Several fires broke out Tuesday in a densely populated area of Diamond Bar along the 60 freeway.
Super Scoopers have already attacked the blazes. it is uncertain how many homes are threatened. Fire seems to be rapidly moving through brush along hte 60 freeway. A smoke plume is visible from our office here in West Covina.
Here’s a Google Map of the area:

I hope everyone is OK, of course, but it begs the same question we hear every single time….Why should everyone have to pay to fight fires for people who live in high risk areas. Shouldn’t there be some type of high fire risk special tax assessment to cover all these morons who insist on living up against the wilderness?
