Brea Fire

I’m in California for this weekend to get my driver’s license (long story) and what do you know a fire breaks out in my hometown of Brea, California.

Smoke from my patio is Brea, California.

The fire is so close that I’m tasting smoke and watching ash fall on my patio. Helicopters are flying by and sirens are blaring.

30 minutes later.

Fires have also broken out in Corona and Yorba Linda. KNBC is reporting that 5 homes in Corona have been at least damaged due to the fire. It also looks like like the fire is being pushed by winds towards the east.

The smoke is getting thicker to the east and south.

    Does anyone know if the Corona fire reached Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar and especially the small plaza next to the Shell Gas Station, with a dance studio and the nursery center?
    thanks in advance!
