[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another Claremont College parent here. Thanks to those offering sane input. Claremont is downhill and south of the fire, so it'd require unusual north winds (uncommon) to push the fire south, downhill, [b]through the couple miles of residential neighborhoods[/b], and toward campus. FWIW, I just texted my kid. The fire is visible from campus but there's no smoke (southwest winds) and classes haven't been cancelled. [/quote] I think it's [b]this[/b] that people don't understand. The fire spreads faster in areas with trees and ground brush and where there are few hydrants to use to provide water. The neighborhoods closest to edge of the wilderness are also in danger from errant ashes....but it is progressively safer for each block of paved grid neighborhoods as you move away from the base of the wilderness.[/quote]
