Yorba Linda Fire In Orange County Burns 18 Buildings

I hope everyone that reads this and has family out there try and remain safe and that everyone is ok. Fires have always been a problem out west because of how dry it is and the wind. Plus a few arsons never help the case if they were the ones starting it. I myself have been lucky never to have had to deal with a wildfire. I set my kitchen on fire once, but that was because the paper towels caught on fire from the pilot light on the stove.

According to reports from San Diego Union Tribune and KNX1070 the wildfire in Yorba Linda has already burned 18 buildings in Orange Conty. Yorba Linda Fire is now becoming the focus of the California wildfires that has caused much damage and resulted in State of Emergency in California.

Reporting from Yorba Linda San Diego Union Tribune writes that "The fire moved west into the neighboring Orange County community of Yorba Linda, where six or seven buildings burned. No injuries were reported, but the “gusty and erratic” winds put many more homes in danger, Romero said.

"Arnel Tumang, 53, said by cellphone that he was using a hose to fight flames that burned brush in his Yorba Linda backyard."
