Blue Cut Fire
The blue cut fire that has burned down 30,000 plus acres in the past 3 days is devastating many families. There have been 96 homes that have burned down and three others with severe fire damage. This Thursday it had slowed down dramatically but the Cajon Pass is still full of smoke. The Cajon Pass has no trees but it does have thick vegetation and shrubs. The fire has burned more than 49 square miles and was just 4 percent contained since exploding Tuesday morning. Officer Sean Collins said the dry brush is just like firewood. The fact that there is hot winds breezing through the pass has not helped one bit. "Flames had turned a lot full of cars — including some vintage models — into a junkyard of hollowed-out shells. Countless trees were scorched or gone" said Fox News.
