Fire! Road closed

Fire broke out along Glendora Mountain Road ignited by an over the side vehicle.

Matt had an upfront and personal view of the fire.



Matt escorted by emergency personnel had a unique view of the scene.


Hearing from Matt that the road was closed, John and I ventured down to East Fork to meet up Bill. GMR closed at the fork at 11:36 am



Glendora Police were keeping vehicles off the road at Sierra Madre 12:38 pm.




All traffic was rerouted.

    Good Work.
    I knew something was up when a fixed wing bomber buzzed my house. "Cripes, what was THAT?"
    Spent the next 20 minutes atop my roof wonder what and where all this was taking place.

    Re-Opening the road might be awhile. Thanks for the update.

    With the fire season in full swing, I may need to find refuge in the North and conquer your mountain Mt. Diablo. If you are ever in southern california let me know!
