AREA/CITY: ORTEGA HIGHWAY
DETAILS:
A rapidly expanded brush fire that began in Orange County pushed toward Riverside County Tuesday, prompting evacuation orders and warnings for some residents near Lake Elsinore.
Many neighborhoods in the general area of the 9,300-acre Airport Fire were already under evacuation warnings as the blaze spread. But early Tuesday afternoon, mandatory evacuation orders were issued for an area generally north of the San Diego County line, east of the Orange County line, south of Lake Elsinore near the base of Ortega Highway and west of South Main Divide Road/Grand Avenue.
An evacuation center was established at Santiago High School, 1395 E. Foothill Parkway, Corona. Large animals can be taken to the Jurupa Valley Animal Shelter, 6851 Van Buren Blvd., according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
An interactive map of evacuation areas for residents to determine if they are affected was available online at go.genasys.com....
The Corona-Norco Unified School District opted to close Wilson, Temescal Valley and Todd elementary schools Tuesday due to the proximity of the fire and the resulting poor air quality. All schools in the Lake Elsinore Unified School District were also closed, and all before- and after-school activities were canceled. A college and career fair that had been scheduled by the district Tuesday evening was also canceled.
The Airport Fire began about 1 p.m. Monday near Trabuco Canyon Road in the area of the remote-controlled airplane airport, said Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Sean Doran.
As of Tuesday morning, the blaze had expanded to 9,300 acres “and is growing,” Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
“It has crested the north main divide and gone into Riverside County,” Concialdi said.
The blaze was also bearing down on Santiago Peak, which is home to a series of radio and television broadcast towers, used not only by local media outlets but also federal and local government agencies.
Concialdi said crews were working to protect the peak by had to withdraw from the area because the flames got “too intense.”
The blaze, which had zero containment as of Tuesday afternoon, was still burning through “dense vegetation,” but was “burning toward Ortega Highway,” where there are residences, Concialdi said.
Ortega Highway was closed between Grand Avenue and Nichols Institute. The area had been under a voluntary evacuation warning, but late Tuesday morning, mandatory evacuation orders were issued for areas along the highway near Caspers Park.
A mandatory evacuation order was previously issued for the Robinson Ranch community in Rancho Santa Margarita. Voluntary evacuation warnings were in place for residents on Rose Canyon Road, Trabuco Creek Road, Trabuco Canyon Road, Trabuco Oaks Drive, Joplin Loop and Cook’s Corner. Evacution warnings were issued Tuesday for Silverado and Modjeska canyons.
A “care and reception shelter” for Orange County evacuees was established at the Rancho Santa Margarita Bell Tour Regional Community Center, 22232 El Paseo. Large animals can be sheltered at the Orange County Fair Grounds, 88 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa.
Officials said “much of the terrain is steep and extremely difficult to access,” putting increased reliance on water- and retardant-dropping aircraft.
There were no reports of any serious injuries or structural damage.
Orange County Fire Authority Deputy Chief TJ McGovern told reporters Monday night that the fire was accidentally sparked by a county work crew. McGovern said Orange County Public Works crews were working in the area near Trabuco Creek Road, using heavy equipment to place boulders meant to replace barriers used to restrict access to the vegetation.
“The fire is classified as unintentional. The cause of the fire was a spark from heavy equipment,” McGovern said. “After placing a load of boulders, the operators began seeing smoke coming from the area of the loader’s basket.”
“The operator and the supervisor used multiple fire extinguishers and the loaders to attempt to extinguish the fire while 911 was being called.”
He said that when crews initially arrived on scene, “they recorded a half-acre vegetation fire on both sides of the road and that there was a potential for a large, major incident right off the get go. Crews immediately requested multiple additional resources to help from outside of our county, to our neighboring counties and to our region.”
The OCFA was using new firefighting helicopters that can dump 1,000 gallons of water on the flames, Doran said.

Thanks for a video that shows the true intensity of this fire. Bless the firefighters who are battling this blaze. Pray for all people that they are safe and do not lose their homes.
Praying for them and that dear near the end.
@@Whelmedfoxenso heartbreaking to see the animals run for their lives
Bless the firefighters and volunteers, and animals!!!
And the people who lost their homes 😢
We must thank all the firefighters who battle this inferno! Absolutely unbelievable ! ! !
Why are the Christians still at library harassing man in dress and not helping fight this fire? People are crazy! 🙃
Bless these firefighters going into danger. I cannot imagine! Prayers and thanks to each and every one of them!
These guys are prisoners
@@icap8830 it’s apart of a rehabilitation program for eligible and trusted inmates, they are not forced to do it.
My gosh what incredible footage Scott. Really brings home how destructive and terrifying these fires are
? Scott Who ?
@@d-baserox2773 Who do you think?
This is by far the best footage I have seen from the intense path of this wild fire. Be safe out the to who ever puts their lives at risk to fight these deadly fires, as well as the press. The ones who give us the best insight of all the chaos.
I pray for all the animals that have lost their homes. time stamp 9:24
Don't worry they had Allstate 😅
Commie liberal!!@@DavidStarr-eg2kv
RIP . Oc has dumb ass workers
@@DavidStarr-eg2kvyou’re an idiot.
it's clear as day only here not too clear .. but the world ending days by day
Damn, this footage is crazy, really shows how wild these fires really are. All the helicopter footage and long-distance shots at overly-safe distance from news stations don't do it justice. Mother nature is powerful - best of luck to residents and firefighters alike!
There is no such thing as “Mother Nature”. God created it all!!!
Incredible video footage and well shot. Makes you appreciate what firefighters and emergency personnel endure in situations like this.
Bless all the firefighters . Our Hero's Stay safe!
Poor animals 😢 , can’t imagine how they run for their lives.. praying for all affected people. 🙏🏻
The mountain lions 😢
My heart is breaking. Humans can heed warnings; the animals don't have a chance. :(
Squirrels.
OMG, that fire sounds like a tornado. WOW!
Santa ANA winds there intense this time of year
Praying for everyone.
Thank you to all those firefighters driving INTO the fire to help us outside the fire.
Since this fire was started by a government cleanup crew I think the State of California, The County of Orange need to pay for the damage and costs for putting it out. This is because of lack of proper brush removal. this should not be on the insurance premiums of all Californians.
California will never pay for this. They will scam their way out of it just like every other time. Happened to me 2 years ago in the Fairview fire and the electric company. You don't think these people actually care about us do you?
Hmm. And maybe they're trying to catch an actual arsonist..
Arsonist/Pyro are Super SELFISH. Missing out on the credit for this fire might actually irritate them into saying, "What you just said." 🤔
The people that live in those areas close to the mountains and in the mountains are the ones that will be paying higher insurance premiums or the insurance company's might even deny them insurance lie it happened in Florida.
i'm in awe of the firefighters that deal with these fires. the flames and heat is incredible. excellent footage of these massive flames--some of the shots really show how the fire generates it's own weather and updrafts and wind.
Thanks for the great cameraman from Onscene TV. They are always there and always seem to get the best shots. Thanks again!!
Holy crap!!!! Wow! This is heartbreaking
Thank you for who ever filmed this.
Wow, listen to the fire screams. You can see the fires soul at times. The colors are pretty but as well frightening. Shows up close the intense of the fire. I teared up seeing that deer trying to run for its life to be safe. Lord, please be with these people and fire fighters.
How incredibly helpless the fire fighters must feel sometimes in the face of those massive flames. 😢. Jesus bless them with renewed strength and resolve and STOP THE WIND!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you firefighters/paramedics/team you guys are the goat
The quality of your videos are amazing. You must have some really good cameras
God bless firefighters.🙏
Pray for USA and all the world 🙏
Ortega Hwy is bad enough without this !!!!
To all the firemen… Thank you!!! 🙏🏼
and women. Come on.
How terrible...🥺🥺..Stay safe firefighters 🔥
It's an incredibly dangerous job.. cannot appreciate the firefighters enough.. stay safe.
this brush has not burned in years, thick and large growth all aound those hills and canyons. Thx city workers in the OC using heavy equipment moving those boulders around near the airport and 'sparking off' a setting the near by brush on fire to allow this fire to happen in the first place, total idiots running depts these days.
and why was there NOT a water truck on hand to spray to keep those sparks at bay per OSHA requirements?????? hmm!!!
Exactly
Hottest days of the year-
Lets go use equipment next to a 80 mile tinder box/
Can’t wait until first winter rains.
😊
It seems like they forget & are more and more sloppy with everything! They are 1000% responsible. And if you happen to drive the OC freeways at night, the construction signs are non existent! They put some orange cones in the middle of the frwy blocking off 4 lanes all of a sudden. Very haphazard. No signs warning you that lanes are closed ahead, then there is actually no construction, it’s just blocked off for no reason at 10 on a Saturday night 😮. This is every night. I am fed up with the way they operate!
Because just like the war on drugs, fighting fires is a business and budgets must be justified.
Why? Because they no habla. They don't give a s**t.......that's why.
Amazing footage! Please be safe out there.🙏. Those views of whole hillsides engulfed in flames made me sick to my stomach. I live in the mountains of Colorado and am no stranger to seeing smoke clouds on the horizon. But this footage was like looking into the depths of hell at its worst. Prayers going out to firefighters, homeowners, wild animals and all affected by these blazes. 🙏
Incredible footage. Nice investigative work!
You have to be tough and brave to fight this fire
Everyone pray for the animals that live in these mountains🙏 and pray for the firefighters that are putting their life on the line to try and save homes and this beautiful land. She(fire) has no mercy, She’ll consume everything in her path👹 I am praying for rain, not a lot just enough to kill the fire
🌧️
Insane fire behavior!
Please keep your smoke to yourselves. Thank you. Signed, Nevada
May you live forever. Signed, California
Driving North on the 710 at night you can see the flames from the peak of the mountains. Scary stuff i almost crashed in amazment.
Praying to god bring some rain to save people homes and animals, God bless for firefighters and pray for all of you amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My Lord 😢
Epic footage. Thanks for posting.
Praying for the firefighters and their families to be safe
May God bless and protect all the firefighters 🚒 and volunteers Praying 🙏 for all.
Thank to all the prisoner fire fighters too .
After being evacuated 2 times in NorCal recently this is so terrible to see. We had crews up here from Arcadia, Alhambra, Glendale and other SoCal areas up helping us I know these guys must be exhausted. We had a crew stay on the property for almost a week after literally living on their truck.
🙏
It’s freaking howling!!!!!!
Fire sucks in air so yeah
Amazing footage, You really get a good sense of its power I sure miss my smoke jumper days when i was younger here in Canada
2:50 Those flames are huge! I hope humans and animals were able to get to safety somehow.
This fire is a beast! Lord have mercy! 🙏
Omg. Great video. But wow…. Nasty fire
I’m speechless!
Bless everyone h who or working on this fire. Prayers for those who have lost everthing to the fires. May God be with you.
Fire is no joke it is absolutely devastating. I’ve had to work in fire support hauling equipment or support trailers and there is no way to explain the amount of destruction this causes. God bless these firefighters and first responders.
I’m sorry for all those animals living the wilderness 😢
Feels like the end of the world as we know it. I can't imagine being there and witnessing it with my own eyes. Prayers to everyone!
Lord protect all involved in Jesus name ❤❤❤❤❤❤
God bless each and EVERYONE of You who helped put out the fire!!!
insanely good footage as usual
Prayers to everyone. Please keep our firefighters safe
Wow that is terrifying. Thank you for awesome content showing the reality of these horrific fire storms.
The firefighters and crews prayers for their safety. And that poor deer 🦌 oh my gosh I can’t imagine the wildlife those flames moving so rapidly nothing could get away without being singed or flash burned to death.
A unimaginable fiery nightmare and how hot it must be
Thanks for this upload
My Lord my God please stop this monster. 😢
I've been evacuated for 2 days now. Luckily my home hasn't burned. Hopefully it won't. But the main thing is. My family and pets are all safe.
Dear God, please protect the innocent animals!!
My brother is there. He is keeping his eye on it. He said he will head for the lake. WOW
Fantastic filming! Tragic.
beautiful photography
My brother in law is a firefighter for the forestry he says he makes minimum wage someone tell me am wrong please!!! That's absurd!!!
@@Plutogalaxy ok so is my bro lieing for reference he was in training
Wow stay safe ... Regards from Ireland
God bless the firefighters 🚒 They should honestly get paid just as much as MDs.. They save lives, just as MDs do.. Only working in much harder conditions & assisting patients before they arrive at the hospital
Absolutely heart breaking! Dear God please protect the firefighters, homeowners, animals and news personnel
Incredible footage
Misericórdia!!! O quê é isso ‼️ ‼️
Coitadinhos dos animais 😢
Enquanto isso milhões de dólares sendo desperdiçados em outros países. 😢😢😢
Should show location along the video
❤ firefighters/Californians. I think if I drove to that to start my work day, I'd just go back home. It appears that the fires are making their own weather. Very sad
Hellsinore
I live across the street from El comal in lake Elsinore, we ended up leaving due to the smoke since my 10 month old is having a hard time
God bless the Firefighters.
Thank you
The sound and sight of this raging wild fire is terrifying. Praying for calm winds and desperately needed rain 🌧 in Jesus holy name Amen 🙏 ✝️🌧
And we all talk about the heat in Las Vegas, NV... nothing compare to this inferno heat!
3:37 that wall of flames is something from a nightmare
7:23 this one too
No call no show, your fired
Crazy- my daughter lives in town of LE by 15 freeway so not super worried but also fire moves fast
Such?
Incredible footage thanks
My heart breaks to see what’s happening in my home state… stuck in Michigan right now.😢
Prayers
That fire is a living, breathing monster.
We all need to pray for rain, God bless the firefighters,give them strenght and wisdom.
WOW THIS IS JUST TOTALLY INSANE
The deer at 9:14 running away from flames then realizes the people fire crew and runs back the other direction
This is terrifying, this is where burnovers and death happens.
With wind-driven wild land fire like that, there is not much you can do. It'll jump a road or a bulldozed
firebreak. You might save a structure here and there, but basically you have to wait for that wind to die down.
OMG this is terrible! We used to take that road down to San Clemente.
This year the fires have ben really bad my thoughts and prayers go out to every one hew has lost properties and animals i hope they can get a handle on all these fires
Bless the fireman and keep them safe.
2:39 Was that a fire tornado!? This is absurd! I hope the fire fighters can get this out, safely. They need at least a raise after this. Thanks!
God bless these firefighters
Oh,God , please 🙏 protect this firearm 🙏🙏
Excellent footage
In Brazil too ,ome regions this dramatic, breathing is very difficult !
❤😢❤ Thanks for sharing a video with working is very important ❤😢❤♥️🙏♥️
