A brush fire in the San Bernardino National Forest between Anza and Pinyon Pines charred 1,200 acres, prompted the closure of Highway 74 and mandatory evacuations and was 0% contained Tuesday.
Firefighters on the ground and night-flying helicopters have been fighting the Rosa Fire throughout the night and morning, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The non-injury fire was reported at 12:25 p.m. Monday on the north side of the highway at Santa Rosa Truck Trail.
The agency said multiple engine and hand crews from the county, U.S. Forest Service, Palm Springs Fire Department and other agencies, numbering around 300 personnel, were sent to the location and encountered flames moving at a moderate rate to the north through heavy vegetation.
Six Cal Fire air tankers and three water-dropping helicopters made a series of runs on the fire that initially slowed its progress early Monday afternoon. However, as winds increased through the mountains, the brusher accelerated, according to reports from the scene.
California Highway Patrol officers shut down both sides of Highway 74 between the junction at Highway 371 in Anza to the west and the area around the Big Horn Golf Club, just south of Palm Desert, spanning almost 25 miles.
Evacuation orders were issued for the area south of Alpine Village, while warnings were announced for neighboring communities bordering Pinyon Pines, on either side of the highway.
A care and reception center was set up at the Anza Community Center, 56630 Highway 371. Evacuees were invited to drop their pets at either the Coachella Valley Animal Campus at 72-050 Pet Land Place in Thousand Palms, or the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus, 581 S. Grand Ave.
Firefighters established tentative containment lines on the back side, or “heel,” of the fire, as well as the western segment, but as winds increased to 15 to 20 mph in the mid-afternoon, they were unable to reach the head of the fire, which was burning in thick overgrowth. Only the aircraft were in front of the flames.
Winds were expected to die down after nightfall. Night-capable Cal Fire choppers were set to work the fire lines into Tuesday morning.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
I just wondered what they’re asking for now since I’ve already done all the recycling and consumed every fucking bit of the money that was burnt up in the fires across the state of California wonder what these firemen are asking for today with no education and Fire nor do they have an understanding of a GPS and every fire truck and every vehicle that’s in the state of California so you can find out the criminals that have lit the fires in the state of California right. Use some intelligence research on every GPS vehicle in the United States of America for where they were at at the moment the fires were lit.
Here’s my question if you electrocute a person everyday for 50 years how many times do you have to blow the transformer off the pole before somebody notices that your electrocuting people out there your prison cell. No shouldn’t there be a way that you can find out from Edison or PG&e how many times they replace the transformer on the pole after somebody was electrocuted and blew the transformer off of the pole. Now PG&e in Edison have never really did any severe maintenance to any of the lines across the United States of America so with the electrocution blowing out a transformer on the side of a pole would cause other wires down the line to blow off the conduit off the line so that the wire would be causing Sparks within the terminals down the line of the wiring system. So if you give it a strenuous force of blowing up a terminal or a transformer on a signal Pole you would cause more strenuous actions further down the lines and around the state so if you’re doing one failure by electrocuting people and you’re causing all the fires in the state to burn down all the rest of the shit to cover up your bullshit just don’t make no sense that you have to blame it on the electrical company because there’s nobody there to take the blame. And you always make out Rich because how you got The recyclables from the land after the house is burnt down and everybody’s murder was covered up all the jewelry and everything fell into the length and you can imagine there’s many of bags of diamonds and all them celebrities houses that burnt down. That’s more than welcome to fire department in the city gets right then you got the law enforcement I just don’t make no sense everybody’s making 10.424 trillion dollars a year but the average person walking down the street can’t make $20 an hour. at some point you’re going to have to go to the prison cell for the fraud the treason and the governmental Mutiny that you’ve got gone and caused the United States of America’s communities citizens
How they can get you a compensation for the Los Angeles Fire Department for burning down your fucking homes right they’re going to actually go out there and prove to the fucking world that they never had a fucking education to put the fucking fire out in the first fucking place but yet they allowed everything to burn across the state of California right and you’re going to actually prosecute every one of these fucking tired ass fucking firemen that came down here and did all this shit from Oregon that bought a fucking illegal fire truck from a fucking public auction right because hell nobody can follow the fucking laws in this country right but you’re going to do all this fucking shit for all them people that died out there in them fires they’re dead and everything of their fucking wealth is all in the ground waiting for the recycling company to come through and screw him even further because they seized everybody’s shit that got burnt out there but yet you’re going to figure out something they make $300 an hour and 75 million dollars a year just to be law enforcement in the fucking country and the president of the United States can’t make $250,000 a year man so you tell me where the fucking drug dealers aren’t ruining the fucking world at
