Crown Fire and Briggs Fire Antelope Valley

Fire season is here. It seems early, but none the less the sky is filled with smoke. I will update this post with information as I get it.

1500 homes are under evacuation in Leona Valley. One structure was fully engulfed and the fire jumped Lake Elizabeth in a few places.  For more on that click here.

Below is the information from the email I got from www.nixle.com.
