Mid-afternoon on Friday I heard about a small fire off the 14 Freeway.
Those happen quite often, so I was not too concerned. Our fire department gets onto them, in a big way.
As the afternoon progressed, it got out of hand and suddenly it became a big deal.
Around 4:30PM, I heard from my van pool buddies, saying that it was going to be a killer commute home that evening. So I suggested we try to leave early.
It took a bit, but we got out at 5PM and watched that fire burn toward the Angeles Forest. My photo was taken on the overpass at Sun Valley (basically the center of the Valley).
We did not have too much trouble, considering the traffic was halted on the 14 Freeway and the Metrolink trains had a bus bridge past the fire scene.
My home is all the way on the I-5 side of Santa Clarita, so the fire is nowhere near where I live, thank goodness.
Going to be one of those years...
