We have another brush fire here in Orange County. A few years ago, our house was evacuated due to the Canyon2 Fire. Today was one of the windiest days this year and of course, a brush fire pops up nearby.
Map shows where the fire started and the current burn area. The orange/peach area is under mandatory evacuation order. My house is just off the map to the north of the “North Tustin” label. It’s pretty crazy how fast the fire spreads when there is 50-70 mph winds.
I got an emergency notification on my phone from the city of Irvine about a mandatory evacuation early this morning. I was actually on my way home from the podiatrist. He removed the stitches in my toe and said to come back in a few weeks. Anyway, since we weren’t being evacuated immediately, I packed up a few things into five duffle bags/backpacks and placed them near the door. I also plugged in my car so I’d have a full charge if the evacuation order came. It’s been 5 hours and it looks like the fire is headed more SSW than East so I think we’re okay for now.

A few friends texted me about whether my dialysis center is still open. The center is more to the west so it’s not even on the map above. I think the clinic and the hospital complex will be okay. There is no brush anywhere near the hospital. So regardless of what happens, I’ll be going to dialysis at 5:30 am tomorrow.
