A firsthand account
This comes from blogger Bear Chick:
We're smack in the middle of Brea/Anaheim Hills/Yorba Linda, then being called the Freeway Complex fire. Last night Carbon Canyon was added and this morning Chino Hills and Diamond Bar came into the mix and now it's called the Triangle Complex fire. I don't think we've ever been this close to a fire this big. We've seen fire in the hills in Yorba Linda but the problem with this weekend's fire was the Santa Ana winds kicking up. The Brea fire is about 2 miles from us, which seems like a safe distance I suppose but the fire crossed a freeway in Yorba Linda! For those of you not familiar with freeways in Cali, the 91 probably has at least 8 lanes where the fire jumped it. So 2 miles away doesn't seem that far in view of Mother Nature's leaping ability!
