[pct-l] new fires

[Marion Davison]

We drove from Apple Valley to Fullerton this morning to attend a meeting 
that got out at 2:00.  One fire had closed the 91 Freeway in Santa Ana 
Canyon, and another fire had closed the 57 freeway from Brea to the 60. 
  So the only way out of Orange County was to go straight north from 
Fullerton, over the Puente Hills.  It took us two hours to travel from 
Fullerton north to the 210 Freeway.  The piles of black smoke were 
horrible to see, and the wind was ferocious.  I was glad to see the San 
Bernardino mountains not on fire, for once, however.   As we traveled 
north on Harbor Blvd. near Imperial Highway I could see the flames on 
the hills, eating up chaparral and heading for homes. A horrible sight.
