update on these fires. Let's find out from Fox eleven
what's going on with these fires here Fox eleven.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Alright, I think they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The This is This is a an update moments ago
from cal fire.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Forty hours So that's the report for the line fire
hoses today the line fire.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
The next step we will have an update from the
San Bernardino County Fire Contectional District Fire Chief Dan Momsey.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And five percent containment.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, and Fox is bailing because their microphone was nine
hundred feet from the guy talking.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So the latest update is twenty four thousand. Oh my god,
that's the line fire.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
In the meantime, we want to continue our coverage of
that and check in.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
With Laura Diaz, who's got more from.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Near Laura Diaz. There she is. You're on, Laura, Yes, Alex.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You know that wildfire has been so intense that they
were actually forced to shut down schools because of it,
and people have been warned about the quality of the air.
It's very dangerous to breathe it in right now, quite
toxic and as we talked to fire officials this afternoon,
they said they were a long way from long wave.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
And meanwhile, we're going to bring into the conversation now
our new chief media.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
All right, so here are the updates on the fire.
We got four major fires. Actually, let's see three, the
airport fire, the Bridge fire, and the Line fire. The
Sunset fire, there's been no update on that. It's been
at fifty acres, so I think they've got a pretty
good handle on that fire. Might be wrong, but it
looks like the three major fires of course, the Line
(01:54):
fire in San Bernardino, that's the one headed towards Arrowhead,
Carrolhead and Big Bear Lake and the city of Arrowhead
and the city of a Big Bear. That's a twenty
four thousand acres, twenty four thousand. The Bridge fire that's
closer to us in here in Burbank, that's the one
(02:15):
up in Glendora, the Zuza area twelve fifty eight acres.
And then the airport fire. Let me update this airport
fire and see if we have any update on acreage. Okay,
eight hundred and sixty that's the one that's burning in
Tribuco Canyon. So there's the update on all the fires.
Hopefully at night when it gets a little cooler, not much,
(02:40):
it gets a little cooler, they can start to put
some you know, some heavy water on these fires and
knock a lot of these down. But man, are they stressed.
They have all the you know, all the crews that
are out there. I imagine all hands on deck to
try to get these three fires under control. You got
the bridge fire, the airport fire, and the line fire.
The biggest one is the line fire that is twenty
(03:03):
four thousand acres and climbing. All right, we'll have updates
all all night long or all day long, and I'm
sure Mo Kelly will have updates for you as well.
In other news, James Earl Jones has passed away.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I didn't know he's ninety three. I thought he was
like in his sixties. Always seemed like a young guy.
But ninety three years old. What a career and what
a life with this guy. This is unbelievable.

His breakthrough Tony winning performance came as boxing champ Jack
Johnson in The Great White Hope, which was later turned
into a movie.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
Because every time you pushed that pinched up face in
front of me, I see we go.
Speaker 2 (04:25):

Speaker 2 (04:29):
In The Great White Hope?
Speaker 1 (04:30):

Great White Hope, and then he had to change it.
He had a lot of blowback on that.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
In The Great White Hope, which was later turned into
a movie.
Speaker 10 (04:41):
Because every time you pushed that pinched up face in

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I wait, that was on Sesame Street.
Speaker 1 (04:55):

Speaker 8 (05:02):
But it was a two and a half hour voice
shover session from George Lucas that changed his life.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So he has a guy born in Mississippi, raised in
Michigan who stutters, and that's the voice, and that's me
I got. I lucked out.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
The role propelled him, or at least his voice, to
worldwide fame as Darth Vader in Star Wars. For the
next forty years, he excelled on stage, winning a second
Tony Award James, and on the big screen a Navy
admiral in The Hunt for Red October.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh what a great movie. Hunt for Red October great?
And I just never hear the lion king.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You are more than what you have to become.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
The voice of a network is CNN. I forgot about
that when CNN started. That's the voice that really made him.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It is CNN.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Aw Man, I remember that like it was yesterday, because
I grew up and so Krozier, where we didn't have
twenty four hour news stations and twenty four our you
know stations at all, and three million options for you
to have to find a frigging football game. The Croshers
still pissed that he couldn't see his Cowboys play Yes
today because he doesn't have Fox. You know, you had
(06:19):
more state, You had better access to stations in nineteen
seventy eight than you do now.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, it's so difficult to figure out. Oh wait, who's
right now?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I know I'm the same way because I had my
DVR setup to record all the NFL games and only
records half because summer on Amazon, some are on you know, Hulu,
some are on YouTube, others are on you know, the ESPN.
And I couldn't I spend all day looking for him.
The only ones I know I can catch now are
(06:48):
on Channel two, four and eleven. Those the only games
that you know that I can I can catch up to.
But man, spending your whole day looking for a game
is horrible. I'm with you, Crozch.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
I'm with you, voice of all baseball fans in Field
of dreams.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh yes, field of dream people will comray people will
most definitely come.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
He received an Honary Academy Award, had a Broadway theater
named for him, became a Kennedy Center ottery, continuing to
work in new projects.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, that guy was great.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
James Earl Jones passed away at ninety three. Are keep
an eye on all three of these fires. You got
the airport fire and Tribuco Canyon, the bridge fire in Glendora,
Azusa area, and then the airport fire in Tribuco Canyon,
and we will have updates on all three busy day
here on KFI.
Speaker 11 (07:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
All right, three fires burning and we got them all,
got acreage for you. We've got what's going on with
these fires, and we're keeping on on all of them.
The let's update here real quick. There was just an
update that came in on the airport fire one minute ago.
Nineteen one hundred acres. That's the Tribuco Canyon East Orange
(08:08):
County fire. And it looks like two three planes, four
planes and two three helicopters flying over that fire. All right,
that's the airport fire they're calling that. Then the second
one is the biggest one is the Line fire, the
Line fire, and that's up to twenty four thousand acres.
(08:32):
Well now they just reduced it to twenty three seven fourteen,
so now it's five percent contained, which is great news.
It was a three percent, so it's nearly doubled in containment.
And that fire is massive and it's headed towards Arrowhead
and Big Bear if it continues, so hopefully they can
(08:55):
knock this sucker down, But right now it's it hasn't
gone north of Highway three thirty. That's the line that
they're looking to hold. It at Highway three thirty up
into a running springs and evacuations on all of the
north all the north areas of if you know where
(09:18):
Smiley Park is, anything north of Smiley Park one, two, three, four, five,
six areas there all mandatory evacuations. There's a heliport up
at the top of the hill that they're off of
Highway eighteen that they're filling up and trying to douse
this fire. But it's still moving, it's still going, and
(09:40):
it's not good if you live up in that area.
It looks like it's not going to get to Lake Arrowhead,
Lake if this fire would have to go north and
a little bit west to get to Lake Arrowhead. And
if it continues to burn and we get this onshore
breeze that's coming with these cooler temperatures over the next
couple of days, this fire will most likely burn almost
(10:01):
due east. And so due east of that fire is
Mill Creek Road is out in that area, and then
you have Seven Oaks. If you live in Seven Oaks,
that's also mandatory evacuation. Above seven Oaks though, is Big
Bear Lake. And if this fire continues its path north
(10:22):
and northeast, it's going to go right into Big Bear Lake.
So it's not not closed yet, but people up there
are nervous as hell, you know. I think there are
still a lot of trees up there that got wiped
out by that bark beetle that haven't been taken down yet,
and those grow those go up like a candlestick. I'm
(10:43):
like a like a literally like a like a Roman candle.
So that fire, the north east line of that fire
is huge. It goes all the way from Mill Creek
all the way to the three thirty and so that
there's got to be fifteen or twenty miles of the
front line of that fire, maybe fifteen maybe closer to
(11:04):
fifteen and twenty three thousand, seven hundred and fourteen acres
is the last update. And then we have the Bridge fire,
which is closer to I guess Glenndorra and Azusa. There's
two helicopters working that fire and they're going to try
(11:25):
to get that to prevent that fire from connecting to
a smaller fire that's northeast of that of that fire.
And so it's gonna be very busy night for a
lot of these firefighters trying to get trying to knock
this this crap down. So we'll have updates all night
long on these fires. But just when you thought the
(11:47):
fires man, I gotta worry about that. We gotta worry
about the heat. Guess what another thing pops up? A
swarm of earthquakes in the Inland Empire. It's unbelilled Inland Empire.
Out there in Fontana, that area earthquake.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
The first quake struck just after ten o'clock near Archibald
and the sixty Freeway registered as a magnitude three point
five quake, and it turned out to be a four
shock because about a half hour later a three point
nine magnitude quake hit that has been the main quake
thus far could be surpassed. Of course, It was then
followed by a two point eight. Folks in Ontario were
(12:25):
a bit shaken up.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Everyone's just screaming crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
That second one hit, and it was just like an
even like just like it was a bigger one, obviously
the more noticeable.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And everyone just kind of closed first set. All of
a sudden everything shoot.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I felt like the truck was coming through the through
the story right here, especially with all the merchandise it was.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
They felt a lot stronger.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Doctor Lucy Jones sharing some insight.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So these people who live in Ontario in an Empire Fontana,
they can clearly see and smell the line fire from
where they live, and their houses are shaking because of earthquakes.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
They must think the world's coming to an end.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Doctor Lucy Jones sharing some insight on Twitter today, saying
the quakes happen on the Fontana Seismas City lineation, which
is a northeast striking line known for producing small quakes.
And we always learned so much after every quake from
doctor Jones.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's right, Doctor Lucy Jones, all right, we haven't really
had much time to talk about the NFL, but that
officially started last Thursday. But yesterday was the big day
and you had Tom Brady working for Fox.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I thought he was great.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
A lot of insight that you don't hear and guys
doing the announcing, and I thought Tom Brady for his
first game was terrific. He's a very very smart guy
and probably knows football better than anybody, and for sure
better than anybody who's ever been in that booth. And
he can tell you he knows a lot of the
(13:55):
players as well. He's only been out of the game,
you know, a year or so or year and a half,
and he can tell you what's coming up, what happened,
you know what the quarterback's going through. And if you're
going to watch a game, even though you know you
really don't care who, you know the two teams that
are playing. This guy has tremendous insight into the game.
(14:17):
He's on Fox, he's their a announcer, their a crew,
and I don't know what game they're doing next week,
but turn on Fox and listen to Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He's terrific.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
He really is great, all right, don't forget we have
all three of these fires were following. We'll give you
a quick update when we come back. The Airport fire
that's the big one in Tribuco Canyon in Orange County.
Then we have the Bridge fire, the smaller one near
Glendora and Azuza. And then the big, big ass fire,
which I don't think they're calling it, that is the
(14:48):
line fire.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
They should.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's a great name for it, the big ass fire
that's coming to Big Bear. But that's that's the direction
it's taking and people up there are nervous, nervous that
it's coming it and it could fly into Big Bear City.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That would be a disaster.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Airport fire in Tribuco Canyon right near Rancho Santa Margarita.
Find out what's going on with this crazy fire.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
It's horrible, so much good evening. I'm Sheriff Calvin Micah
has the night off. The dangerous heat and fast spreading
fires across southern California continue to be the big story.
Thanks get right to meteorologists Viamenez tracking Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
While we wait for Vera to do the weather there's
another update from Chris Christie over there on Channel seventh.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
This is the burnscard. This is where the fire started
along Tribuco Creek Road just after one o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Oh, I don't think that's Chris Christy. I don't know
who that is, but somebody's flying over the fire. This
is the Tribuco fire. They're calling at the airport fire.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
This is the burnscard. This is where the fire started
along Tribuco Creek Road just after one o'clock this afternoon.
Orange County Fire Authority responded with multi agency task force
to attack this fire. You can see how the burnscar
has just gone up the canyon here from that location
and has burned all the way up near the top
near Maine to buy truck trails. I come out to
a wider shot here. You'll see the heavy smoke up
(16:20):
there near the top.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Now right now, and by the way, almost everybody who
lives in Orange County can see this fire.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's massive.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
The plume of smoke goes up twenty to twenty five
thousand feet. These helicopters that are shooting this for the news,
they're at nine thousand feet and they're not even halfway
up that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Smoke.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
It looks like a big, huge mushroom cloud exploded in
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Air crews are focusing their attention on saving Saddle Peak here,
I'm sorry, Santiago Peak here. As I zoom in, you
can see the distance from the fire to that facility.
That's a communication tower network up there at the top.
We just saw a barrage of air tankers coming in
dropping fire retardants on that. There was about three or
four drops that they hit, one after the other, putting
(17:08):
a line of that fire retardant down it looks like
at this point and starting to help stop that fire
the progression of the fire towards that facility right now
down below. Though the air tankers i should say the
water dropping helicopters are hitting all the hotspots down here
along the fire retardant drops zones here. But again the
fire continues to burn out of control, moving quickly up
(17:29):
the canyon here and all the way to the top.
And again they're concerned about Santiago Peak and the brush
clearance around that facility is not great, so they're going
to likely hit it with some more tankers here before
the sunset.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yes, that fire continues to roar. So all three fires,
we keep it on, all three of them, and don't forget. Tonight,
the Dodgers take on the Chicago Cubs at Dodgers Stadium,
First Pick, seven pm. Listen to every play on AM
five seventy LA Sports, and stream all the games at
HD on iHeartRadio app. Keywords AM five to seventy LA Sports.
(18:04):
The best casino in the Southland is Marongo Casino Resort
and Spa. It's good times, all right. The presidential debate
is already tomorrow. It's gonna be happening live right here
on kfive. We'll start coverage shortly after five o'clock. Will
be joined by Mark Thompson tomorrow. Also Moe Kelly's gonna
(18:25):
pop in. Both those guys infinitely more into politics than
I am, so maybe can pick their brains on what
they expect to hear and see on the big debate.
But the presidential debate debate, I think, the and so
far the only one scheduled, is going to be happening
right here on kfive tomorrow, and the actual debate starts
at six p m.
Speaker 13 (18:45):
The countdown is on. The stakes are high. Only one
day to go until Vice President Kamala Harris and former
President Donald Trump go head to head on the debate stage.
The candidates preparing in different ways. Vice President Harris's team
has been holding mock debates with full TV lighting. This
will be her first presidential debate. Trump has been in seven.
The former president has not been using the same strategy
(19:08):
as Harris to prepare. No mock debates or studio lights.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, just sitting around with on Trump forst one with
a bucket a KFC knocking it out.
Speaker 13 (19:18):
But he's reportedly holding informal policy sessions with a small
team of advisor know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They even have for Kamala Harris. They have a guy
who looks exactly like Donald Trump. He's got the wig on,
the big tie, the big suit, and and he's doing
I think ninety minute debates twice a day for the
last five days with Kamala Harris thing don.
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Both will need to persuade millions of voters they're the
best to be president. Harris will need to appeal to
middle and working class Americans, while Trump needs to focus
on the economy and immigration, all while avoiding personal attacks
on Harris. It comes months after the last debate with
President Joe Biden, and right now it is a tight
race with no clear winner. Trump has forty eight percent
(20:05):
of likely voters. Harris has forty seven percent, which is
well within the margin of error. So tomorrow's debate could
sway who takes the lead.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, it's going to be well watched. I don't know
if it's going to get fifty million. That's what the
first Biden Trump debate got with viewership. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I don't know. Five.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know, people are back into school and doing their
own lives, and you know, busy. I know that the
people in Tribuko Canyon, Big Bear, Arrowhead, Glendora, and Azusa
may be busy, you know, protecting their homes, their horses,
their loved ones, their livelihood, maybe their small business. So
(20:49):
they may not be watching as closely as other people
down here in the flatlands. But that's gonna be tomorrow.
That debate starts tomorrow. The actual debate starts at exactly
six o'clock. We'll do a little bit of lead up
shortly after five pm, and then the debate's supposed to
last ninety minutes, so it'll start at six and then
Moe Kelly will take over at seven point thirty with
(21:13):
his analysis of what we saw or what we heard,
because you'll be hearing it on KFI, so listen to
it on KFI.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It should be wild.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Don't know how it's going to go, don't know who's
going to win, don't know what's going to be brought
up or what's going to be.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Said, but it should be interesting. Should be interesting. All right.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Speaking of interesting, there was a fossil that was found
right under a sam Pedro High school and it could
be pretty significantly.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
This a time capsule of a very different kind. It
was discovered at San Pedro High School and there are
millions of fossils buried underneath the campus. Fossils, the bone beds,
shell layers, the megalo don shark teeth, and also bones
from way wait wait what shell layers, the megal don
shark teeth. Oh no, no, the megalo don shark teeth.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Is that a Is that a mafia guy? The megalo
don shark megalo don said, got off you here?
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Megalodon, the megalo don shark teeth, and also bones from
bleen whales. They have been unearthed on a property for
more than twenty five hundred students are already learning history,
marine biology, and other important courses. ELLE Unified Superintendent Alberto
Carvalho says the discoveries will be a big boom to
the school and the region.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
The fact that millions of fossils have been unearthed on
this site.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's wild man right there under the high school, and
I'm could take high school down to sift around.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Has led to, quite frankly, a new era of concentrated
studies that will bring notoriety to this community and to
this high school.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
And scientists say these fossils offer the most precise map
yet of southern California's marine life from nine million years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Wowow, pretty cool out nine million years ago? Megelo, don
hegel don you know, Krosze, here's an interesting stat I
never thought about this before, but it does make sense.
Everybody that was born before eighteen forty, right, billions of people,
everyone born before eighteen forty. Not one single living person
(23:26):
born before eighteen forty had any idea that dinosaurs existed.
Nobody before eighteen forty ever knew a dinosaur existed. They
didn't have they didn't have you know, the bones, the
technology they have an un They didn't unearth any of
the of the crap. They had no idea that dinosaurs.
(23:49):
Dinosaurs ruled the earth for hundreds of millions of years.
Isn't that crazy? That's hard to wrap my head around.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, me too, Me too.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
But I read it online, Croch, So it's got to
be true, you know, because the way everything you read
online it's true.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Star.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It does kind of make sense. You know, people are
really busy just trying to survive in early life, literally survived,
that's right. There weren't a lot of you know, Hollywood
bowld concerts. You know, guys were just trying to put
enough food on the table and not get killed in
doing so.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
But yeah, that's if that's true.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And I think it is that nobody born before eighteen
forty ever knew that dinosaurs ruled the earth.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Interesting to think about it. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
All right, Gotta take a break here and then we'll
come back. Also see what's going on with the mol
Kelly show. We're caring and all the knowledge of all
these fires. We'll have an update before we get out
of here on acreage and containment on all three of
the major fires burning here in southern California.
Speaker 11 (24:50):
You're listening to tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Airport fire. Let's get updates on these fires.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
The airport fires, the Tribuco Canyon fire, one thousand, nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Acres have burned.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That fire has gotten a lot bigger since this afternoon
started one twenty. By two point thirty it was a
two hundred and seventy five acres. Now it's nearly two
thousand acres. That's called the airport fire in Tribuco Canyon
and that's out Orange County, South Orange County Rancho, I'm sorry,
north east Orange County Rancho Santa Margarita area. That's a
(25:32):
big one. Another fire is the Bridge fire and fifty
five acres. That's the Glendora Zuza Laverne north of there
along the two ten freeway, so two ten between the
six oh five and the fifteen freeway north of the
two ten, So it's east of Dwarda, east of Azusa,
(25:55):
a little bitast of Glendora, directly north of Laverne, north
of clairem where Crozier is, northwest of upland Rancho Cucamonga northwest.
And there's another fire burning up there. They're trying to
keep those two fires apart and fighting them, and they're
going to need a lot of luck. The big one,
the big fire that a lot of people are very
(26:18):
nervous about up in the mountains is the Line fire,
and that started way down in Highland, right off the
two ten freeway there.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Let me see where this actually started. Yeah, it's up near.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Can't figure out, Okay, It basically started in Highland, a
little bit northeast of Highland.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That's the closest big city, and.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's burning towards It's not burning towards Lake Arrowhea anymore.
They're trying to keep it south of the three thirty.
They're doing a great job of trying to use that
Highway three thirty as a as a natural break there.
But all the areas up in that area north of
Smiley Park are all mandatory evacuations, including Running Springs. If
(27:11):
you're in the Running Springs area, you better get running.
That's going to be a long night for people up there.
And if that fire burns in the direction it's burning
right now, it could hit Big Bear. We hope it
doesn't and don't want alarm anybody, but you got to
warn you that it is not good it is going
(27:33):
in that direction, and there are nearly twenty four thousand
acres have already burned.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I think that is low.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think by on the next update, I think it's
going to be closer to twenty five maybe twenty seven
thousand acres. That is a lot, but twenty three seven
and fourteen acres and a lot of evacuation orders. The
warnings are or other areas, but the actual evacuation orders,
(28:03):
and an order is an immediate threat to life and
law enforcement will ask you to leave immediately, and the
area is lawfully closed to public access, so you can
get out of there, but you can't get in there.
If you're own a home and you're not home, you're
coming home from work and you live in that area,
they're not going to let you through. And they just
(28:26):
have too much equipment, they're moving around, and they don't
have the manpower to come and get you if your
house catches on fire. So that's Highway three thirty eight,
including the green Spot Road there, green Spot Road north,
and then all the underdeveloped land east of Highway three
thirty I think all the way up the Summer Trail
(28:47):
places last I heard, and north of Highland Avenue. That's
also an evacuation, mandatory evacuation Running Springs east of Highway
three thirty south of Highway eighteen for.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
People up in that area.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You know what I'm talking about, another mandatory evacuation, and
then the communities of Running Springs.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And Arrow Bear Lake get out. You got to get out.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
The other one is Orchard Road clover Hill from Highland
Avenue north to the foothills, and also north of Highland
Avenue and east of Palm Avenue to a Highway three thirty.
And then you've got Forest Falls up there, Mountain Home Village,
and then you have seven Oaks and all the campgrounds
and the cabins in that area. So that's a huge
(29:33):
major fire. Evacuations to the north and evacuations to the east,
and they're trying to keep this fire from moving into
the Big Bear area. The one problem they're going to
have is they're going to have winds that are coming
off the ocean, and those winds almost ninety nine percent
(29:54):
of the time, are blowing fires east. And if this
fire continues to go in the northeast direction it's going in,
it's gonna spell really bad news for Running Springs and
the Big Bear area. They've got a lot of room
right now between this fire and the Big Bear area.
But you never know, you know, these fires can can explode,
(30:18):
and there's a lot to burn in that area, So
I know it's gonna be a sleepless night. Keep listening
to KFI for updates all night long. All right, Well,
will look, that's the fire report tonight tonight on television.
Kind of a local kid who has not had much
success finally found a job that he's gonna get paid for.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, you might heard it, might have heard.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Ryan Seacrest starts his new job today as Wheel of
Fortune host.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
How about that hosting the Wheel of Fortune. He's a
fellow iHeart employee. He's gonna be hosting Wheel of Fortune after.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Eight thousand episodes, must a move? Yeah, in thousands of
soul puzzles under former host Pat Sajack.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, this is it, Ryan, What do you think? Impressive? Pat?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
It's time for Ryan Seacrest. Spin is the new host
of Wheel of Fortune. As he told CBS Sunday Morning,
he understands how much the show means to its audience.
Speaker 14 (31:23):
This is such an incredible special franchise. It's more than
a TV show. It is something that means something to people.
And when I found out that this was an opportunity
for me, there's no thought to this. It was like, absolutely,
let's figure it out and let's get started.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Though he has big shoes to fill, this is not
something new for Seacrest.
Speaker 15 (31:43):
Pat Sajack is not the first legend that Ryan Seacrest
has succeeded. He first took over for Casey Kasem as
a host of America's Top forty. Then he took over
for Dick Clark with New Year's Rock and Eve.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
So he really knows how to do this.
Speaker 15 (31:54):
That was a big selling point in fact, and why
he was the number one choice.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
And his transition will be made easier with Fanna White
or remain as co host on the show.
Speaker 9 (32:03):
I've known Ryan for probably twenty years, but in the
past couple of months we've done some traveling together for
the show and we got to know each other a
little better too, So I think our chemistry is good.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
As Seacrest in White find their chemistry, they'll look to
build on the show's devoted following.
Speaker 15 (32:20):
We All Have Fortune is really an incredible success story.
This is a show that has been going on for
four decades teaching people how to learn English when they
come to this country, or that everyone just sits down
with their families and watches.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
At the end of the day. There you go.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Ryan Seacrest hosting Wheel of Fortune, dig Dong with that guy.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
We covered a lot today.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
We had the fires, all three of the major fires
that were burning. The Tribuco fire is still burning out
of control with I believe it's still zero percent contained.
Let me see, let me take one last look at
it here, the Airport fire. The containment on this fire
is zero percent. All right, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Zero percent.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
There's zero percent containment on a lot of these fires
burning in California. The Bridge fire zero percent, Airport fire
zero percent, the Line fire five percent. Now that's a
good number. It was at three now it's at fire
at five, nearly doubled, and that's a good, solid number.
And you should be thankful if you live up in
(33:26):
Running Springs or Big Bear, that they've got somewhat of
a handle on this fire. Even at five percent is
much better than zero. So twenty three thousand acres on
the Bridge fire out off the two ten Freeway, just
north of the two ten Freeway Glendora, Azusa Claremont area
(33:46):
north of there, and then the Airport fire that's the
Tribuco Canyon fire started one twenty one, all the way
up to nineteen hundred acres one nine hundred acres, zero
percent containment. The big one is the Line fire in
San Bernardino. It started last Thursday night on September fifth.
(34:06):
It is roaring at twenty three thousand, seven hundred and
fourteen acres. A quick update, Yeah, twenty three seven hundred
and fourteen that's the last update and that's five percent contained.
That's the one that a ton of people are worried about.
There are a lot of people who live up in
(34:28):
these mountains and they love their homes. A lot of
been up there, you know, for generation after generation, and
this is the kind of crap that they're afraid of.
This fire is very close to Running Springs, that whole area.
Mandatory evacuation in that entire area, and this could look
really grim tomorrow. We all have to pray that this
(34:49):
is not going to happen. That they can put enough
fast check, enough water down to prevent these homes from burning.
But that Running Springs is a great area. A lot
of great people live up in that area, so I
keep them in your prayers tonight. They are going to
need it. And if this fire does get through Smiley
Park and keeps going east, it's actually it's south of
(35:12):
the eighteen Highway eighteen up there, and it's north of
fifty eight, so it's burning a long highway three point
thirty and the three point thirty turns into eighteen right
up in Running Springs area. That's where it comes to
an end and then turns into Running Springs which turns
into Highway eighteen. All right, we're live, I'm sure mel
(35:32):
Kelly updates all night long on these fires. And don't
forget the big debate tomorrow here on KFI will be
starting Talking Abound on five thirty. Debate starts at six pm.
It's Conway on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
(35:56):
iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right, update, update,
update on these fires. Let's find out from Fox eleven
what's going on with these fires here Fox eleven.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Alright, I think they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The This is This is a an update moments ago
from cal fire.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Forty hours So that's the report for the line fire
hoses today the line fire.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
The next step we will have an update from the
San Bernardino County Fire Contectional District Fire Chief Dan Momsey.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And five percent containment.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, and Fox is bailing because their microphone was nine
hundred feet from the guy talking.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So the latest update is twenty four thousand. Oh my god,
that's the line fire.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
In the meantime, we want to continue our coverage of
that and check in.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
With Laura Diaz, who's got more from.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Near Laura Diaz. There she is. You're on, Laura, Yes, Alex.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You know that wildfire has been so intense that they
were actually forced to shut down schools because of it,
and people have been warned about the quality of the air.
It's very dangerous to breathe it in right now, quite
toxic and as we talked to fire officials this afternoon,
they said they were a long way from long wave.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
And meanwhile, we're going to bring into the conversation now
our new chief media.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
All right, so here are the updates on the fire.
We got four major fires. Actually, let's see three, the
airport fire, the Bridge fire, and the Line fire. The
Sunset fire, there's been no update on that. It's been
at fifty acres, so I think they've got a pretty
good handle on that fire. Might be wrong, but it
looks like the three major fires of course, the Line
(01:54):
fire in San Bernardino, that's the one headed towards Arrowhead,
Carrolhead and Big Bear Lake and the city of Arrowhead
and the city of a Big Bear. That's a twenty
four thousand acres, twenty four thousand. The Bridge fire that's
closer to us in here in Burbank, that's the one
(02:15):
up in Glendora, the Zuza area twelve fifty eight acres.
And then the airport fire. Let me update this airport
fire and see if we have any update on acreage. Okay,
eight hundred and sixty that's the one that's burning in
Tribuco Canyon. So there's the update on all the fires.
Hopefully at night when it gets a little cooler, not much,
(02:40):
it gets a little cooler, they can start to put
some you know, some heavy water on these fires and
knock a lot of these down. But man, are they stressed.
They have all the you know, all the crews that
are out there. I imagine all hands on deck to
try to get these three fires under control. You got
the bridge fire, the airport fire, and the line fire.
The biggest one is the line fire that is twenty
(03:03):
four thousand acres and climbing. All right, we'll have updates
all all night long or all day long, and I'm
sure Mo Kelly will have updates for you as well.
In other news, James Earl Jones has passed away.

I grew up and so Krozier, where we didn't have
twenty four hour news stations and twenty four our you

named for him, became a Kennedy Center ottery, continuing to
work in new projects.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, that guy was great.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
James Earl Jones passed away at ninety three. Are keep
an eye on all three of these fires. You got
the airport fire and Tribuco Canyon, the bridge fire in Glendora,
Azusa area, and then the airport fire in Tribuco Canyon,
and we will have updates on all three busy day
here on KFI.
Speaker 11 (07:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
All right, three fires burning and we got them all,
got acreage for you. We've got what's going on with
these fires, and we're keeping on on all of them.
The let's update here real quick. There was just an
update that came in on the airport fire one minute ago.
Nineteen one hundred acres. That's the Tribuco Canyon East Orange
(08:08):
County fire. And it looks like two three planes, four
planes and two three helicopters flying over that fire. All right,
that's the airport fire they're calling that. Then the second
one is the biggest one is the Line fire, the
Line fire, and that's up to twenty four thousand acres.
(08:32):
Well now they just reduced it to twenty three seven fourteen,
so now it's five percent contained, which is great news.
It was a three percent, so it's nearly doubled in containment.
And that fire is massive and it's headed towards Arrowhead
and Big Bear if it continues, so hopefully they can
(08:55):
knock this sucker down, But right now it's it hasn't
gone north of Highway three thirty. That's the line that
they're looking to hold. It at Highway three thirty up
into a running springs and evacuations on all of the
north all the north areas of if you know where
(09:18):
Smiley Park is, anything north of Smiley Park one, two, three, four, five,
six areas there all mandatory evacuations. There's a heliport up
at the top of the hill that they're off of
Highway eighteen that they're filling up and trying to douse
this fire. But it's still moving, it's still going, and
(09:40):
it's not good if you live up in that area.
It looks like it's not going to get to Lake Arrowhead,
Lake if this fire would have to go north and
a little bit west to get to Lake Arrowhead. And
if it continues to burn and we get this onshore
breeze that's coming with these cooler temperatures over the next
couple of days, this fire will most likely burn almost
(10:01):
due east. And so due east of that fire is
Mill Creek Road is out in that area, and then
you have Seven Oaks. If you live in Seven Oaks,
that's also mandatory evacuation. Above seven Oaks though, is Big
Bear Lake. And if this fire continues its path north
(10:22):
and northeast, it's going to go right into Big Bear Lake.
So it's not not closed yet, but people up there
are nervous as hell, you know. I think there are
still a lot of trees up there that got wiped
out by that bark beetle that haven't been taken down yet,
and those grow those go up like a candlestick. I'm
(10:43):
like a like a literally like a like a Roman candle.
So that fire, the north east line of that fire
is huge. It goes all the way from Mill Creek
all the way to the three thirty and so that
there's got to be fifteen or twenty miles of the
front line of that fire, maybe fifteen maybe closer to
(11:04):
fifteen and twenty three thousand, seven hundred and fourteen acres
is the last update. And then we have the Bridge fire,
which is closer to I guess Glenndorra and Azusa. There's
two helicopters working that fire and they're going to try
(11:25):
to get that to prevent that fire from connecting to
a smaller fire that's northeast of that of that fire.
And so it's gonna be very busy night for a
lot of these firefighters trying to get trying to knock
this this crap down. So we'll have updates all night
long on these fires. But just when you thought the
(11:47):
fires man, I gotta worry about that. We gotta worry
about the heat. Guess what another thing pops up? A
swarm of earthquakes in the Inland Empire. It's unbelilled Inland Empire.
Out there in Fontana, that area earthquake.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
The first quake struck just after ten o'clock near Archibald
and the sixty Freeway registered as a magnitude three point
five quake, and it turned out to be a four
shock because about a half hour later a three point
nine magnitude quake hit that has been the main quake
thus far could be surpassed. Of course, It was then
followed by a two point eight. Folks in Ontario were
(12:25):
a bit shaken up.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Everyone's just screaming crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
That second one hit, and it was just like an
even like just like it was a bigger one, obviously
the more noticeable.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And everyone just kind of closed first set. All of
a sudden everything shoot.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I felt like the truck was coming through the through
the story right here, especially with all the merchandise it was.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
They felt a lot stronger.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Doctor Lucy Jones sharing some insight.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So these people who live in Ontario in an Empire Fontana,
they can clearly see and smell the line fire from
where they live, and their houses are shaking because of earthquakes.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
They must think the world's coming to an end.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Doctor Lucy Jones sharing some insight on Twitter today, saying
the quakes happen on the Fontana Seismas City lineation, which
is a northeast striking line known for producing small quakes.
And we always learned so much after every quake from
doctor Jones.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's right, Doctor Lucy Jones, all right, we haven't really
had much time to talk about the NFL, but that
officially started last Thursday. But yesterday was the big day
and you had Tom Brady working for Fox.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I thought he was great.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
A lot of insight that you don't hear and guys
doing the announcing, and I thought Tom Brady for his
first game was terrific. He's a very very smart guy
and probably knows football better than anybody, and for sure
better than anybody who's ever been in that booth. And
he can tell you he knows a lot of the
(13:55):
players as well. He's only been out of the game,
you know, a year or so or year and a half,
and he can tell you what's coming up, what happened,
you know what the quarterback's going through. And if you're
going to watch a game, even though you know you
really don't care who, you know the two teams that
are playing. This guy has tremendous insight into the game.
(14:17):
He's on Fox, he's their a announcer, their a crew,
and I don't know what game they're doing next week,
but turn on Fox and listen to Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He's terrific.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
He really is great, all right, don't forget we have
all three of these fires were following. We'll give you
a quick update when we come back. The Airport fire
that's the big one in Tribuco Canyon in Orange County.
Then we have the Bridge fire, the smaller one near
Glendora and Azuza. And then the big, big ass fire,
which I don't think they're calling it, that is the
(14:48):
line fire.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
They should.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's a great name for it, the big ass fire
that's coming to Big Bear. But that's that's the direction
it's taking and people up there are nervous, nervous that
it's coming it and it could fly into Big Bear City.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That would be a disaster.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Airport fire in Tribuco Canyon right near Rancho Santa Margarita.
Find out what's going on with this crazy fire.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
It's horrible, so much good evening. I'm Sheriff Calvin Micah
has the night off. The dangerous heat and fast spreading
fires across southern California continue to be the big story.
Thanks get right to meteorologists Viamenez tracking Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
While we wait for Vera to do the weather there's
another update from Chris Christie over there on Channel seventh.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
This is the burnscard. This is where the fire started
along Tribuco Creek Road just after one o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Oh, I don't think that's Chris Christy. I don't know
who that is, but somebody's flying over the fire. This
is the Tribuco fire. They're calling at the airport fire.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
This is the burnscard. This is where the fire started
along Tribuco Creek Road just after one o'clock this afternoon.
Orange County Fire Authority responded with multi agency task force
to attack this fire. You can see how the burnscar
has just gone up the canyon here from that location
and has burned all the way up near the top
near Maine to buy truck trails. I come out to
a wider shot here. You'll see the heavy smoke up
(16:20):
there near the top.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Now right now, and by the way, almost everybody who
lives in Orange County can see this fire.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's massive.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
The plume of smoke goes up twenty to twenty five
thousand feet. These helicopters that are shooting this for the news,
they're at nine thousand feet and they're not even halfway
up that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Smoke.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
It looks like a big, huge mushroom cloud exploded in
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Air crews are focusing their attention on saving Saddle Peak here,
I'm sorry, Santiago Peak here. As I zoom in, you
can see the distance from the fire to that facility.
That's a communication tower network up there at the top.
We just saw a barrage of air tankers coming in
dropping fire retardants on that. There was about three or
four drops that they hit, one after the other, putting
(17:08):
a line of that fire retardant down it looks like
at this point and starting to help stop that fire
the progression of the fire towards that facility right now
down below. Though the air tankers i should say the
water dropping helicopters are hitting all the hotspots down here
along the fire retardant drops zones here. But again the
fire continues to burn out of control, moving quickly up
(17:29):
the canyon here and all the way to the top.
And again they're concerned about Santiago Peak and the brush
clearance around that facility is not great, so they're going
to likely hit it with some more tankers here before
the sunset.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yes, that fire continues to roar. So all three fires,
we keep it on, all three of them, and don't forget. Tonight,
the Dodgers take on the Chicago Cubs at Dodgers Stadium,
First Pick, seven pm. Listen to every play on AM
five seventy LA Sports, and stream all the games at
HD on iHeartRadio app. Keywords AM five to seventy LA Sports.
(18:04):
The best casino in the Southland is Marongo Casino Resort
and Spa. It's good times, all right. The presidential debate
is already tomorrow. It's gonna be happening live right here
on kfive. We'll start coverage shortly after five o'clock. Will
be joined by Mark Thompson tomorrow. Also Moe Kelly's gonna
(18:25):
pop in. Both those guys infinitely more into politics than
I am, so maybe can pick their brains on what
they expect to hear and see on the big debate.
But the presidential debate debate, I think, the and so
far the only one scheduled, is going to be happening
right here on kfive tomorrow, and the actual debate starts
at six p m.
Speaker 13 (18:45):
The countdown is on. The stakes are high. Only one
day to go until Vice President Kamala Harris and former
President Donald Trump go head to head on the debate stage.
The candidates preparing in different ways. Vice President Harris's team
has been holding mock debates with full TV lighting. This
will be her first presidential debate. Trump has been in seven.
The former president has not been using the same strategy
(19:08):
as Harris to prepare. No mock debates or studio lights.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, just sitting around with on Trump forst one with
a bucket a KFC knocking it out.
Speaker 13 (19:18):
But he's reportedly holding informal policy sessions with a small
team of advisor know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They even have for Kamala Harris. They have a guy
who looks exactly like Donald Trump. He's got the wig on,
the big tie, the big suit, and and he's doing
I think ninety minute debates twice a day for the
last five days with Kamala Harris thing don.
Speaker 13 (19:43):
Both will need to persuade millions of voters they're the
best to be president. Harris will need to appeal to
middle and working class Americans, while Trump needs to focus
on the economy and immigration, all while avoiding personal attacks
on Harris. It comes months after the last debate with
President Joe Biden, and right now it is a tight
race with no clear winner. Trump has forty eight percent
(20:05):
of likely voters. Harris has forty seven percent, which is
well within the margin of error. So tomorrow's debate could
sway who takes the lead.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, it's going to be well watched. I don't know
if it's going to get fifty million. That's what the
first Biden Trump debate got with viewership. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I don't know. Five.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know, people are back into school and doing their
own lives, and you know, busy. I know that the
people in Tribuko Canyon, Big Bear, Arrowhead, Glendora, and Azusa
may be busy, you know, protecting their homes, their horses,
their loved ones, their livelihood, maybe their small business. So
(20:49):
they may not be watching as closely as other people
down here in the flatlands. But that's gonna be tomorrow.
That debate starts tomorrow. The actual debate starts at exactly
six o'clock. We'll do a little bit of lead up
shortly after five pm, and then the debate's supposed to
last ninety minutes, so it'll start at six and then
Moe Kelly will take over at seven point thirty with
(21:13):
his analysis of what we saw or what we heard,
because you'll be hearing it on KFI, so listen to
it on KFI.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It should be wild.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Don't know how it's going to go, don't know who's
going to win, don't know what's going to be brought
up or what's going to be.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Said, but it should be interesting. Should be interesting. All right.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Speaking of interesting, there was a fossil that was found
right under a sam Pedro High school and it could
be pretty significantly.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
This a time capsule of a very different kind. It
was discovered at San Pedro High School and there are
millions of fossils buried underneath the campus. Fossils, the bone beds,
shell layers, the megalo don shark teeth, and also bones
from way wait wait what shell layers, the megal don
shark teeth. Oh no, no, the megalo don shark teeth.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Is that a Is that a mafia guy? The megalo
don shark megalo don said, got off you here?
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Megalodon, the megalo don shark teeth, and also bones from
bleen whales. They have been unearthed on a property for
more than twenty five hundred students are already learning history,
marine biology, and other important courses. ELLE Unified Superintendent Alberto
Carvalho says the discoveries will be a big boom to
the school and the region.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
The fact that millions of fossils have been unearthed on
this site.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's wild man right there under the high school, and
I'm could take high school down to sift around.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Has led to, quite frankly, a new era of concentrated
studies that will bring notoriety to this community and to
this high school.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
And scientists say these fossils offer the most precise map
yet of southern California's marine life from nine million years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Wowow, pretty cool out nine million years ago? Megelo, don
hegel don you know, Krosze, here's an interesting stat I
never thought about this before, but it does make sense.
Everybody that was born before eighteen forty, right, billions of people,
everyone born before eighteen forty. Not one single living person
(23:26):
born before eighteen forty had any idea that dinosaurs existed.
Nobody before eighteen forty ever knew a dinosaur existed. They
didn't have they didn't have you know, the bones, the
technology they have an un They didn't unearth any of
the of the crap. They had no idea that dinosaurs.
(23:49):
Dinosaurs ruled the earth for hundreds of millions of years.
Isn't that crazy? That's hard to wrap my head around.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, me too, Me too.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
But I read it online, Croch, So it's got to
be true, you know, because the way everything you read
online it's true.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Star.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It does kind of make sense. You know, people are
really busy just trying to survive in early life, literally survived,
that's right. There weren't a lot of you know, Hollywood
bowld concerts. You know, guys were just trying to put
enough food on the table and not get killed in
doing so.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
But yeah, that's if that's true.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And I think it is that nobody born before eighteen
forty ever knew that dinosaurs ruled the earth.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Interesting to think about it. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
All right, Gotta take a break here and then we'll
come back. Also see what's going on with the mol
Kelly show. We're caring and all the knowledge of all
these fires. We'll have an update before we get out
of here on acreage and containment on all three of
the major fires burning here in southern California.
Speaker 11 (24:50):
You're listening to tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Airport fire. Let's get updates on these fires.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
The airport fires, the Tribuco Canyon fire, one thousand, nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Acres have burned.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That fire has gotten a lot bigger since this afternoon
started one twenty. By two point thirty it was a
two hundred and seventy five acres. Now it's nearly two
thousand acres. That's called the airport fire in Tribuco Canyon
and that's out Orange County, South Orange County Rancho, I'm sorry,
north east Orange County Rancho Santa Margarita area. That's a
(25:32):
big one. Another fire is the Bridge fire and fifty
five acres. That's the Glendora Zuza Laverne north of there
along the two ten freeway, so two ten between the
six oh five and the fifteen freeway north of the
two ten, So it's east of Dwarda, east of Azusa,
(25:55):
a little bitast of Glendora, directly north of Laverne, north
of clairem where Crozier is, northwest of upland Rancho Cucamonga northwest.
And there's another fire burning up there. They're trying to
keep those two fires apart and fighting them, and they're
going to need a lot of luck. The big one,
the big fire that a lot of people are very
(26:18):
nervous about up in the mountains is the Line fire,
and that started way down in Highland, right off the
two ten freeway there.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Let me see where this actually started. Yeah, it's up near.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Can't figure out, Okay, It basically started in Highland, a
little bit northeast of Highland.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That's the closest big city, and.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's burning towards It's not burning towards Lake Arrowhea anymore.
They're trying to keep it south of the three thirty.
They're doing a great job of trying to use that
Highway three thirty as a as a natural break there.
But all the areas up in that area north of
Smiley Park are all mandatory evacuations, including Running Springs. If
(27:11):
you're in the Running Springs area, you better get running.
That's going to be a long night for people up there.
And if that fire burns in the direction it's burning
right now, it could hit Big Bear. We hope it
doesn't and don't want alarm anybody, but you got to
warn you that it is not good it is going
(27:33):
in that direction, and there are nearly twenty four thousand
acres have already burned.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I think that is low.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think by on the next update, I think it's
going to be closer to twenty five maybe twenty seven
thousand acres. That is a lot, but twenty three seven
and fourteen acres and a lot of evacuation orders. The
warnings are or other areas, but the actual evacuation orders,
(28:03):
and an order is an immediate threat to life and
law enforcement will ask you to leave immediately, and the
area is lawfully closed to public access, so you can
get out of there, but you can't get in there.
If you're own a home and you're not home, you're
coming home from work and you live in that area,
they're not going to let you through. And they just
(28:26):
have too much equipment, they're moving around, and they don't
have the manpower to come and get you if your
house catches on fire. So that's Highway three thirty eight,
including the green Spot Road there, green Spot Road north,
and then all the underdeveloped land east of Highway three
thirty I think all the way up the Summer Trail
(28:47):
places last I heard, and north of Highland Avenue. That's
also an evacuation, mandatory evacuation Running Springs east of Highway
three thirty south of Highway eighteen for.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
People up in that area.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You know what I'm talking about, another mandatory evacuation, and
then the communities of Running Springs.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
And Arrow Bear Lake get out. You got to get out.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
The other one is Orchard Road clover Hill from Highland
Avenue north to the foothills, and also north of Highland
Avenue and east of Palm Avenue to a Highway three thirty.
And then you've got Forest Falls up there, Mountain Home Village,
and then you have seven Oaks and all the campgrounds
and the cabins in that area. So that's a huge
(29:33):
major fire. Evacuations to the north and evacuations to the east,
and they're trying to keep this fire from moving into
the Big Bear area. The one problem they're going to
have is they're going to have winds that are coming
off the ocean, and those winds almost ninety nine percent
(29:54):
of the time, are blowing fires east. And if this
fire continues to go in the northeast direction it's going in,
it's gonna spell really bad news for Running Springs and
the Big Bear area. They've got a lot of room
right now between this fire and the Big Bear area.
But you never know, you know, these fires can can explode,
(30:18):
and there's a lot to burn in that area, So
I know it's gonna be a sleepless night. Keep listening
to KFI for updates all night long. All right, Well,
will look, that's the fire report tonight tonight on television.
Kind of a local kid who has not had much
success finally found a job that he's gonna get paid for.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, you might heard it, might have heard.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Ryan Seacrest starts his new job today as Wheel of
Fortune host.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
How about that hosting the Wheel of Fortune. He's a
fellow iHeart employee. He's gonna be hosting Wheel of Fortune after.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Eight thousand episodes, must a move? Yeah, in thousands of
soul puzzles under former host Pat Sajack.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, this is it, Ryan, What do you think? Impressive? Pat?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
It's time for Ryan Seacrest. Spin is the new host
of Wheel of Fortune. As he told CBS Sunday Morning,
he understands how much the show means to its audience.
Speaker 14 (31:23):
This is such an incredible special franchise. It's more than
a TV show. It is something that means something to people.
And when I found out that this was an opportunity
for me, there's no thought to this. It was like, absolutely,
let's figure it out and let's get started.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Though he has big shoes to fill, this is not
something new for Seacrest.
Speaker 15 (31:43):
Pat Sajack is not the first legend that Ryan Seacrest
has succeeded. He first took over for Casey Kasem as
a host of America's Top forty. Then he took over
for Dick Clark with New Year's Rock and Eve.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
So he really knows how to do this.
Speaker 15 (31:54):
That was a big selling point in fact, and why
he was the number one choice.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
And his transition will be made easier with Fanna White
or remain as co host on the show.
Speaker 9 (32:03):
I've known Ryan for probably twenty years, but in the
past couple of months we've done some traveling together for
the show and we got to know each other a
little better too, So I think our chemistry is good.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
As Seacrest in White find their chemistry, they'll look to
build on the show's devoted following.
Speaker 15 (32:20):
We All Have Fortune is really an incredible success story.
This is a show that has been going on for
four decades teaching people how to learn English when they
come to this country, or that everyone just sits down
with their families and watches.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
At the end of the day. There you go.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Ryan Seacrest hosting Wheel of Fortune, dig Dong with that guy.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
We covered a lot today.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
We had the fires, all three of the major fires
that were burning. The Tribuco fire is still burning out
of control with I believe it's still zero percent contained.
Let me see, let me take one last look at
it here, the Airport fire. The containment on this fire
is zero percent. All right, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Zero percent.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
There's zero percent containment on a lot of these fires
burning in California. The Bridge fire zero percent, Airport fire
zero percent, the Line fire five percent. Now that's a
good number. It was at three now it's at fire
at five, nearly doubled, and that's a good, solid number.
And you should be thankful if you live up in
(33:26):
Running Springs or Big Bear, that they've got somewhat of
a handle on this fire. Even at five percent is
much better than zero. So twenty three thousand acres on
the Bridge fire out off the two ten Freeway, just
north of the two ten Freeway Glendora, Azusa Claremont area
(33:46):
north of there, and then the Airport fire that's the
Tribuco Canyon fire started one twenty one, all the way
up to nineteen hundred acres one nine hundred acres, zero
percent containment. The big one is the Line fire in
San Bernardino. It started last Thursday night on September fifth.
(34:06):
It is roaring at twenty three thousand, seven hundred and
fourteen acres. A quick update, Yeah, twenty three seven hundred
and fourteen that's the last update and that's five percent contained.
That's the one that a ton of people are worried about.
There are a lot of people who live up in
(34:28):
these mountains and they love their homes. A lot of
been up there, you know, for generation after generation, and
this is the kind of crap that they're afraid of.
This fire is very close to Running Springs, that whole area.
Mandatory evacuation in that entire area, and this could look
really grim tomorrow. We all have to pray that this
(34:49):
is not going to happen. That they can put enough
fast check, enough water down to prevent these homes from burning.
But that Running Springs is a great area. A lot
of great people live up in that area, so I
keep them in your prayers tonight. They are going to
need it. And if this fire does get through Smiley
Park and keeps going east, it's actually it's south of
(35:12):
the eighteen Highway eighteen up there, and it's north of
fifty eight, so it's burning a long highway three point
thirty and the three point thirty turns into eighteen right
up in Running Springs area. That's where it comes to
an end and then turns into Running Springs which turns
into Highway eighteen. All right, we're live, I'm sure mel
(35:32):
Kelly updates all night long on these fires. And don't
forget the big debate tomorrow here on KFI will be
starting Talking Abound on five thirty. Debate starts at six pm.
It's Conway on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
