the street from 
715 Sonoma.  The houses on the right 
(east) side of Sonoma look ok, 
including 715, 725, and 735 Sonoma.  
The next house on the left also looks 
ok.  In fact, everything looks ok for a 
while.  755 Sonoma is ok as is the 
house across from it on the left.

We crossed Amador (on the left), 
staying on Sonoma, and things continued 
to look ok.  A couple of people 
appeared to be back at home already.  
The most heavily damaged area that we 
saw began just north of 875 Sonoma 
(which was still standing).  The homes 
at 899, 905, 915, 935, 945, and 955 
Sonoma all burned to the ground.  These 
are all on the east side of the 
street.  The next house to the north 
appeared to be ok (I didn't get its 
number), but another structure to the 
north (perhaps just a parking deck or 
garage?) was burned.   Powerlines were 
down across the road, but the fire crew 
that was there said it was ok to drive 
across them.

We crossed Amador again, farther 
north.  It looked like several houses 
were gone on this part of Amador, to 
the east of Black Oaks Drive (Sonoma 
turned into Black Oaks).

We crossed Windward, staying on Black 
Oaks Drive.  Some charred trees here, 
but the houses seem ok

We crossed Black Oaks Court on the left 
(west) side of Black Oaks Drive and did 
not notice any damaged homes, although 
we did not drive into the court.  The 
four houses at the north end of Black 
Oaks drive (two on each side of the 
street, 1025, 1031, 1034 and one other) 
looked undamaged.

We passed quite a few fire men and law 
enforcement officers, but no one 
stopped us or asked what we were 
doing.  Grandview and Brentwood both 
had "road closed" signage at their 
north ends, but there didn't seem to be 
anyone enforcing this.

Crab Flats Residences, Trails End - I received a call from a resident of the Crab Flats area, 7:00am today 10/24/07. Message left on my answering machine, transcript as follows: "... Letting you know that your house and everything is saved. We're back in here, there's no way you can get a hold of me but I will try and get a hold of you later and talk to you about everything. Your fine now, the fire has rapped around us, but everything is burned on the ground and you should be OK." I don't know about other homes but since this is my neighbor, I would assume that there are other Trails End homes that are safe as well, at least as of this morning. Resident at 175 Trails End.

Traveling south from behind town, many structures were on fire all the way to the Korean retreat and near the Castle (although these structures were NOT on fire at the time). Homes between HWY 18 and Sunset, up and down the hill to City Creek rd were in tact at 3PM. Homes along Panorama Drive as of 3PM were fine, with lots of thick smoke from above HWY 18 and burning up the hill from below HWY 330. {Note: Personal THANK YOU from RS transcriber for the info on Panorama Drive.}

Call the the California School of Dog Grooming at 1-800-949-3746, and ask for Susan to see about help in San Bernardion Mountain area. In the face of advancing flames, and under urgent evacuation orders, people reach instinctively for their beloved pets, but in the rush to leave, often forget to take the food and other provisions necessary for their care. In order to help fill this need, Dennis Sprung, President of the American Kennel Club, has coordinated with Susan Sholar, President of the California Federation of Dog Clubs, to send an immediate donation of food, collars and leashes, and crates to help those dog owners affected by the devastating fires in southern California. CFODC members, and anyone else needing assistance in providing for their pets' security and well-being as a result of these fires, should call the California School of Dog Grooming at 1-800-949-3746, and ask for Susan. The school, located in San Diego, is the designated site for distribution of the donated supplies, as well as a growing list of volunteers with offers to foster care, or with available kennels, dog runs, RV parking spaces, spare bedrooms, sofa beds, and the like. The AKC and CFODC, in order to maximize their opportunity to help, ask that you cross post this message wherever possible. Thank you. Board of Directors California Federation of Dog Clubs

In a phone interview with John Miller, USFS PIO, there are mandatory evacuations of all the mountain communities west of Big Bear Dam with the exception of Cedarpines Park and Valley of Enchantment, they are voluntary. Fire is running west around the back side of Running Springs, hitting Nob Hill. He does not know if Pali Mountain still exists at this point. Rimwood Ranch is threatened; active structure protection in place. Structures are burning at the top of Live Oak and Poplar. 
Tue 10/23 Source: scanner       
the fire is getting close here to (name) home; it's up here at the top of the ridge and we have nothing to hit it with; What about Live Oak area? There were spots on the west side of Live Oak; not sure, I haven't heard any of that activity; Sounds like Fredalba/Smiley Park area got hit hard; same with areas of Nob Hill and Willow and Poplar; it was flanking us then we have fire coming back at us; What about around my house of Sunspree Oceanview area? There was some down on Old City Creek below you, but it actually looks pretty good; What about Hunsacker and Deep Creek areas, north of the town of Running Springs? They did a good job knocking the heat out. We ran out of foam; not sure we have anybody that can apply the gel. Looks like it lit up over there {behind? by?} Arrowbear, it's going to make a run towards the Nordic Tract.

My house is a couple lots behind this on West Dr. near Cove Circle. My neighborhood is okay at the moment. The neighborhood to the west of this behind the post office I believe was hit hard (Palo Alto, Whispering Pines, Secret, Encina, Deep Creek).

{via email from resident in CPP - Thank you} Just got back from Crestline shopping at Goodwins (9:30 AM). They are trying to stay open with only three people, but mandatory evacuation will probably shut them down. Police are now enforcing evacuation. Saw several police cars pulling walkers and bikers over and telling them to leave now. Fire hasn’t come down into Crestline yet. I drove around Edelweiss to view fire. Fire seems to be slowly coming down the slope below Grandview St. in Twin Peaks, maybe a Ľ of the way down. It does seem to have traveled further south from last night on Grandview. As of 9 PM it hadn’t reached the Twin Peaks Police Station when I drove up with my motorcycle to take a look, but it looks as if it may have jumped passed it this morning heading to Strawberry Peak. Still looks to be burning strong north/northwest of Grandview Elementary, hopefully the school is safe. But, it’s hard to tell because of the smoke… I’m hoping they can hold the line and prevent it from dropping into Crestline, but I didn’t see any firefighters in containment mode right now. Let’s all pray for some air support. Looks like the officials are triaging the fires and they are considering us a patient with a burst artery and moving on. Let’s hope that’s not the case. Lake arrowhead should all evac because it seems that 18 is the established route out right now due to the 330 being closed. They don’t want to be trapped in. VOE and Cedarpines Park still have the 18 and 138 so we should be okay unless it jumps down into Crestline or the wind shifts and starts blowing over us. I’ll keep you updated. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire mountain community. I love this community and hope we all stand together as one.

A little good news from ROTW Google Group: "Good News for Fairway and Grandview in Lake Arrowhead/Twin Peaks" - My son-in-law drove through up Hwy 189 through Grandview and then down Fairway with a Fire Captain around 9AM and verified that although there is very strong smell of smoke, there were no houses lost or of immediate threat. Most of the trees in the hillside north of Fairway are burned. There was no house burned on El Dorado as earlier reported. A fire truck is stationed on El Dorado near Fairway, and several fire trucks from other areas are at Grandview Elementary. They are doing a great job putting out any spot fires. They tried to reach Running Springs but were unable due to high winds blowing the fire south/south west to hwy 18.

ABC Ch 7 - per USFS incident commander - will try to get aircraft up over Lk Arrowhead this morning. Too windy to use aircraft over RS/Green Valey Lake fire. Have 1,000 people on the two fires - not enough but will do their best. The IC said this fire is a lot tougher to fight than the old fire due to wind pushing up slope and poor road access. 4 helicopters , 4 air tankers & DC10 on standby for air (Lk Arrowhead). concentrating on west side of Lk Arrowhead/Crestline fire today also.

Re: Interview with John Miller, USFS - Estimates the Slide incident to be approx. 4000 acres at this time. Priority at this time is structure protection in the Smiley Park and Running Springs area. Estimated containment is 5% at this time. Fire officials pulled resources from Green Valley Lake at 10 p.m. last night, and have been unable to access area since, due to road being blocked by fire. Miller added that a strike team from Malibu has just arrived and will be deployed to the Smiley Park area. The other area on which they are concentrating efforts is the area west of Lake Arrowhead, and the Twin Peaks area.

We are still hanging out in Crestline. We are at Lake Greg Dr and Nestal. There seem to be quite a few of us here according to your "standby" ROTW (thank you for that btw...). We have a view of the entire east side of the Lake Gregory Valley looking down on the baseball end of the lake. I don't see any movement on the part of the fire. In fact, it seems to have lessened and I don't think it's wishful thinking. Winds are actually a bit quieter than they were earlier, but still not near being calm. We are watching closely and will leave if we are in the way of firefighting efforts or if fire does come close. Until then, we are digging in. Luck and blessings to everyone both up and down.

Just want to give you an update from our fire fighter friend who's been in the Deer Lodge Park area all day and has a home there. No homes have burned in the Deer Lodge Park area. They are watching some hot spots behind the area, but it's blowing out west away from Deer Lodge. Power is on and some people were still staying in the area. The fire started by power line fire on Edgecliff (according to eyewitness accounts) and homes were in danger through out the day along Edgecliff. The fire has burned homes on Brentwood Dr. which connects with Edgecliff at the Deer Lodge Park sign. Also there was an incorrect report of two structures burned down on Klondike. As of 5 pm tonight, after the report was posted through the scanner, an eyewitness confirmed that no homes on Klondike, or Aleutian had been burned. The fire had stayed on the West side of the Golf Course and not crossed Grass Valley. The areas of Sandlewood looked gloomy with lots of fire hoses out on those streets. Also, fire crews held off the fire at Cypress protecting several homes. Another fire fighter who lives on Squirrel reported this and also reported the fire alarmingly close to his house. The Lake Arrowhead Resort is hosting the firefighters with Papaya Bay serving them food. The resort is closed to the public. Power is still on in Lake Arrowhead. TV stations are not working here, but the internet is still working. Winds have calmed down a bit since about 4 pm today. Several helicopters were making runs over the Lake filled with water heading towards Grass Valley. Lake Arrowhead Village is closed. this update is from an eyewitness & local pastor (staying on to assist as a pastor) who lives next to the Lake Arrowhead Resort.

I have a good view of the fire from my home in Cedar Glen. The fire is currently coming from the East and up the back side of the ridge above the care takers home at the Boy Scout Camp. It is possible that the upper part of the camp has sustained damage. The wind is blowing in such a way that it is moving West between Hwy 18 and the care takers home. Flames are now visible just behind the ridge. If the fire keeps moving like it has been, it will burn between Hwy 18 and Hook Creek. It is hard to tell at this point how far down the hill the fire will burn toward Hook Creek. It appears to be moving more West South West than North so I would expect the fire to burn well above any homes in Cedar Glen. Considering the fire's current direction of movement, the next areas of concern would appear to be be Heaps Peak and then Santa's Village as it moves toward Sky Forest and Cedar Ridge. I should be able to give a better idea tomorrow. So far, the fire is still a good distance from the homes and no homes have been damage in Cedar Glen.
