It’s day four of the fires that are burning throughout San Diego county.
SignOnSanDiego’s firemap has been updated to include photos, video, and structure damage info. It also includes details on each of the fires that are or have been burning throughout the county.
President Bush has signed the necessary papers to issue a major disaster declaration. A NY Times article talks a bit about his quick response in comparison to previous disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina. He’s scheduled to be in town tomorrow to survey the situation.
Residents in many more neighborhoods are being notified that their evacuation orders or advisories have been lifted and that they can return home. The Rancho Bernardo community, however, is still off-limits. A spokesperson for the SDPD just talked on local station KUSI about folks parking on Interstate 15, getting out of their cars, and trying to get into the neighborhood by foot. It’s really hard to get by without any concrete information, but it’s just not safe to go back yet.
