L.A. FIRE IS GETTING REALLY NASTY

by Bob Walsh

The fire burning in the San Fernando valley, pushed by the Santa Ana winds and fueled by a lot of dry brush, has cut several of the main roads into the LA area, killed at least two people and destroyed a few dozen homes.

The fire was sparked when a garbage truck driver dumped his load, which had for some reason caught fire, to avoid incinerating his truck. He ended up incinerating a chunk of the valley instead (which might have happened anyway if the truck had caught fire).

About 100,000 people have been ordered out of about 20,000 homes in the Granada Hills and Porter Ranch areas in response to a second fire. This fire MAY HAVE been caused by power lines according to witnesses in the area the fire started.
