This morning I’ve been keeping track of the fires in San Diego. I’ve compiled a list of a few resources that might be helpful:
- Live news coverage of the San Diego fires from NBC
- San Diego Tribune fire blog
- Another local San Diego blogger’s live accounts
… And, last but not least, I’ll be twittering the news updates on the San Diego fires as I hear them.
Update: Added a new map from KBPS.

Or, you could rely on KPBS or their twitter feed, which is probably a better bet.
If you can get KBPS on a good stream, yes, they’re great. I haven’t been able to, unfortunately. But thanks for the twitter feed. That’s a good source too.
Police/fire radio exchange provides interesting clues as well, I linked to couple of Internet scanner sites on my page, http://palacionews.blogspot.com/
We have the windows close because of the contamination outside. Do you think that is it a bad idea to turn the A/C on? Thank you.
The media and health people are all saying AC is ok to have on because it has filters on it.
here’s another link showing extent of fire as of monday afternoon

I’m trying to get fire scanner info. Any one got any free links? I’ve posted some photos from yesterday at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shakz/1717146834/in/set-72157602649420904/
