According the incident website, it's moving towards Wrightwood. Lytle Creek and Cleghorn are probably going to get burned, but I'm more concerned about the communities. Tom is not very far north of this and I'm wondering if there any other members in harm's way? I have Tom's number and I'm going to shoot him a message when I get out of work and can get cell service. Does anyone else have his number and can contact him sooner?

Great link, Rick.
Much better than the LA Times.... ::)
I don't have Tom's number and I think we have other SCCX members in that area as well. I'll shoot him a PM.

My concern with Tom is that he's frequently out of town, just want to make sure that has family is good.

I told him to give me a holler if things change. The way this thing is going, things will change.

Yessir, will do. PR mentioned she knows of other members in the area. Anyone have contact when these people?
On another note, it was posted on FB that they can use volunteers at the SB County Fairgrounds for building temp housing, moving trailers, helping with evac, etc.

Hey everyone, thanks for your concern. We do not have to evacuate right now. I did help some friends evacuate some livestock, but we are fine. This is a very fast moving fire. Luckily I came home from North Dakota early and we are prepared if we need to get moving. And I get all the most up to date info on my ham radio. :D
I think I'm the only SCCX member this close to the fire.

Hey Tom,
Thanks for the update and good news so far. Fingers crossed.

Glad you and yours are okay. I'll take your word that you are the only SCCX member within range.
Please keep us posted if your situation changes and you need help.

Will do, thank you all.
