Rancho Palos Verdes Fire Oct. 7th 2008

Around 9am in the morning of October 7th I walked outside to our patio and smelt smoke. Then I remembered hearing on the news about a lumber yard burning down in LA and also seeing the plume of smoke from it earlier and thought that was what I was smelling. It was warming up and the sun was out so I thought I would take a short cruise on my motorcycle I rode out onto Crenshaw and immediately saw smoke on the hill across the boulevard and a hive of activity with police cars zooming around. I quickly turned around back to home parked the bike grabbed my camera and jumped on my mountain bike and headed for the action. The following are the pictures I captured in the next hour.

  • Only just before I left the house we had a short power cut that was enough to shut down my computer. This electrical pole on Indian Peak was the likely cause of the fires start. Sparks from perhaps a blown fusible link?
