San Diego Fires

For those of you, who like me, may be wondering about friends or family--Have they evacuated? Where to? Is the fire near them?--I have attached a few links below that may be of some help.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find a link to help physically locate anyone, but you should be able to determine if evacuation was necessary and you should be able to keep up on some of the breaking news.

Two local radio stations that have been doing an excellent job of covering the fires all over Southern California are FM 1070 FM 1070 and AM 980.

I have friends who were evacuated from Fallbrook. The below information was helpful to me. All of Fallbrook was evacuated. The hospital and urgent care facility were evacuated about an hour before the town. I don't yet know where the patients were taken.

The below is from another blogspot blog (http://sosdfireblog.blogspot.com/) where other San Diego area fire updates can also be found.

Fire on the east side of Fallbrook
Posted @ 6:09 PM
Fire raged on the east end of Fallbrook near Interstate 15 as an eight-mile
stretch of bumper to bumper cars fled west out of the community on South
Mission Road and state Route 76.

Authorities called a mandatory evacuation of Fallbrook this afternoon.
Approximately 45,000 Fallbrook residents were evacuated, according to
officials with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Smoke billowing west to the coast from the Fallbrook area could be seen
throughout much of North County. The center of the fire appeared to be near
I-15.

Two lanes of traffic on northbound Mission Road, which led to I-15 north,
were also moving at a slow crawl out of town.

An evacuation center had been set up at El Toro High School in Orange
County. The school is located at 25255 Toledo Way in Lake Forest, Calif.
