Don't count on it. Hopefully this thing gets contained quickly so we don't see that 3500 acres going up to 35000 acres.

ANAHEIM HILLS, Calif. -- U.S. Forest Service investigators said flames from a controlled burn led to the Sierra wildfire, which has been raging since the pre-dawn hours of Monday in the Cleveland National Forest in an area near the boundary between Orange and Riverside counties.
After scorching more than 7,179 acres, the fire was 18 percent contained Wednesday morning, and fire commanders said they expected total encirclement by early Saturday evening.
Investigators said they traced the source to a controlled burn that went out of control on Black Star Road. Officials said the burn was intended to clear 10 acres and protect the area from fires.
"We deeply regret that has occurred," said Chief Rich Hawkins of the U.S. Forest Service.
Hawkins said about 70,000 prescribed burns are set annually. He said flames can burn to the roots of dry brush, then return to the surface and start another fire.
The fire is burning away from population centers, and residents of about 2,600 evacuated homes in Anaheim and the city of Orange have been given clearance to return.
The American Red Cross offered assistance to evacuees at Villa Park High School, 18042 Taft Ave. Anyone needing Red Cross assistance may call (714) 431-5300.
Orange County Animal Care Services made arrangements to help people evacuating their homes find safe places for their pets.
Canyon Rim and Anaheim Hills elementary schools were closed Tuesday, along with Santiago Charter School, but all three schools were to be open on Wednesday. Two other schools were closed Tuesday: Hillsborough Private School (Anaheim Hills) and Oak Ridge Private School (City of Orange). NBC reported that all schools would be open Wednesday.
"We deeply regret that has occurred,"
Good idea, santa ana's in the forecast, Red Flag warnings in effect, But we know best.

I could be wrong here but doing a "Controled" burn while the Sant Anna's are in town is a good idea??

| Quote (H20Advantage @ Feb. 10 2006,9:00 pm) | We have horses in the stables at Irvine Regional Park. This ended up being the firefighters command post for this incident.
It was touch and go for awhile and we prepared to evacuate over 200 horses from the park but did not have to. There is also a zoo with some exotic animals there.
Looks like they should be breaking the command post down sometime this weekend. |
Good news...!!!   Glad the animals are safe...
