>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON THE KTLA, 5 NEWS AT 3 I'M GLEN WALKER AND I'M LOU PARKER WE WANT TO GET STRAIGHT TO BREAKING NEWS THIS AFTERNOON FROM ORANGE COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS ARE BATTLING A FAST MOVING BRUSH FIRE IN TRABUE GO CANYON, IT IS BURNING NEAR THE REMOTE-CONTROLLED AIRPLANE AIRPORT KTLA FIVE'S DELAY BUSES IN SKY 5. HE HAS THE DETAILS GAYLE. >> GLEN LU, THEIR COIN AT THE AIRPORT FIRE HERE 275 ACRES AND GROWING BURNING OUT OF SANTIAGO PEEK NOW I CAN TELL YOU THERE ARE VOLUNTARY EVACUATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ORDERED AT THIS POINT OR MENTION THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ROSE CANYON ROAD TRIP BUCO CREEK ROAD TRIP UCO CANYON ROAD. TREBEK A OAKS DRIVE THE JOPLIN LOOP AND COOKS CORNERS THAT'S THE AREAS THAT ARE UNDER VOLUNTARY EVACUATION. THERE ARE NO MANDATORY EVACUATIONS YET BUT I CAN TELL YOU ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY ALONG WITH A MULTI-AGENCY TASK FORCE HAS BEEN DISPATCHED TO FIGHT THIS FIRE THEY ALREADY HAVE TANKERS THAT HAVE BEEN MAKING SOME FIRE RETARDANT DROPS ON THIS THEY HAVE MULTIPLE AIRCRAFT HELICOPTERS OVERHEAD WATER DROPPING HELICOPTERS, THAT ARE MAKING WATER DROPS ON THE FIRE LINE BUT THIS IS BURNING COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL RIGHT NOW IN NORTH A NORTHEASTERLY DIRECTION UP HILL UP INTO THE CANYON HERE AS I COME OUT TO THE WIDER TO OUR LEFT BACKUP PULL OUT A LITTLE BIT WIDER, LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN SANTIAGO PEEK HERE JUST TO THE LEFT HERE SO THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL RIGHT NOW AGAIN NOT AS BRIGHT RIGHT ALONG SANTIAGO. TRUCK TRAIL. THAT'S A HIKING TRAIL THAT GOES UP TO THE HILLS HERE. BUT YOU CAN SEE ALL THE BRUSH THAT HAS NOT BURNED A LOT OF GREEN BRUSH THAT HAS NOT BURNED IN THIS AREA FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT AGAIN THE FIRE CONTINUED TO GROW SPOKE ITSELF WILL BE COMING TO A SHOT WE'RE ABOUT I ALMOST 9,000 FEET, BLUE LOOKS LIKE A MUSHROOM CLOUD GOING WELL OVER OUR HEADS HERE SO IT'S IT COULD BE SEEN FOR MILES AND MILES OF FACT YOU CAN SEE IT FROM LA AS WE'RE FLYING TOWARDS THE FIRE YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE PLUME HERE GOING UP SO AT THIS POINT SPOKE ON PRETTY MUCH FOR TICKLE STRAIGHT UP. LOT OF A CONCERN ABOUT THE FIRE SPREADING, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE AT THIS POINT, THE WINDS AREN'T TOO BAD IN THIS AREA. WE DID SEE SOME POWER LINES THAT HAD BURNED THROUGH SMALL POWER LINES. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE POWER OUTAGES FOR SOME PEOPLE MAYBE DOWN CANYON AT THIS POINT. BUT AGAIN FIRE COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DO WHAT THEY CAN ON THE GROUND AND IN THE AIR TO TRY TO STOP THIS SURGE OR SLOW DOWN THE PROGRESS, WE'LL LIKELY SEE SOME RETARDANT DROPS ON BE THE NORTH WHAT NORTHEASTERN THE 3RD. ALL RIGHT MARTHA EASTERLY FLANK OF THE FIRE. WE'LL LIKELY START TO SEE SOME FIRE RETARDANT DROPS IN THIS AREA, BUT THERE ARE REALLY HOPES UP THIS HIGH I OVER TO RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN HERE. AND SHOW YOU THE JOPLIN LOOP. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF HOMES, THEY'RE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE FIRE ITSELF SOME PRETTY BIG PROPERTIES IN THE PIPE AND LEFT YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FIRE RETARDANT DROP WAS LAID RIGHT THERE SO VERY CLOSE TO THOSE HOMES AT LEAST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FIRE. TO THE SOUTH SIDE. THERE IS A PORTER RANCH ROAD AND THE COMMUNITY DOWN BELOW HERE THAT LOOKS LIKE THE FIRE IS NOT THREATENING THAT AREA AT THIS POINT BUT THOSE ARE THE AREAS WHERE SOME HOMES OUT AS THEY COME BACK OUT TO A WIDE SHOT YOU CAN SEE THIS THING GROWING IT'S LIKELY BEYOND 275 ACRES RIGHT NOW. 0% CONTAINED SO THAT'S THE VERY LATEST. OVERHEAD UP IN SKY 5 AND I'LL SEND IT BACK IN THE STUDIO. >> ALRIGHT AGAIN GAIL I THINK WITH WITH THE SMOKE MOVING STRAIGHT UP THAT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD SIGN THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO MOVE IN A RAPID PACE. >> ABSOLUTELY YOU KNOW WE'RE RIGHT CLOSE TO SPOKE LIVE AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT JUST KIND OF GOES STRAIGHT UP AND IT ACTUALLY GETS UP ABOUT 11,012 1000 FEET, IT ACTUALLY PUSHES OUT TOWARDS THE TOWARDS THE WEST. SO WE'VE GOT WHEN THE EMPLOYEES AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, BUT DOWN BELOW. IT'S PRETTY MUCH GOING TO STRAIGHT UP AT THIS POINT. >> AND GAIL YOU MENTIONED THIS STARTED ABOUT 2 HOURS AGO 275 ACRES APPROXIMATELY HAVE BURNED HERE AND THAT NO HOMES IN IMMEDIATE DANGER BECAUSE IT'S SO BUT A LOT OF BRUSH UP THEIR DRY CONDITIONS GREAT NEWS THAT THE WINDS ARE NOT TOO STRONG RIGHT NOW. YOU ALSO MENTIONED THAT FIRE RETARDANT DROP ALONG THE RIDGE, THERE THAT IS HOPEFULLY GOING TO PROTECT THOSE HOMES JUST BELOW IT IS THAT THE ONLY DROP THAT YOU'VE SEEN IS THERE ARE THERE ANY OTHER AIRCRAFT THAT HAVE COME INTO THE AREA. >> NOW WE HEARD THE TANKERS WERE ON THEIR WAY THEY MAKE AT LEAST ONE DROP HERE ONE OR 2 DROPS IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S A RED LINE THAT YOU SEE THERE IT'S A SLOWING DOWN THE FIRE FROM PROGRESSING TOWARDS THAT NORTH AND TOWARDS THAT JOPLIN LIVE COMMUNITY. BUT AT THIS POINT WE DO SEE A COUPLE OF AIRCRAFT DOWN BELOW. I THINK THEY'RE SPOTTER AIRCRAFT FACT THAT'S ONE OF RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN. THAT'S GOING TO GO AROUND AND LOOK FOR THE NEXT AREA TO DROP THAT FIRE RETARDANT BUT AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN MAYBE JUST A COUPLE OF DROPS AND WILL LIKELY SEE TANKERS RETURNED HERE AFTER THEY RELOAD FIRE >> THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT PART OF THE STRATEGY HERE IS TO LET A LOT OF THIS BURN OFF IS NOT IN THE DIRECTION OF ANY JUST A TO GET RID OF THE BRUSH THAT OFF TO WORRY ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE. >> YET DEFINITELY AT UPPER OUT THAT HE'S HERE AT UPPER LEVELS HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT THEY WILL PROBABLY LET THAT BURN DAY THEY WILL LIKELY IT WILL LIKELY BURN INTO A PREVIOUS BURNED SCAR YOU CAN SEE THIS AREA HERE TOWARD SANTIAGO PEEK THAT BURNED A FEW YEARS BACK. SO THAT'S GOOD THAT'S GOING HELP THE FIREFIGHTERS TO SLOW THAT PROGRESS DOWN. TO THE NORTH SIDE HERE THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN REALLY TAKE OFF AND GOING TO THESE FOOTHILLS AS THE SIERRA PAN TO THE JUST TO THE EAST OF THAT COMMUNITY THAT JOPLIN COMMUNITY THAT'S WHERE IT REALLY TAKE OFF ITS SPREAD IF THE FIRE ACTUALLY STARTS TURNING THAT >> ALL STICK WITH GAYLE, WE HAVE SOMEONE ON THE PHONE KEVIN COMBS A TO THE AREA OF TRABUE CO CAN YOU COME IN CAN YOU HEAR US. >> I SEARCH AND WHAT'S THE SITUATION FOR YOU ARE YOU AT HOME OR YOUR WORK. WE'RE AT HOME WORKING MY WIFE AND I. WE'RE FAIRLY CLOSE MAYBE A QUARTER MILE AWAY FROM THE WILDERNESS STREETS LINE UP AGAINST THE FIRE. WE HAVE. >> SHADOW ROCK AND PORTER RANCH WHERE WE HAVE BEEN EVACUATED AND THE SMOKE IS RUSTIC AND IT'S VERY AND A VERY HEAVY AND YOU'VE GOT MORE THAN 2 PLANES. ONE LOOKS LIKE A FIERY TOWN ALONG RED PLAN AND SOME OTHER ONES AND THERE'S ABOUT 3 FIRE. I GUESS YOU WOULD CALL A MALLET COPTERS THAT ARE DIFFERENT IN THE LAKE BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO PUT IT OUT. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SMOKE DID LOOKS PRETTY OMINOUS. THE WIND IS GOING UP THAT HIGH BUT ACTUALLY A GOOD SIGN BECAUSE THE WIND'S NOT BLOWING THAT MUCH. IS ANY OF THAT COMING INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR IS IT MOSTLY MOVING AWAY FROM YOU. >> THAT WAS COMING IN MORE WE HAD HEAVY WIND BLOWING TOWARDS HOUSE. BUT IT SORT OF DIED DOWN, BUT IT'S MOSTLY GOING STRAIGHT UP AND IT'S A BIG >> AND KEVIN JUST YOU KNOW YOU GUYS LIVE THERE. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU MAY WORK FROM HOME WE HAD THESE HOT CONDITIONS DRY CONDITIONS. WE ALWAYS HEAR FIREFIGHTERS SAY PREPARE YOUR HOME HAVE YOU GUYS DONE ANY. PREPARATION FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. >> MY WIFE IS I'M GRABBING VALUABLES PHOTOS. PASSPORT THINGS LIKE THAT AND I WAS JUST WATER IN THE 80'S ON THE HOUSE WITH HOUSE THAT WASN'T WORKING SO WELL, BUT IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF WATER PRESSURE I JUST THINK THEY NEED TO THAT IT WOULDN'T YEAH. >> BECAUSE OF WHERE YOU LIVE, BUT I MEAN IS THIS SOMETHING IS CAUSING ON YOUR MIND YOU KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY THAT HAVE A BIG FIRE NEARBY. >> I THINK THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND IT IS ON OUR MIND BUT IS NOTHING NEW. HAS BEEN HAPPENING MAYBE ONE CLOSE FIRE TO SO AS WE BETTER FOR 31 YEARS. AND WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THE HIGH TEMPERATURES. ALL AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR WHERE IT CAN HIT A 100 OR HIGHER WE KNOW ABOUT IT BUT WE KNOW THAT HAPPENS BUT WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN SCARED BECAUSE WHY WE LITERALLY LIKE LIVING HERE. WILLING TO PUT UP WITH A DANGEROUS. >> YEAH THAT'S WHAT I'M KIND OF WHAT I WAS ASKING LIKE DO YOU GUYS DO PREPARE LIKE BRUSH CLEARANCE AROUND YOUR HOUSE AND JUST KNOWING THAT IF YOU'VE BEEN THERE FOR 30 YEARS YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD IT MANY TIMES RIGHT. >> ABSOLUTELY AND WE HAVE AN ASSOCIATION AND YOU'VE GOT TO SOMETIMES GO BACK AND FORTH OF THE ASSOCIATION TO GET THE HIGHER TREES CUT, ESPECIALLY FOR WHEN YOU WHEN THE CONDITIONS SO WE DO THAT AS WELL. >> YOU KNOW ONE OF THE BIG OF LATE HOME INSURANCE AND THE COST. HERE IN CALIFORNIA NOW LOT OF INSURANCE COMPANIES ACTUALLY PULLING OUT OF CALIFORNIA. HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS GO UP BECAUSE OF WHERE YOU LIVE IN NOT HAVING TO POSSIBLY DEAL WITH A SITUATION LIKE THIS. IT'S BEEN >> MY WIFE HANDLES MOST OF THAT BUT WE LOST OUR INSURANCE WE'RE GOING TO LAST SPOKE HE'S NEVER TO LOSE EYES. WE'RE USING CALIFORNIA FIRE PLAN WITH A WRAPAROUND THING ABOUT IT IS THE INSURANCE IS OUTRAGEOUS. IT'S VERY BUT I THINK ANSWER THAT QUESTION. >> AND KEVIN ALSO WEAVER STARTED TALKING TO YOU YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT YOU HAVE SOME FRIENDS WHO HAVE EVACUATED. WHAT AREA ARE THEY AND THEN HAVE YOU TALKED TO THEM SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE AND WHY THEY CHOSE TO EVACUATED BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST VOLUNTARY. >> OK I DIDN'T KNOW JUST ON TERROR. WE JUST GOT A SAYING THAT THEY HAD EVACUATE AND NOW THAT I REALLY WE JUST GOT WATER THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, I'M NOT UP TO DATE ON IF IT WAS OFFICIAL AND WASN'T BUT THEY'VE THEY'VE ALL EVACUATED. >> SO WHAT WOULD COMPEL YOU TO ACTUALLY EVACUATE YOURSELF ALONG WITH YOUR IN YOU KNOW ARE YOU CONCERNED BY GIVING YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT. >> I'M NOT CONCERNED REALLY YOU KNOW AGAIN SO MANY TIMES BEFORE IF MY WIFE'S WISHES TO DO SO SHE MAKES BETTER DECISIONS THAN I WILL DO IT. >> ALL RIGHT WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO KEVIN HE'S A RESIDENT THERE TO BE AGO HIGHLANDS AND AS YOU CAN SEE THAT CUL-DE-SAC RIGHT THERE THERE ARE SOME FIRE TRUCKS. SO THE FIRE DOES GET CLOSE TO THOSE HOMES WHICH DOESN'T LOOK IT'S GOING TO THEY ARE READY TO MOVE INTO ACTION AS YOU CAN SEE I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY KEVIN WANTS TO LIVE THERE. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AREA. I MEAN THE THE MOUNTAINS BEHIND HIM, IT'S LIKE A SPECTACULAR VIEW. BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A DANGER. >> KEVIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS AGAIN LET'S CHECK IN WITH GIL LLEVA SEASON SKY 5 ABOVE ALL OF THIS WAS THERE PRETTY QUICKLY STARTED OUT AT 2.75 THAT ACREAGE BURNING STARTED AROUND ONE O-CLOCK CORRECT GO. >> THAT IS CORRECT ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY GOT THE CALL JUST AFTER 1 O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON OF THE VEGETATION FIRE BREAKING OUT AND QUICKLY SPREAD HERE TOO.
