As I pound this out Sylmar in SoCal is at risk due to a major fire being pushed by the serious winds in the area. Due to power outages the cops ended up going door to door to wake people for emergency evacuations. The Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, with 278 teenage residents, had to be evacuated. In an extremely rare situation fixed wing fire fighting aircraft made water and retardant drops during the nigh. These were federal aircraft, CalFire regulations prohibit night drops by fixed wing aircraft.
A combination of very, very low humidity and very nasty winds is creating a huge fire risk over much of both northern and southern California.
