In addition to the Marek fire, burning at Sylmar, which apparently has just claimed a life, there’s now a fire burning in Porter Ranch, at Via Donatello and Sesnon Boulevard, I believe. The best live coverage I’ve found is at KNBC.
This is the view from Nordhoff and Corbin.
Shit not again. Some friends just moved up in that area less than a block from the “green belt” IE undeveloped natural land. Fingers crossed for Joann, Jeff and fam.
KABC reports that the 118 is closed due to the fire and smoke.
