Southern California Wildfires had threatened 5,000 homes by Saturday. But by Sunday, that number in early afternoon had risen to a staggering 12,000 threatened homes. Containment percentages had yet to improve from the single digits this weekend.
3500 acres are burned in Southern California alone, with 100 engines, 20 clearance trucks and 12 water helicopters responding. Yet residents refuse to leave, causing 3 person to suffer serious burns. The Governor early Sunday warned of the threat to disobey Fire official’s instructions to evacuate - “There were three people who did not listen and they got burned because they did not listen.”
By early afternoon Station Fire mandatory evacuations were for homes on Starlight Crest Drive, Greenridge Drive, Forest Green Drive, and Ridge Court, and those on the La Cañada Flintridge Golf Course.
An Evacuation Center is set up at La Cañada High School. The school is located at 4463 Oak Grove Drive.
