Today outside my house the whole sky on the northern area was a gray and black thick coat of smoke. Fortunately for me, Im about a good 15/20 minutes from the fire so Im not affected. However my Dad’s house is in Yorba Linda, he said he can see the flames from his house but is about a half of a mile away at the moment. He hasn’t been evacuated, the residents of his area are under voluntary evacuation.

Firefighters are battling two fast-moving fires that have burned homes in Yorba Linda, Corona and Anaheim Hills and closed both the 91 and 57 freeways.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who have tragically lost their homes, loved ones, or anything of importance to them.

At least 20 homes in Yorba Linda have burned, and officials say the blaze is moving west. Several homes were also burned in Corona. That blaze jumped the 91 Freeway and was burning homes in Anaheim Hills.

The blaze initially started as a brush fire in Corona on Prado Road, and quickly spread to a subdivision known as Dean Homes in the northwest part of the city. Ten homes were damaged, with at least five sustaining major damage.
