Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right, we are waiting for this press conference to
begin in Tribuco. Kenyon, let's go ahead and put that
up now. I do believe we have it.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
That's all I have for new updates. I'm gonna turn
over to our subject matter experts to give you more
information from their perspectives. First all, bring up Orange County
Fire Authority Fire Chief Brian Fantasy.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
All right, thank you, Captain Holiday.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Welcome everybody to reiterate what the Captain just shared. The
fire is currently over ten thousand acres and growing quite quickly.
We've got more than a thousand firefighters assigned and likely
equally as much on order. One of the challenges we're
having is competition with other large fires in southern California.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
The Line Fire, I believe.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Is an excess of twenty thousand acres at this time,
and they've had a lot of resources tied up now
for nearly a week. The Bridge Fire on the Angelus
National Forest in La County also blew up. You probably
saw the smoke column. We certainly could see it here
from Orange County, and it too is growing exponentially. So
(01:19):
all of these fires are drawing down on the limited
resources available to us. Not completely a surprise. We talked
about this certainly in the spring and when you all
met with us in our pre season meetings and media conferences.
I believe that, and I said it in La County
(01:39):
at one of our events, that people believe that just
because we got the rain that we did the last
couple of years, that we would not have the fires
we're experiencing now. And what I try to do is
remind people that we went through many years of drought,
and you know, our fuels, our chaparral here in southern
California is what we call drought resistant, well trout resistant
(02:00):
up to a point, and eventually that vegetation does die.
And we've got a significant dead fuel load in our
southern California mountains.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
And so well, it did get green.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
It was very pretty during the spring, and we thought, wow,
it's going to stay this way. Within that green that
live vegetation, we have considerable dead vegetation. Well, now that
we've had months of hot weather, we've just experienced what
four or five days of extremely hot weather, that live
vegetation is dead, and we are seeing the results of.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
That fuel load.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Not to mention, as you look behind me the steepness
of these slopes, you get dry brush, high temperatures, steep
to top topography.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
And an ignition.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
That's a formula for the problems that we're experiencing today.
We expect even though the weather is to get cooler
and humidity is supposed to increase.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
My understanding is the Weather Service is saying we're going to.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Get more of an on short flow than certainly is
a great break for us, but it's not doing us
much good right now.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
If you look again to behind.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Me, you're seeing a significant smoke column that I'm being
told is up near the top of the Ortega Highway.
My understanding is the fire has jumped the Ortega Highway
and is.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Now working into Decker Canyon.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
And anybody that knows anything about Decker Canyon in Riverside
County knows that that is a very difficult place to
fight fired. In fact, we've had firefighter loss of life
there in the past. Again, I mentioned the steep terrain,
the challenges with the temperature. I'm getting a lot of
questions about Santiago Peak.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Many of you probably.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Saw the same videos that I have on social media
and on TV, and certainly they were impacted.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
My understanding is that we put quite a bit.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Of retardant around those towers and the communication site in
advance of the fire hitting. But you got to understand
that when the fire does reach up there, it's going
to wrap around. So there were several times through last
night and through today that fire made additional runs.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
At those towers. I don't know what if there's any
damage up.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
There, but in talking with the Sheriff Communications and fire Communications,
we haven't experienced any loss of communication.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
But in terms of damage, I really don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
As I mentioned burnings, in all conditions, we are getting
some due to the winds.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Meet You can look behind me. You can got to
see the left flank here is looking a whole lot better.
We hope it stays that way.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
We did move resources this morning into Majesica Canyon and
into Silverado Canyon because the fire was starting to creep
down from the mouths of those canyons. Although it was backing,
We're always cognizant of the fact that the wind could
change at any time and blow that fire down into
those heavily habitated communities there is unless it's changed.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I'll turn it over to the sheriff here in a minute.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Miner staying is there are voluntary evacuation notice in those canyons.
Drove those canyons about mid day to day and people
were leaving, livestock was leaving.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
But there's always a few that are going to stay.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
But it still looked very, very good when I left
there today. Again, numerous warnings and orders remain in place
for the communities of Tribuco, Canyon, Rancho, Santa Margarita, and
Sound rips surrounding areas. We remain in unified command with
cal Fire, the United States Forest Service, the Orange County
Sheriff's Department in Riverside County.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
We'll take questions at.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
The end of this press conference, and until then, I
will introduce a Censius Sheriff, John Maccolo.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
This is the airport fire down at Tribuco in Orange County.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Good afternoon.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I'd like to thank our partners with the Orange County
Fire Authority and CalFire for being in unified command with
us as we work together to respond to this fire.
And most importantly, i'd like to thank the community for
their support and patients as we address these challenging conditions.
We continue to update evacuation orders and assists with road

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, this seems like it's a good spot.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Here.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The officials at down in Orange County talking about the
fire in Tribuco Canyon which started just yesterday, say it's
now more than ten thousand acres in size, still zero
percent containment. That's all according to the Orange County Fire Authority,
A zero containment for that Tribuco Canyon fire. Will be
given you updates all day long. Right here, Tim, thank
you very much.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It is the Conway Show. Dig down with you all right.
Crazy fire is going on. Mark Thompson is not supposed
to be here. He's supposed to be visiting with his
mother in Washington, d C. But his mother called and said,
please please, Mark, don't come. I got bingo, I got
a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, if you can't bring Conway, that's right ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Just tip And so you're here, buddy for the big debate.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I'm excited. I'm excited for the fire coverage and the debate.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
All right, the fire, the line fire is the horrible,
big one. This Tribuco Canyon fire is also a complete mess.
And because it jumped or seventy four, that's a nightmare.
That fire can now roll on and on. They tried
to stop that. That's a big natural break there the
seventy four, and they try to keep it north of
(10:09):
the seventy four, and it jumped the seventy four, and
now it can go all the way to the seventy eight.
It can go into you know, Temecula or you know,
there's a bunch of different communities on the other side
of those mountains that this fire could affect. And Mark,
you know this better than anybody, because you did the weather.
When they say this thing is creating its own weather,
(10:32):
its own weather out of this storm, I never I
thought that that was just smoke and wind. I didn't
know it. Also, it could create.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
Rain, Oh yeah, Well, I mean all the elements are
there essentially, and typically what we talk about when we
talk about a fire creating its own weather is the vacuum.
Essentially that's established because the heat is so great that
the air moves up so right, warm air rises so
hot air rises very quickly, and it creates a vacuum.
(11:00):
It creates a void, and that void is then filled
by new air. So think about the air rushing in.
It's had great velocity that it's rushing in. That's typically
what we talk about, and that's the kind of continuous
circulation of it creating its own weather.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But you're right.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
The other element is that as particulate matter in that
smoke goes up into the atmosphere, it becomes a place
where water particles, small water particles that normally wouldn't produce precipitation,
can bond, and that creates essentially the at least it
presents the possibility of rain.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Two of the people up.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
In that Running Springs area, we're talking about the storm
or the rain that this storm that this fire is created,
and both of them agreed, and I've never heard this before.
They've said they've never seen rain drops that big is
that also, I mean that's unusual.
Speaker 9 (11:52):
Well, that's just a sign I guess that there is
again enough of this particulate matter and there are enough
water droplets in the air, there's enough moisture in the air,
they become water droplets.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
They bond to this stuff, and that is what creates it.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
So yeah, I mean, the more of those elements, and
the greater those elements, the greater the thunderstorm threat, and
the I guess, the bigger the drops, if you want
to think of it that way.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
All right, we've got three major fires going on. We
got the line fire up in up near Arrowhead Running Springs,
east west of Big Bear, and then we got the
airport that's the one we just heard about in Tubuco
Tribuco Canyon.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
And then we got the bridge fire.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So that one is a little smaller, but yet still
very dangerous because of the you know, the hillside. There's
a lot of those cliffs are at eighty degrees and
in an angle, and so it's hard to fight that
because it's hot, it's steep, and there's a lot of
fuel up there.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, that's the one near by me by Yermont actually,
and I just had a neighbor of mine just texted
me and said, because he's above the freeway there where
they were, oh wow, where the foot hills are. And
he says he's worried. He's says he's waiting for it
to hit a certain area there, Sunset Ridge. He says,
if it hits there, he's probably gonna split.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, but fortunately, Croche, you may want to call him
back and tell him this. We're gonna get an onshore breeze.
It'll blow that east if you know, as opposed to
the sant Anas that would have blown it towards you.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, kind of like the like the big one that
we've been talking about over there in San Bordadino that's
been kind of moving more eastwards too.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's and I hope it doesn't get up to Arrowhead
or Big Bear. It looks like it's it's Arrowhead is
not a in in tremendous jeopardy right now, but Big
Bear is still in the line.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You know, the destruction for these.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Fires, evacuations all the way from San Antonio Daan to
up to is that right the resort there?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Oh that's huge.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
All right, We've got three fires We've got one debate
coming up, and we're going to start talking about that
around five thirty or so. The debate starts at six pm.
It's going to go to seven thirty. It's ABCS debate,
ab SS debate. We're going to cover it here on
but it's ABC's big debate, and so we gotta make
(14:05):
sure that they get plenty of credit. ABC News Presidential
Debate simulcast right here on kf I AM six forty.
All Right, lots going on today. Look, you would be
crazy to turn on another station right now.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You know what, You're gonna listen to music when this
fire is going on.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You're gonna listen to you.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Know, to jazz when there's fires going on and debates
going on.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What's wrong with you? The honest pitch, Yes, what's wrong
with you?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
As a matter of fact, not only should you stay,
you should call your friends and tell them to come
in and if they're not listening, something's wrong with them.
Too busy to listen to another station.
Speaker 10 (14:41):
Today, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We have more news than we have time for. We've
got three major fires happening here in southern California, and
we are about an hour and a half away from
the probably going to be the most watched debate. I
think more people will be watching this one then we'll
be watching the Trump Biden debate, because remember the Trump
(15:12):
Biden debate happened in the summer when families were traveling,
and all families are back in school now, Thompson, So
I think a lot more eyeballs will be on this.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Yeah, I agree. And also the significance of this debate.
It's the only debate scheduled, it's likely the only debate
these two will have.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right, it's immensity.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
I mean you can argue whether or not it should
have this effect, but it's immensity. Also with a newer candidate, Right,
people don't know all the details of Kamala Harris the
way they do with Donald Trump. After all, he was
president for four years and people are well familiar with him.
I think there is all of that going into the
tune in Tonet.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
And so those are the two big stories here in
southern California. The three fires that are burning. And we
can look clearly out of our window here in Burbank.
We can see the smoke and the weather build up
from the Bridge fire, which is just you know, north
of the two ten freeway in the Claremont area. Crozier,
is that is that fire east or west of you
(16:12):
of your home?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's maybe a little bit east. Okay, it's pretty much north.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Of us, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And uh and Krozier, Uh, you know, very social guy
knows a lot of people in that area and they're
ready to pack up if it comes any closer.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, my friend Charlie Gale, he's like on the other
side of the freeway, so the north side of that
two ten freeway there and basically to the east of him.
That's kind of that's right in that San Antonio Dam area.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Are the are the north of the two ten Claremont
homeowners snobs to the south two ten homeowners? Yes they are, Yes, Okay,
I'm glad you answered that. Honestly, that seems like the
vibe out there.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Definitely.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
They think they're better than you will. They think the
freeway is a railroad track.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
It takes events like this to bring this sort of
thing to the surface. But a lot of people don't
know this. You do because you we live out there.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But that freeway is fairly new, and and Clairemont was
one big city that wasn't split by a freeway, you know,
thirty years ago, twenty years ago. Hello, how old is
that freeway? Twenty something?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Barely?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, okay, like twenty years old.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I remember that when that freeway opened, it opened I
think on a Saturday. I remember they opened on a weekend,
I believe. And an hour and a half to open
it up, there was a signal or down literally an
hour and a half.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
Yeah, the guy wiped out. And you know, that's great.
That's the most Southern California thing ever.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That's all right, let's get that.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
We heard an update on the Airport fire, the Tribuco
Canyon fire, and Mark, you know, I got a couple
of I got a bone to pick with these guys.
I don't think we should call it the airport fire.
I think we should call it the Tribuco fire. I
think we should called the San Bernardino Mountain fire, or
the fire that's burning just north of Krozer's house, you know,
(18:04):
so people know where it is.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
Yeah, you know how they name these things? And I
mean that I know you do, because you've done so
many of these, but for those who might just be,
you know, spinning in for the first time. It's all
and maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong, Timmy,
but I think it's where this fire has begun.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Sorry, right, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
So oftentimes you can have names like you know, you know,
the railroad tracks on Route thirty four five or whatever
it might be.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I mean, I also, you know, because this is Los
Angeles and we don't have royalty in this country, but
we do have celebrities, I think it should be named
after the closest living celebrity to these fires.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Oh that's a great idea that would get more public attention.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, like, oh, it's the Steve Lawrence fire. Yeah, yeah,
you know, and coincidentally, another one started twenty miles away,
the Edie Gourmet fire.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
You know, tim you're laughing. This is a very cute
little bit that you're doing. But let me tell you,
I was just reading a few days ago about the
fact it was an op ed piece that we should
name these heat waves that we go through because they're
as significant as hurricanes.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
That's interesting and tropical weather.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
And then the same way that they name tropical weather
and hurricanes, these heat waves, which you know, again they
cause all kinds of issues. We have fires that oftentimes
can kick up as a result of the presence of
these heat was they should be named yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
And I think also they should name name the snowstorms too,
like the one that wiped out Big Bear. Sure, you know,
and then name the decent days. You know, if we
have a run of like ten decent days, name.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Those two vis I think maybe we've gotten a little
too much into this idea.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
All right, welcome back and talk about these The line
fire that's the huge one in the in the San
Berdino National Forest there and we'll have an update.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
We have a Kiki d who is our producer.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Because he he's above the freeway there where that oh wow,
where the foothills are, and he says he's worried. He
says he's waiting for it to hit a certain area there,
Sunset Ridge. He says, if it hits there, he's probably
gonna split.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Oh is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But fortunately Croche, you may want to call him back
and tell him this. We're gonna get an onshore breeze.
It'll blow that east if you know, as opposed to
the sant anas that would have blown it towards you.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, kind of like the like the big one that
we've been talking about over there in San Bernadino that's
been kind of moving more eastward too.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, that's and I hope it doesn't get up to
Arrowhead or Big Bear. It looks like it's it's Arrowhead
is not a in in tremendous jeopardy right now, but
Big Bear is still in the line, you know, a
destruction for these.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Fires, evacuations all the way from San Antonio dam to
up to is that right?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, the resort there. Oh, that's huge.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
All right, We've got three fires, We've got one debate
coming up, and we're going to start talking about that
around five thirty or so. The debate starts at six pm.
It's going to go to seven thirty. It's ABC's debate,
ABSE debate. We're gonna cover it here on KFI, but
it's ABC's big debate, and so we gotta make sure
(21:08):
that they get plenty of credit. ABC News Presidential Debate
simulcast right here on k IF. I am six forty.
All right, lots going on today. Look, you would be
crazy to turn on another station right now. Crazy, you know,
what You're gonna listen to music when this fire is
going on. You're gonna listen to h you know, jazz
when there's fires going on and debates going on.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
What's wrong with you? The honest pitch, Yes, what's wrong
with you?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
As a matter of fact, not only should you stay,
you should call your friends and tell them to come in.
And if they're not listening, something's wrong with them. Too
busy to listen to another station.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Today?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
For Sharon Bellio, who's I believe often does she did?
She say a swinger's convention and in Houston. Wow, she
didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I didn't say that. Okay, I'm sure she will.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
We're gonna get to Corvin Carson here in the second,
but first, don't forget it's six o'clock tonight, ABC News
Presidential Debate simulcast right here on KFI AM six forty.
And before we get to Corvin Carson, I was listening
to the presser about the bridge, I'm sorry, the airport fire,
and they said that a cross or take a highway
(22:27):
seventy four, and then I thought, wow, that's really south
of where that fire is. And the Angel popped in
and said, I don't see that. And Angel's great because
she doesn't take any and I just take anything that's
given to me. You know, if they said that fire
is on the moon, I'm like, oh, wow, the moon's
on fire.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
But I think what they're talking about, Angel, if you're
looking at a map, I don't think they're talking about
this crossing or take a highway. I think they're talking
about the it's called the Tanaha Truck Trail, and I
think part of the fire has moved over there. But
I think this might be a separate fire. I think
you're right. I don't think it's it's really broken through,
(23:05):
you know, the Ortega Highway, because if it is, that
means that fire is burned like six or seven miles
south of where it is right now.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
Well, the they just replayed what the OCFA, I think
it was the PIO, the public Information officer, what he
said about it jumping Ortega Highway, and then he mentioned
Deckard Canyon and that's on the south side of Ortega,
just in Lake elsinore So, so it sounds like it
has I just I knew that they'd shut it down
(23:35):
hours ago as a precautionary measure.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
But I don't think it had jumped that. I think
that's a separate fire. I really do.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I think.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And they're talking about you know that fire, and I'm
looking at it right now, and it's on Riverside Drive
and Grand Avenue in that area.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Just I guess it would be right off you know,
the seventy four, but it's right on the seventy four there.
But I think, I look, if that fire has jumped
all the way to there, that's four or five miles
and I don't know. Yeah, it's a long way. But anyway, Angel,
great job. You have a knack for this. You should
get into this, into you know, roads and freeways and stuff,
(24:15):
at least the ones you can pronounce outside of Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 12 (24:19):
That's true because if I can't pronounce it, I'm not
talking about it.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Real quickly, Angel does the traffic for Hawaii, and if
she can't pronounce the highway, the accident doesn't exist.
Speaker 12 (24:29):
Yeah, if that incident never happened, all right, Corbin Cars
and his with us with the line fire, that's the
big one in sand Burdou.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I know people don't like to pronounce it that way,
but I'm comfortable doing that in Sand Bernardino. All right,
So what's going on out there? Carbon bad vibes, H'm yeah.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
The latest is this fire's burned just shy of twenty
eight thousand acres. That's likely to go up as soon
as they get a better look on this thing. Good
progress was made overnight, though the fire was still active.
The front of the fire is burning toward angel Oaks
and Big Bear. That's the same as it was towards
the end of last night when I was here last night.
This thing started Thursday, but really exploded in the dry
brush and rugged train over the weekend. There are currently
(25:11):
sixty five thousand buildings and homes threatened. This includes nine
thousand buildings under evacuation orders fifty six thousand under evacuation warnings.
There is more than two thousand fire personnel on scene,
fifteen helicopters, two hundred and thirty two engines, thirty three dozers,
fifteen water tenders, forty seven hand crews. I see a
(25:31):
lot of them here where I'm at at the incident
command center in Beaumont.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Today one of the big battles for.
Speaker 13 (25:38):
Cruise was staying ahead of these red flags warnings which
warned of twenty five mile per hour wind gus. Not
steady wind gus, but enough that it's made worse because
of the fire. You know, the ignition site. I'm blowing
into those inburs and those can go forever. Cal Fire
Captain Curtis Rhoades says, the current today, the concern today
was Highway thirty eight.
Speaker 14 (25:58):
We actually made a good push Highway thirty eight. We
had some aircraft working in there with our Type one helicopters.
They were able to slow the forward progress of the
fire and allow those bulldozers to getting direct line down there.
So they made some good progress up towards the community
that we're in now, and they're going to continue to
maintain that position as a fires backing down the hill.
Speaker 13 (26:16):
And he also says one of the other one of
the interesting things was how helpful local homeowners were this
year during the fire.
Speaker 14 (26:23):
Yeah, we've seen a handful of locals up here that
have taken some of our crews back into the canyons
and they're helping us navigate the hose lace to get
them back in around this community to help protect the structures. Absolutely,
they're able to open up some of the fences out
here to get some of our bigger equipment through and
get some of the iron where we needed to go
direct on the fire without having to do any devastation
to the property owner's fences, and get through some of
(26:44):
the four service gates as well. So let's put us
in a good place up here, and we're going to
continue to work this area.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So just another Corbin you know, when you made that
sound bite at the beginning of it, I think his
cell phone went off and everybody here at KFI.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Checked the down You know who didn't check?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You no, Chris Little? Who was calling me? So if
someone could call.
Speaker 13 (27:04):
Over to him and say, hey man, your reporters on
the air with Conway.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Wait, so that was Chris Little calling you while you're
on the air.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'll bet you there are ten thousand people who looked
at their phone while you're playing that sound, like, is
that my phone?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Is that my phone got almighty?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
So what do we know right now, Sam Berndino. The
latest five percent contained twenty eight thousand acres now on
cal Fire's website and they this does not look good.
I don't know, you know where it's going, but man,
I tell you I think Lake Arrow had dodged a bullet.
Running Springs is still in danger and also eventually it
(27:42):
could be Big Bear in danger as well.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
Right, yeah, and you know what all across northern California,
what a show they put on this afternoon, the fires.
As I was coming up here from Orange County, there
were these two huge plumes that looked like a nuclear
bombs went off. You could see him on each side,
just kind of a conjunction up between you know, the
Bridge fire and and and the and the fire and
Tribucal Canyon and and this one here in San Bernardino Mountains,
(28:05):
and it just you know, as you as you get closer,
it just took over this whole sky, which we can
all see now. It used to be blue skies just
a couple of hours ago. Now everything's all hazy. So
you know, I'm sure the air quality is going to
be an issue again.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Corbyn, thanks for calling, and we'll tell Chris Little to
leave you alone. Thanks guys, Right, thanks buddy, There he
goes Corbyn. Carson on the line. Fire that's the biggest
of the three burning in southern California.
Speaker 11 (28:28):
You love me some, Corbyn.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That's why I'm not going to get in crap for
saying nuclear nuclear.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, I'm surprised to hear that all show. Well, you know, the.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Way I was taught is that you break it under
two words new and then clear new clear.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
George Norri consistently says nuclear nuclear.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Oh that's great, as long as he's been doing it so.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
And you know that's who used to do that was
President I think Reagan did it.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I think I think Bush Bush did it for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You know, fool me once, shame on, you pull me twice,
and well you fool me a lot.

Hey, I'm six mornings Conray. So Mark Thompson is here
on a Tuesday. That's kind of That's cool, right.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
I love being here and I just unexpectedly my trip
that was planned was postponed a week so I could
cool hang out with you that we've been watching the
fire situation, which is explosive and scary, and then.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
And you have personal experience with I mean your home
was nearly destroyed.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah. No, I lost the house to fire and lost
the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
But uh, you got to tell that story because you know,
we have a new audience every ten minutes or so
on how you went the next day to thank the guys.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Who's oh yeah, the end the neighborhood was completely cordoned off.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
You couldn't get in. I got through. Even as a resident,
you couldn't get in.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
I go.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
But you were out of town when you learned your
house could be burning down.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
Yeah, I mean I had a heroic cat sitter who
got all the animals out and ran as the flames
were engulfing the neighborhood and did indeed engulf the house,
but didn't burn the house down because of really the
heroism of the firefighters. And I could see it all
on security cameras. I was watching on the security cameras
(37:31):
from up north. Then, so of course I came back
right away, and you know, during the overnight hours, and
I you know, hadn't slept all night, and the as
I say, the neighborhood was completely secured, No neighbors were
allowed in. Everybody had been evacuated. I got a connection
with LAPD who took me in. And as I pull
(37:51):
up to the house, and it's really intense when you
see a neighborhood that's been the neighborhood where you've lived
twenty years and now it's in ashes, you know, and
smoldering ashes. At that there was smoke coming out of
all these houses, all the way burned down to the foundation.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
And my house damaged.
Speaker 9 (38:07):
But not burned down and salvageable. And there were the
firefighters and they're standing right in front of the house.
There were four of them, as I were called, in
those yellow slickers with ash on their faces. It was incredible,
almost the heroes. Yeah, it almost looks like it was
a photo shoot or something. They were so, you know,
emblematic of the fight that had gone on all night
(38:29):
against these flames. And I get out of the cars
we'd pull up, and I'm really emotional. I'm wearing sunglasses,
thankfully because I'm choking back tears as I'm saying, guys,
I can't thank you enough. This is extraordinary, and I
want you to know how grateful I am for the
work you do every day and for having been here
(38:50):
for my home and having saved it. Because I'm looking
at the destruction all around and I can't imagine the
kind of flames you had to beat back to protect
my home. And he said, sure, I'm so glad your
house has made it. But I got to be honest
with you. We just got here twenty minutes ago, which
(39:12):
was a real comdown from me, and I'm like, what
I meant was I mean all of you?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
I didn't mean literally you guys. I met all of you.
I tried to save it.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
They still have hot the steam is still coming out
of their Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I tried to save it with my through my choke
back tears. That's crazy. You're a whole battalion. This is
what I meant.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
We just got here. We're sleeping when the actual fire
was going on. Yeah, with uh anyway, power outages another
part of living in southern California with this heat wave
and the fires going on, the earthquakes, and now we
have another thing.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
To worry about. Power outages.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Maybe you were affected, but they're happening all over southern California.
Speaker 17 (39:56):
You realize how important shade is in certain areas, and
of course how important AC is. Now the good news
here where we are in Highland Park. You can see
behind me the lights are back on in this part
of town, but the crews are still working in other
parts of this neighborhood to get the lights back on.
Let me show you some video. The last report that
we got from DWP last night was that they still
had ten thousand customers without power throughout Los Angeles and
(40:19):
southern California Edison, so that there was also thousands of
their customers with power outages as well. The utility companies
tell us that they have been trying to keep up
with the added demand from the successive heat over the
last week. Unfortunately, they say, there have been a number
of smaller outages that they've had to respond to, and
that's why it's time and.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
They just don't have enough cruise, you know, to respond
to all of them. And look, if you have money,
I understand. If you don't have money, I get it.
I give you a pass. But if you have money,
and I'm talking you know, it's spare change around the house,
like decent money. And you don't have a generator, what's
going on with you?
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Where are you staying there?
Speaker 9 (40:54):
Let me just ask you about something about that, because
generators take up space, though, I mean, you need to
actually power a house.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
You a big one, don't you. I'm asking, I don't.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Know know, but but you don't need to power the house,
you need to power the refrigerator, an air.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Couple of lights, and a couple of lights.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah, so where you're going to lose a lot of
money is your refrigerator. You know, all that food thaws
or it gets warm and gets spoiled to get to
throw it all out, and that could be you know,
with the price of groceries nowadays, if your refrigerator is
filled with food and your freezer is filled, maybe you
have a you know, a deep freeze in the garage.
That could be six, seven, eight hundred dollars with the
food easily, and then you have to go to you know,
(41:30):
the grocery store and resupply all of it. And for
that seven or eight hundred dollars, you can buy a
step generator that puts out just enough energy that you're using,
which saves you a lot of gas. And you could
fire that thing up and and have a light on,
have your home security system working, have your refrigerator on,
a TV on, and the air conditioning on. That's really
basically all you need.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Sure, okay, I can see that.
Speaker 9 (41:52):
And we just went through this, as you know, the
power out of our house for a day, and it
gets brutal quickly.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
It's intense, especially during the kind of heat that we
just had.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right, we are waiting for this press conference to
begin in Tribuco. Kenyon, let's go ahead and put that
up now. I do believe we have it.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
That's all I have for new updates. I'm gonna turn
over to our subject matter experts to give you more
information from their perspectives. First all, bring up Orange County
Fire Authority Fire Chief Brian Fantasy.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
All right, thank you, Captain Holiday.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Welcome everybody to reiterate what the Captain just shared. The
fire is currently over ten thousand acres and growing quite quickly.
We've got more than a thousand firefighters assigned and likely
equally as much on order. One of the challenges we're
having is competition with other large fires in southern California.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
The Line Fire, I believe.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Is an excess of twenty thousand acres at this time,
and they've had a lot of resources tied up now
for nearly a week. The Bridge Fire on the Angelus
National Forest in La County also blew up. You probably
saw the smoke column. We certainly could see it here
from Orange County, and it too is growing exponentially. So
(01:19):
all of these fires are drawing down on the limited
resources available to us. Not completely a surprise. We talked
about this certainly in the spring and when you all
met with us in our pre season meetings and media conferences.
I believe that, and I said it in La County
(01:39):
at one of our events, that people believe that just
because we got the rain that we did the last
couple of years, that we would not have the fires
we're experiencing now. And what I try to do is
remind people that we went through many years of drought,
and you know, our fuels, our chaparral here in southern
California is what we call drought resistant, well trout resistant
(02:00):
up to a point, and eventually that vegetation does die.
And we've got a significant dead fuel load in our
southern California mountains.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
And so well, it did get green.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
It was very pretty during the spring, and we thought, wow,
it's going to stay this way. Within that green that
live vegetation, we have considerable dead vegetation. Well, now that
we've had months of hot weather, we've just experienced what
four or five days of extremely hot weather, that live
vegetation is dead, and we are seeing the results of.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
That fuel load.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Not to mention, as you look behind me the steepness
of these slopes, you get dry brush, high temperatures, steep
to top topography.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
And an ignition.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
That's a formula for the problems that we're experiencing today.
We expect even though the weather is to get cooler
and humidity is supposed to increase.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
My understanding is the Weather Service is saying we're going to.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Get more of an on short flow than certainly is
a great break for us, but it's not doing us
much good right now.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
If you look again to behind.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Me, you're seeing a significant smoke column that I'm being
told is up near the top of the Ortega Highway.
My understanding is the fire has jumped the Ortega Highway
and is.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Now working into Decker Canyon.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
And anybody that knows anything about Decker Canyon in Riverside
County knows that that is a very difficult place to
fight fired. In fact, we've had firefighter loss of life
there in the past. Again, I mentioned the steep terrain,
the challenges with the temperature. I'm getting a lot of
questions about Santiago Peak.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Many of you probably.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Saw the same videos that I have on social media
and on TV, and certainly they were impacted.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
My understanding is that we put quite a bit.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Of retardant around those towers and the communication site in
advance of the fire hitting. But you got to understand
that when the fire does reach up there, it's going
to wrap around. So there were several times through last
night and through today that fire made additional runs.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
At those towers. I don't know what if there's any
damage up.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
There, but in talking with the Sheriff Communications and fire Communications,
we haven't experienced any loss of communication.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
But in terms of damage, I really don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
As I mentioned burnings, in all conditions, we are getting
some due to the winds.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Meet You can look behind me. You can got to
see the left flank here is looking a whole lot better.
We hope it stays that way.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
We did move resources this morning into Majesica Canyon and
into Silverado Canyon because the fire was starting to creep
down from the mouths of those canyons. Although it was backing,
We're always cognizant of the fact that the wind could
change at any time and blow that fire down into
those heavily habitated communities there is unless it's changed.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I'll turn it over to the sheriff here in a minute.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Miner staying is there are voluntary evacuation notice in those canyons.
Drove those canyons about mid day to day and people
were leaving, livestock was leaving.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
But there's always a few that are going to stay.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
But it still looked very, very good when I left
there today. Again, numerous warnings and orders remain in place
for the communities of Tribuco, Canyon, Rancho, Santa Margarita, and
Sound rips surrounding areas. We remain in unified command with
cal Fire, the United States Forest Service, the Orange County
Sheriff's Department in Riverside County.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
We'll take questions at.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
The end of this press conference, and until then, I
will introduce a Censius Sheriff, John Maccolo.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
This is the airport fire down at Tribuco in Orange County.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Good afternoon.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I'd like to thank our partners with the Orange County
Fire Authority and CalFire for being in unified command with
us as we work together to respond to this fire.
And most importantly, i'd like to thank the community for
their support and patients as we address these challenging conditions.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, this seems like it's a good spot.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Here.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The officials at down in Orange County talking about the
fire in Tribuco Canyon which started just yesterday, say it's
now more than ten thousand acres in size, still zero
percent containment. That's all according to the Orange County Fire Authority,
A zero containment for that Tribuco Canyon fire. Will be
given you updates all day long. Right here, Tim, thank
you very much.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It is the Conway Show. Dig down with you all right.
Crazy fire is going on. Mark Thompson is not supposed
to be here. He's supposed to be visiting with his
mother in Washington, d C. But his mother called and said,
please please, Mark, don't come. I got bingo, I got
a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, if you can't bring Conway, that's right ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Just tip And so you're here, buddy for the big debate.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I'm excited. I'm excited for the fire coverage and the debate.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
All right, the fire, the line fire is the horrible,
big one. This Tribuco Canyon fire is also a complete mess.
And because it jumped or seventy four, that's a nightmare.
That fire can now roll on and on. They tried
to stop that. That's a big natural break there the
seventy four, and they try to keep it north of
(10:09):
the seventy four, and it jumped the seventy four, and
now it can go all the way to the seventy eight.
It can go into you know, Temecula or you know,
there's a bunch of different communities on the other side
of those mountains that this fire could affect. And Mark,
you know this better than anybody, because you did the weather.
When they say this thing is creating its own weather,
(10:32):
its own weather out of this storm, I never I
thought that that was just smoke and wind. I didn't
know it. Also, it could create.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
Rain, Oh yeah, Well, I mean all the elements are
there essentially, and typically what we talk about when we
talk about a fire creating its own weather is the vacuum.
Essentially that's established because the heat is so great that
the air moves up so right, warm air rises so
hot air rises very quickly, and it creates a vacuum.
(11:00):
It creates a void, and that void is then filled
by new air. So think about the air rushing in.
It's had great velocity that it's rushing in. That's typically
what we talk about, and that's the kind of continuous
circulation of it creating its own weather.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
But you're right.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
The other element is that as particulate matter in that
smoke goes up into the atmosphere, it becomes a place
where water particles, small water particles that normally wouldn't produce precipitation,
can bond, and that creates essentially the at least it
presents the possibility of rain.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Two of the people up.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
In that Running Springs area, we're talking about the storm
or the rain that this storm that this fire is created,
and both of them agreed, and I've never heard this before.
They've said they've never seen rain drops that big is
that also, I mean that's unusual.
Speaker 9 (11:52):
Well, that's just a sign I guess that there is
again enough of this particulate matter and there are enough
water droplets in the air, there's enough moisture in the air,
they become water droplets.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
They bond to this stuff, and that is what creates it.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
So yeah, I mean, the more of those elements, and
the greater those elements, the greater the thunderstorm threat, and
the I guess, the bigger the drops, if you want
to think of it that way.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
All right, we've got three major fires going on. We
got the line fire up in up near Arrowhead Running Springs,
east west of Big Bear, and then we got the
airport that's the one we just heard about in Tubuco
Tribuco Canyon.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
And then we got the bridge fire.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So that one is a little smaller, but yet still
very dangerous because of the you know, the hillside. There's
a lot of those cliffs are at eighty degrees and
in an angle, and so it's hard to fight that
because it's hot, it's steep, and there's a lot of
fuel up there.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah, that's the one near by me by Yermont actually,
and I just had a neighbor of mine just texted
me and said, because he's above the freeway there where
they were, oh wow, where the foot hills are. And
he says he's worried. He's says he's waiting for it
to hit a certain area there, Sunset Ridge. He says,
if it hits there, he's probably gonna split.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, but fortunately, Croche, you may want to call him
back and tell him this. We're gonna get an onshore breeze.
It'll blow that east if you know, as opposed to
the sant Anas that would have blown it towards you.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, kind of like the like the big one that
we've been talking about over there in San Bordadino that's
been kind of moving more eastwards too.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's and I hope it doesn't get up to Arrowhead
or Big Bear. It looks like it's it's Arrowhead is
not a in in tremendous jeopardy right now, but Big
Bear is still in the line.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You know, the destruction for these.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Fires, evacuations all the way from San Antonio Daan to
up to is that right the resort there?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Oh that's huge.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
All right, We've got three fires We've got one debate
coming up, and we're going to start talking about that
around five thirty or so. The debate starts at six pm.
It's going to go to seven thirty. It's ABCS debate,
ab SS debate. We're going to cover it here on
but it's ABC's big debate, and so we gotta make
(14:05):
sure that they get plenty of credit. ABC News Presidential
Debate simulcast right here on kf I AM six forty.
All Right, lots going on today. Look, you would be
crazy to turn on another station right now.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You know what, You're gonna listen to music when this
fire is going on.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You're gonna listen to you.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Know, to jazz when there's fires going on and debates
going on.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What's wrong with you? The honest pitch, Yes, what's wrong
with you?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
As a matter of fact, not only should you stay,
you should call your friends and tell them to come
in and if they're not listening, something's wrong with them.
Too busy to listen to another station.
Speaker 10 (14:41):
Today, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We have more news than we have time for. We've
got three major fires happening here in southern California, and
we are about an hour and a half away from
the probably going to be the most watched debate. I
think more people will be watching this one then we'll
be watching the Trump Biden debate, because remember the Trump
(15:12):
Biden debate happened in the summer when families were traveling,
and all families are back in school now, Thompson, So
I think a lot more eyeballs will be on this.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Yeah, I agree. And also the significance of this debate.
It's the only debate scheduled, it's likely the only debate
these two will have.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right, it's immensity.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
I mean you can argue whether or not it should
have this effect, but it's immensity. Also with a newer candidate, Right,
people don't know all the details of Kamala Harris the
way they do with Donald Trump. After all, he was
president for four years and people are well familiar with him.
I think there is all of that going into the
tune in Tonet.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
And so those are the two big stories here in
southern California. The three fires that are burning. And we
can look clearly out of our window here in Burbank.
We can see the smoke and the weather build up
from the Bridge fire, which is just you know, north
of the two ten freeway in the Claremont area. Crozier,
is that is that fire east or west of you
(16:12):
of your home?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's maybe a little bit east. Okay, it's pretty much north.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Of us, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And uh and Krozier, Uh, you know, very social guy
knows a lot of people in that area and they're
ready to pack up if it comes any closer.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, my friend Charlie Gale, he's like on the other
side of the freeway, so the north side of that
two ten freeway there and basically to the east of him.
That's kind of that's right in that San Antonio Dam area.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Are the are the north of the two ten Claremont
homeowners snobs to the south two ten homeowners? Yes they are, Yes, Okay,
I'm glad you answered that. Honestly, that seems like the
vibe out there.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Definitely.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
They think they're better than you will. They think the
freeway is a railroad track.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
It takes events like this to bring this sort of
thing to the surface. But a lot of people don't
know this. You do because you we live out there.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But that freeway is fairly new, and and Clairemont was
one big city that wasn't split by a freeway, you know,
thirty years ago, twenty years ago. Hello, how old is
that freeway? Twenty something?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Barely?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, okay, like twenty years old.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I remember that when that freeway opened, it opened I
think on a Saturday. I remember they opened on a weekend,
I believe. And an hour and a half to open
it up, there was a signal or down literally an
hour and a half.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
Yeah, the guy wiped out. And you know, that's great.
That's the most Southern California thing ever.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That's all right, let's get that.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
We heard an update on the Airport fire, the Tribuco
Canyon fire, and Mark, you know, I got a couple
of I got a bone to pick with these guys.
I don't think we should call it the airport fire.
I think we should call it the Tribuco fire. I
think we should called the San Bernardino Mountain fire, or
the fire that's burning just north of Krozer's house, you know,
(18:04):
so people know where it is.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
Yeah, you know how they name these things? And I
mean that I know you do, because you've done so
many of these, but for those who might just be,
you know, spinning in for the first time. It's all
and maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong, Timmy,
but I think it's where this fire has begun.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Sorry, right, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
So oftentimes you can have names like you know, you know,
the railroad tracks on Route thirty four five or whatever
it might be.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I mean, I also, you know, because this is Los
Angeles and we don't have royalty in this country, but
we do have celebrities, I think it should be named
after the closest living celebrity to these fires.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Oh that's a great idea that would get more public attention.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, like, oh, it's the Steve Lawrence fire. Yeah, yeah,
you know, and coincidentally, another one started twenty miles away,
the Edie Gourmet fire.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
You know, tim you're laughing. This is a very cute
little bit that you're doing. But let me tell you,
I was just reading a few days ago about the
fact it was an op ed piece that we should
name these heat waves that we go through because they're
as significant as hurricanes.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
That's interesting and tropical weather.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
And then the same way that they name tropical weather
and hurricanes, these heat waves, which you know, again they
cause all kinds of issues. We have fires that oftentimes
can kick up as a result of the presence of
these heat was they should be named yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
And I think also they should name name the snowstorms too,
like the one that wiped out Big Bear. Sure, you know,
and then name the decent days. You know, if we
have a run of like ten decent days, name.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Those two vis I think maybe we've gotten a little
too much into this idea.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
All right, welcome back and talk about these The line
fire that's the huge one in the in the San
Berdino National Forest there and we'll have an update.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
We have a Kiki d who is our producer.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Because he he's above the freeway there where that oh wow,
where the foothills are, and he says he's worried. He
says he's waiting for it to hit a certain area there,
Sunset Ridge. He says, if it hits there, he's probably
gonna split.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Oh is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But fortunately Croche, you may want to call him back
and tell him this. We're gonna get an onshore breeze.
It'll blow that east if you know, as opposed to
the sant anas that would have blown it towards you.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, kind of like the like the big one that
we've been talking about over there in San Bernadino that's
been kind of moving more eastward too.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, that's and I hope it doesn't get up to
Arrowhead or Big Bear. It looks like it's it's Arrowhead
is not a in in tremendous jeopardy right now, but
Big Bear is still in the line, you know, a
destruction for these.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Fires, evacuations all the way from San Antonio dam to
up to is that right?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, the resort there. Oh, that's huge.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
All right, We've got three fires, We've got one debate
coming up, and we're going to start talking about that
around five thirty or so. The debate starts at six pm.
It's going to go to seven thirty. It's ABC's debate,
ABSE debate. We're gonna cover it here on KFI, but
it's ABC's big debate, and so we gotta make sure
(21:08):
that they get plenty of credit. ABC News Presidential Debate
simulcast right here on k IF. I am six forty.
All right, lots going on today. Look, you would be
crazy to turn on another station right now. Crazy, you know,
what You're gonna listen to music when this fire is
going on. You're gonna listen to h you know, jazz
when there's fires going on and debates going on.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
What's wrong with you? The honest pitch, Yes, what's wrong
with you?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
As a matter of fact, not only should you stay,
you should call your friends and tell them to come in.
And if they're not listening, something's wrong with them. Too
busy to listen to another station.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Today?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
For Sharon Bellio, who's I believe often does she did?
She say a swinger's convention and in Houston. Wow, she
didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I didn't say that. Okay, I'm sure she will.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
We're gonna get to Corvin Carson here in the second,
but first, don't forget it's six o'clock tonight, ABC News
Presidential Debate simulcast right here on KFI AM six forty.
And before we get to Corvin Carson, I was listening
to the presser about the bridge, I'm sorry, the airport fire,
and they said that a cross or take a highway
(22:27):
seventy four, and then I thought, wow, that's really south
of where that fire is. And the Angel popped in
and said, I don't see that. And Angel's great because
she doesn't take any and I just take anything that's
given to me. You know, if they said that fire
is on the moon, I'm like, oh, wow, the moon's
on fire.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
But I think what they're talking about, Angel, if you're
looking at a map, I don't think they're talking about
this crossing or take a highway. I think they're talking
about the it's called the Tanaha Truck Trail, and I
think part of the fire has moved over there. But
I think this might be a separate fire. I think
you're right. I don't think it's it's really broken through,
(23:05):
you know, the Ortega Highway, because if it is, that
means that fire is burned like six or seven miles
south of where it is right now.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
Well, the they just replayed what the OCFA, I think
it was the PIO, the public Information officer, what he
said about it jumping Ortega Highway, and then he mentioned
Deckard Canyon and that's on the south side of Ortega,
just in Lake elsinore So, so it sounds like it
has I just I knew that they'd shut it down
(23:35):
hours ago as a precautionary measure.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
But I don't think it had jumped that. I think
that's a separate fire. I really do.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I think.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And they're talking about you know that fire, and I'm
looking at it right now, and it's on Riverside Drive
and Grand Avenue in that area.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Just I guess it would be right off you know,
the seventy four, but it's right on the seventy four there.
But I think, I look, if that fire has jumped
all the way to there, that's four or five miles
and I don't know. Yeah, it's a long way. But anyway, Angel,
great job. You have a knack for this. You should
get into this, into you know, roads and freeways and stuff,
(24:15):
at least the ones you can pronounce outside of Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 12 (24:19):
That's true because if I can't pronounce it, I'm not
talking about it.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Real quickly, Angel does the traffic for Hawaii, and if
she can't pronounce the highway, the accident doesn't exist.
Speaker 12 (24:29):
Yeah, if that incident never happened, all right, Corbin Cars
and his with us with the line fire, that's the
big one in sand Burdou.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I know people don't like to pronounce it that way,
but I'm comfortable doing that in Sand Bernardino. All right,
So what's going on out there? Carbon bad vibes, H'm yeah.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
The latest is this fire's burned just shy of twenty
eight thousand acres. That's likely to go up as soon
as they get a better look on this thing. Good
progress was made overnight, though the fire was still active.
The front of the fire is burning toward angel Oaks
and Big Bear. That's the same as it was towards
the end of last night when I was here last night.
This thing started Thursday, but really exploded in the dry
brush and rugged train over the weekend. There are currently
(25:11):
sixty five thousand buildings and homes threatened. This includes nine
thousand buildings under evacuation orders fifty six thousand under evacuation warnings.
There is more than two thousand fire personnel on scene,
fifteen helicopters, two hundred and thirty two engines, thirty three dozers,
fifteen water tenders, forty seven hand crews. I see a
(25:31):
lot of them here where I'm at at the incident
command center in Beaumont.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Today one of the big battles for.
Speaker 13 (25:38):
Cruise was staying ahead of these red flags warnings which
warned of twenty five mile per hour wind gus. Not
steady wind gus, but enough that it's made worse because
of the fire. You know, the ignition site. I'm blowing
into those inburs and those can go forever. Cal Fire
Captain Curtis Rhoades says, the current today, the concern today
was Highway thirty eight.
Speaker 14 (25:58):
We actually made a good push Highway thirty eight. We
had some aircraft working in there with our Type one helicopters.
They were able to slow the forward progress of the
fire and allow those bulldozers to getting direct line down there.
So they made some good progress up towards the community
that we're in now, and they're going to continue to
maintain that position as a fires backing down the hill.
Speaker 13 (26:16):
And he also says one of the other one of
the interesting things was how helpful local homeowners were this
year during the fire.
Speaker 14 (26:23):
Yeah, we've seen a handful of locals up here that
have taken some of our crews back into the canyons
and they're helping us navigate the hose lace to get
them back in around this community to help protect the structures. Absolutely,
they're able to open up some of the fences out
here to get some of our bigger equipment through and
get some of the iron where we needed to go
direct on the fire without having to do any devastation
to the property owner's fences, and get through some of
(26:44):
the four service gates as well. So let's put us
in a good place up here, and we're going to
continue to work this area.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
So just another Corbin you know, when you made that
sound bite at the beginning of it, I think his
cell phone went off and everybody here at KFI.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Checked the down You know who didn't check?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You no, Chris Little? Who was calling me? So if
someone could call.
Speaker 13 (27:04):
Over to him and say, hey man, your reporters on
the air with Conway.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Wait, so that was Chris Little calling you while you're
on the air.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'll bet you there are ten thousand people who looked
at their phone while you're playing that sound, like, is
that my phone?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Is that my phone got almighty?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
So what do we know right now, Sam Berndino. The
latest five percent contained twenty eight thousand acres now on
cal Fire's website and they this does not look good.
I don't know, you know where it's going, but man,
I tell you I think Lake Arrow had dodged a bullet.
Running Springs is still in danger and also eventually it
(27:42):
could be Big Bear in danger as well.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
Right, yeah, and you know what all across northern California,
what a show they put on this afternoon, the fires.
As I was coming up here from Orange County, there
were these two huge plumes that looked like a nuclear
bombs went off. You could see him on each side,
just kind of a conjunction up between you know, the
Bridge fire and and and the and the fire and
Tribucal Canyon and and this one here in San Bernardino Mountains,
(28:05):
and it just you know, as you as you get closer,
it just took over this whole sky, which we can
all see now. It used to be blue skies just
a couple of hours ago. Now everything's all hazy. So
you know, I'm sure the air quality is going to
be an issue again.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Corbyn, thanks for calling, and we'll tell Chris Little to
leave you alone. Thanks guys, Right, thanks buddy, There he
goes Corbyn. Carson on the line. Fire that's the biggest
of the three burning in southern California.
Speaker 11 (28:28):
You love me some, Corbyn.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That's why I'm not going to get in crap for
saying nuclear nuclear.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, I'm surprised to hear that all show. Well, you know, the.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Way I was taught is that you break it under
two words new and then clear new clear.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
George Norri consistently says nuclear nuclear.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Oh that's great, as long as he's been doing it so.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
And you know that's who used to do that was
President I think Reagan did it.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I think I think Bush Bush did it for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You know, fool me once, shame on, you pull me twice,
and well you fool me a lot.

Don't forget.

Hey, I'm six mornings Conray. So Mark Thompson is here
on a Tuesday. That's kind of That's cool, right.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
I love being here and I just unexpectedly my trip
that was planned was postponed a week so I could
cool hang out with you that we've been watching the
fire situation, which is explosive and scary, and then.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
And you have personal experience with I mean your home
was nearly destroyed.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah. No, I lost the house to fire and lost
the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
But uh, you got to tell that story because you know,
we have a new audience every ten minutes or so
on how you went the next day to thank the guys.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Who's oh yeah, the end the neighborhood was completely cordoned off.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
You couldn't get in. I got through. Even as a resident,
you couldn't get in.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
I go.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
But you were out of town when you learned your
house could be burning down.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
Yeah, I mean I had a heroic cat sitter who
got all the animals out and ran as the flames
were engulfing the neighborhood and did indeed engulf the house,
but didn't burn the house down because of really the
heroism of the firefighters. And I could see it all
on security cameras. I was watching on the security cameras
(37:31):
from up north. Then, so of course I came back
right away, and you know, during the overnight hours, and
I you know, hadn't slept all night, and the as
I say, the neighborhood was completely secured, No neighbors were
allowed in. Everybody had been evacuated. I got a connection
with LAPD who took me in. And as I pull
(37:51):
up to the house, and it's really intense when you
see a neighborhood that's been the neighborhood where you've lived
twenty years and now it's in ashes, you know, and
smoldering ashes. At that there was smoke coming out of
all these houses, all the way burned down to the foundation.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
And my house damaged.
Speaker 9 (38:07):
But not burned down and salvageable. And there were the
firefighters and they're standing right in front of the house.
There were four of them, as I were called, in
those yellow slickers with ash on their faces. It was incredible,
almost the heroes. Yeah, it almost looks like it was
a photo shoot or something. They were so, you know,
emblematic of the fight that had gone on all night
(38:29):
against these flames. And I get out of the cars
we'd pull up, and I'm really emotional. I'm wearing sunglasses,
thankfully because I'm choking back tears as I'm saying, guys,
I can't thank you enough. This is extraordinary, and I
want you to know how grateful I am for the
work you do every day and for having been here
(38:50):
for my home and having saved it. Because I'm looking
at the destruction all around and I can't imagine the
kind of flames you had to beat back to protect
my home. And he said, sure, I'm so glad your
house has made it. But I got to be honest
with you. We just got here twenty minutes ago, which
(39:12):
was a real comdown from me, and I'm like, what
I meant was I mean all of you?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
I didn't mean literally you guys. I met all of you.
I tried to save it.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
They still have hot the steam is still coming out
of their Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I tried to save it with my through my choke
back tears. That's crazy. You're a whole battalion. This is
what I meant.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
We just got here. We're sleeping when the actual fire
was going on. Yeah, with uh anyway, power outages another
part of living in southern California with this heat wave
and the fires going on, the earthquakes, and now we
have another thing.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
To worry about. Power outages.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Maybe you were affected, but they're happening all over southern California.
Speaker 17 (39:56):
You realize how important shade is in certain areas, and
of course how important AC is. Now the good news
here where we are in Highland Park. You can see
behind me the lights are back on in this part
of town, but the crews are still working in other
parts of this neighborhood to get the lights back on.
Let me show you some video. The last report that
we got from DWP last night was that they still
had ten thousand customers without power throughout Los Angeles and
(40:19):
southern California Edison, so that there was also thousands of
their customers with power outages as well. The utility companies
tell us that they have been trying to keep up
with the added demand from the successive heat over the
last week. Unfortunately, they say, there have been a number
of smaller outages that they've had to respond to, and
that's why it's time and.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
They just don't have enough cruise, you know, to respond
to all of them. And look, if you have money,
I understand. If you don't have money, I get it.
I give you a pass. But if you have money,
and I'm talking you know, it's spare change around the house,
like decent money. And you don't have a generator, what's
going on with you?
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Where are you staying there?
Speaker 9 (40:54):
Let me just ask you about something about that, because
generators take up space, though, I mean, you need to
actually power a house.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
You a big one, don't you. I'm asking, I don't.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Know know, but but you don't need to power the house,
you need to power the refrigerator, an air.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Couple of lights, and a couple of lights.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah, so where you're going to lose a lot of
money is your refrigerator. You know, all that food thaws
or it gets warm and gets spoiled to get to
throw it all out, and that could be you know,
with the price of groceries nowadays, if your refrigerator is
filled with food and your freezer is filled, maybe you
have a you know, a deep freeze in the garage.
That could be six, seven, eight hundred dollars with the
food easily, and then you have to go to you know,
(41:30):
the grocery store and resupply all of it. And for
that seven or eight hundred dollars, you can buy a
step generator that puts out just enough energy that you're using,
which saves you a lot of gas. And you could
fire that thing up and and have a light on,
have your home security system working, have your refrigerator on,
a TV on, and the air conditioning on. That's really
basically all you need.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Sure, okay, I can see that.
Speaker 9 (41:52):
And we just went through this, as you know, the
power out of our house for a day, and it
gets brutal quickly.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
It's intense, especially during the kind of heat that we
just had.
