WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.960 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.879 AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:07.240 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.759 The Hughes Fire. This is a fire that is burning 5 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:14.039 near Castiak Lake. The last indicator was that it's at 6 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.559 five hundred acres, but it's well above that by now, 7 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.239 if you can just tell by some of the images 8 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.839 that we have seen coming in from helicopters and other 9 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.679 static cameras throughout the area. The fire started along Lake 10 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.519 Hughes Road just northeast of Castaic Lake well over an 11 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.039 hour ago and is up over five hundred It's probably 12 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.719 closer to one thousand plus acres. Several areas around Castaic 13 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.880 Lake are now under evacuation orders. That includes the Bitter Canyon, 14 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.520 the Charlie Canyon area, and then on the west side 15 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:53.719 of I five anywhere along Hillcrest Parkway or Sloan Canyon 16 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.399 Road going west towards Casteak High School. All of those 17 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.560 areas are currently under evacuation orders. 18 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.959 The winds are about thirty three to thirty five miles 19 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.599 per hour those are sustained. The fire, according to Cruz, 20 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.560 is shifting towards the lake, but they're worried about the embers, 21 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.439 the spot fires for surrounding communities. The winds are picking up. 22 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.239 There are going to be higher winds as we move 23 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.359 into the afternoon. A high wind warning in the area 24 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.000 starting at two pm into ten and then ten tonight 25 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.000 again some more winds, some stronger gusts. They have a 26 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.280 lot of fixed wing aircraft battling this thing from the sky. 27 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.159 They were quick to get there the evacuation warning. It's 28 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.439 got to stay on top of these again, don't wait. 29 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.280 They are expanding by the moment now. New Hall CHPIE 30 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.079 says they are considering a full closure of the five 31 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.480 freeway in the Castaic area. It is open at this moment, 32 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.079 but they say, is that smoke builds up? The smoke alone, 33 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.920 says the CHP says. Closures are like just for your 34 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.879 planning purposes. If you are headed up I five, maybe 35 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.599 you're not our own. 36 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.759 Jenny Harmon says that the five southbound is shut down 37 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.599 at the one thirty eight.

Again, 55 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.280 all of the areas right around Castaic Lake, a few 56 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.039 places to the west of I five are under evacuation orders. 57 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:11.639 We've seen some of the images. 58 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.000 There are a handful of elementary schools, I shouldn't say 59 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.639 a handful, but at least two elementary schools, middle school 60 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.080 and a high school that are under these evacuation order areas. 61 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.280 As this fire continues to burn, we've asked for your 62 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:30.039 view of what's going on and Susan is in Santa Clarita. 63 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.919 You you were kicked out of your office, right, Yes, 64 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:36.520 I worked off of the. 65 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.759 L twenty six and the five in the industrial area 66 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.159 and the fire started as a little, tiny, tiny thingler 67 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:49.360 within twenty minutes has exploded and the winds are hard 68 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:50.800 out there is flowing. 69 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:51.680 Very very hard. 70 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.039 Yeah, we saw gusts in that area as much as 71 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.639 thirty thirty five miles an hour and some So. 72 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.520 That's where they're at right now, about the five miles 73 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.199 per hower sustained.

Now they're headed to Castaic 100 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.639 with engines from Santa Monica Beverly Hills, LA Fire Department. 101 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.000 So they want to get on top of this thing 102 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.040 right quick, despite the fact that they're prepositioned in areas 103 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.439 where winds will also be kicking up in less than 104 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:40.079 two hours. 105 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.079 If you have images or video that you want to 106 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.279 send us from where you are about the Hues fire, 107 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.199 you can always send them to us via Instagram at 108 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.959 Gary and Shannon.

The evacuation orders have 115 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.199 remained static for the last few minutes, which is a 116 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.079 nice change, but they do continue all around Castac Lake 117 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.399 and a few places in those neighborhoods along Sloan Canyon 118 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.279 and Hillcrest Parkway on the west side of I five 119 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.040 currently under evacuation orders. 120 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.720 I just got this out of CHP New Hall. 121 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.920 Ifive northbound at Parker Road off ramp and I five 122 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.000 northbound at Lake Hughes Road off ramp will be shut down. 123 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.120 Last time they did that was for a winter storm. 124 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:44.480 So they do have a turnaround there that's going to 125 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.800 be available for people to go back another way. 126 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.839 But they have requested two very large air tankers at 127 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.360 this point as well. They had those water tenders out there, 128 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.600 some DC ten, some fixed wing. Now they're asking for 129 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.160 the heavy duty ones. They say there has not spotted 130 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.680 over Castaic Lake at this time according to radio traffic. 131 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.800 But again I five closure I five northbound at Parker 132 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.360 Road off ramp and I five northbound at Lake Hughes 133 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.800 Road off ramp will be shut down. 134 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.240 One more called Jim is headed on the one on 135 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.160 one south of Ventura. What's going on, Jim? 136 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.319 Well, I'm actually in Santa Paula now on the one 137 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.160 twenty sixth, and the smoke is that it's headed southwest west, 138 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.399 so it's got Camillo covered parts one thousand oaks covered, 139 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.879 and the wind is blowing like crazy out here. It's 140 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.600 pumping me around in the box truck. 141 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.319 Pretty good, Yeah, all right. 142 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.560 Well, drive safe, Jim, driving there on the one twenty 143 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.120 six one eight hundred five two zero one five three 144 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.720 four eight hundred five to oh one KFI. Let us 145 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.399 know if you have been affected by this fire burning 146 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.680 near Castaic Lake, five hundred plus acres well over that 147 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.079 by now it's being called the Hughes Fire, and there 148 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.480 are a few thousand people who are under these evacuation 149 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.279 orders because of this fire there. 150 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.639 With mandatory evacuations all over Castaic Lake area. The latest 151 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.040 now is this fire is now thirty four hundred acres. 152 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.519 Substantial in that this began at ten thirty and developed 153 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.439 from fifty acres to five hundred within oh, I don't know, 154 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.279 half an hour something of that nature now at thirty 155 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.199 four hundred acres. Speaking to the fuel, the way the 156 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.839 winds are carrying this thing as well, and the massive 157 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:34.120 response from firefighters in the air and on the ground, 158 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.679 Strike Team's task force from all over the area flocking 159 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.440 to this thing to get a handle on it. 160 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.879 The evacuation orders, as you mentioned on both sides of 161 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.840 the lake, both sides of I five now as well 162 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.120 Sloane Canyon and the Hillcrest Parkway area, that it does 163 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.600 involve a handful of schools that have been evacuated or 164 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.879 will be evacuated because they're in the evacuation order area. 165 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.960 And then the evacuation warnings go as far south as 166 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.039 the one twenty six, making their way sort of into 167 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:10.399 the Santa Clarita Valley along what is Bouquet Canyon Road, 168 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.320 Copper Hill Drive and things like that. As you get 169 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.879 closer into those are the warning areas. So people in 170 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.000 those areas are being told to just kind of be 171 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.039 ready and set to go in the event that this 172 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.840 thing changes. Hard to get a grasp exactly as to 173 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:29.080 which direction it is spreading, because while the smoke itself 174 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.120 is blowing to the south and to the west, and 175 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.120 we've seen a bunch of people. 176 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:32.960 That's the way. 177 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.039 That that that's the winds are coming from the north 178 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.399 and the east, so it's. 179 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:38.679 Going to blow the smoke that way. 180 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.399 But it looks like the fire itself may be moving 181 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.000 up the hills, which would put it against the direction 182 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:46.759 of the winds. 183 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.000 If you're coming up or down I five. 184 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.000 Know that there are closures, probably going to be more, 185 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:57.080 just an estimation right now. According to CHP new hal 186 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:01.639 the I five northbound at par Road off ramp, it's 187 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.960 shut down there, and at I five northbound at Lake 188 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.559 Hughes Road that off ramps shut down as well. 189 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.840 Cody's on I five, what's going on? 190 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.679 Hey guys, I just got off the freeway here in Valencia. 191 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.120 The fire looks like it's flowing to the west, like 192 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:17.720 you're saying. 193 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.799 I live in Green Valley, which. 194 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:21.559 Is up Copper Hill. 195 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:23.440 Hopefully it doesn't. 196 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:24.600 Climb the hill here in fight the wind. 197 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.639 But five is still open. 198 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.000 Not much traffic yet, but I'm sure it'll get worse. 199 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.399 Yeah, it definitely will. 200 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.799 It is closed farther up the freeway. As Shannon was 201 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.080 mentioning if you were to go all the way to 202 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.960 park a road a castag that is actually the beginning 203 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.559 of the evacuation order zones. 204 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.679 So that's why they have that thing. They have that thing. 205 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.240 Close down just so you know east of Green Valley 206 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.440 is there are evacuation warnings in place for east of 207 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.240 Green Valley to the east there nearly to Samberg on 208 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:57.240 the north as well. 209 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:02.360 You mentioned thirty four hundred acres already pretty quick expansion 210 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.720 of this fire. And as I mentioned earlier, the original 211 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.480 call was for four helicopters. They have asked for at 212 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.879 least eight more and there's two, four, six, eight, twelve. 213 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.080 It looks like they have all twelve of the helicopters 214 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.639 on scene. There are others in the air in that area. 215 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.679 If you look at flight Radar twenty four, which is 216 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.279 sort of the live air traffic look over the top 217 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.759 of it, a bunch of large air tankers and as 218 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.720 you mentioned, the very large air tankers have been requested. 219 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.080 So they are hitting this with just about everything they 220 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.120 have from the air that's available to them. And the 221 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.919 original call was for fifty fire engines to take this on, 222 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.799 a dozen hand crews, etc. 223 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.919 But you know that that number has expanded. 224 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.320 Also, again, it looks like northbound I five closed at 225 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.759 Parker Road southbound at the one thirty eight way up 226 00:11:52.799 --> 00:12:00.639 near the Gorman area. So the ifive is closed northbound 227 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.720 at Parker Road south found at the one thirty eight, 228 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.919 it's gonna potentially stay that way for some time until 229 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.879 this either the smoke clears or they can get a 230 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.639 handle on some of the containment on this fire. 231 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.559 All right, If you've got images, you've got footage you 232 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.159 want to share, you can email it to us at 233 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:22.360 gas Bag Kfi at gmail dot com again, gas Bag 234 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.759 Kfi at gmail dot com, or you can send it 235 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.440 via Instagram. 236 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.320 Or Twitter at Garia and Gary and Shannon. 237 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.679 Jim is calling headed up the one twenty six.

This does not mean the 312 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.759 areas where they have saturated neighborhoods with strike teams to 313 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:55.519 protect structures and homes. 314 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.519 Carrie Anne is calling us eight hundred five to zero 315 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.960 one five three four. By the way, carry in works 316 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.759 there in Santa Clarita just nearby. 317 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:04.599 What do you see? 318 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.200 Lots of black smoke, now a lot of white smoke, 319 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.599 but lots of black smoke, and a lot of traffic 320 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.400 on Bouquet and New Hall Ranch roads because they've closed 321 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.079 the off ramps, so now everyone is taking the back 322 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.160 way to get to wherever they need to go. 323 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.759 Yeah, I think a lot of it can't take away. 324 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.599 As Shannon mentioned, thank you, carry in. By the way. 325 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.440 As Shannon mentioned, I five closed there at Parker Road, 326 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.640 so you're not going to get up. That's just about 327 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:36.839 as north as you can go. It almost takes you 328 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.519 even with where the fire is burning, So northbound I 329 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:46.559 five at Parker Road, the usual place they would cut 330 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.039 off traffic for a winter storm, over the top of 331 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:49.720 the grapevine. 332 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.079 This thing has the trifecta. 333 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.519 It's got a lot of fuel out there, it's got 334 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.319 the winds with the weather, and it's got the challenging topography. 335 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.799 This is the triangle of hell when it comes to wildfires. 336 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.000 For those of you who are in the area, if 337 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.279 you have not yet done so, close all your windows 338 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.039 and doors. I mean, it's not a warm enough day 339 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.359 that people would have their windows and doors open necessarily, 340 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.799 but it will keep the ashes out. If you could 341 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.119 do that, we'll try to keep some of the smoke out, 342 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.519 potentially keep some of the smoke smell. Marlena is also 343 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.480 calling from the Santa Clarita area. Marlena, what do you see. 344 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.400 Now? 345 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.119 You're asking me why I see you. On my way 346 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.000 to the gym, I saw the clouds and they had 347 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.759 said it's going to range. I thought, oh my god, 348 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.279 this clothes are pretty thick, and then when I came out, 349 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.240 there were black and they're very sick. Are you kidding? 350 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.759 How far are they from Santa Clarita? So that's where 351 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.160 I live. 352 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.000 Well, where exactly in Santa Clarita are you? Because it's 353 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.000 going to depend. I mean, if you lives at thirty 354 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.880 four to twelve, Now, if you're over at Sierra Highway 355 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.960 and Solidad Canyon. Well, it's still a couple of miles 356 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.599 away from you, and hopefully it's not even burning that direction. 357 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.759 But you know, just be aware of it.
