Updated from the Secret List:
2 Los Angeles County Firefighters gave their lives Sunday when they were driven off the side of a road in heavy smoke and into heavy fire conditions in the Mt. Gleason area, south of Acton, around 1430 Hours. Killed in the Line of Duty were FF Specialist Arnaldo “Arnie” Quinones, 35 and Captain Tedmund “Ted” Hall, 47. Captain Hall had been with the LA County FD for 26 years and Arnie Quinones had been with the department 8 years.
Two firefighters have reportedly died in the line of duty while fighting the Station Fire in California. They were killed when their vehicle overturned on Mount Wilson. Further information on the firefighters will be added when we learn of it.
The Station Fire is just one that is currently burning in California. Reports are scattered on how many acres have burned, but it is somewhere between 35,000 and 100,000 acres.
The 35,000-acre fire threatened over 10,000 homes, 500 commercial properties and 2,000 other structures and rained ash on cars as far away as downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, spreading in all directions in hot, dry conditions.
Station fire burning in the La Cañada / Flintridge area as it heads towards the Santa Clarita Valley and Aqua Dulce.
