Thanks for the updates on the area in Ensenada and around. My heart goes out to the people in El Zorillo. They, for the most part, are in a difficult area as far as fighting the fire and, again, with such limited resources. We have seen the Army get involved in that area (Ensenada) in the past and were always surprised that fires just didn't seem to reach the magnitude they do in the SD area. Have not figured out why but will continue to watch and pray. Be careful.


Because the Mexicans chopped down all the trees and used them for firewood long ago.

Tijuana is having fires now, the areas of Valle Imperial, residencial del Bosque, the comunity of El Niņo, Valle Redondo and the limits with Tecate. Also areas near Corredor 2000, Valle Redondo and the mountains of Otay
PS All of these are to the East of the city.

Do you have a url? I'm not seeing how to do that on Google Maps (if that's what you're using).

Never mind -- I pulled it up on Google Earth. Thanks.

Hello, I'm new to posting on the site (been a long time reader).
Does anyone have any information about where these fires are in relation to highway 1 and are there are any closures of highway 1?
I am supposed to head south (to San Quintin) on Thursday morning and any info would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
Erik

Lou, go to http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us. The link is at the bottom of the page, where it says "View the latest MODIS fire detection data and incident information in Google Earth. Click here for access." You'll get a Google Earth file (current as of 4 pm PDT today) that you can save and open in Google Earth. You'll need to go back to the firemaps link for updates.
