MAP! Here is the latest California Fire Map as the Station Fire (aka the La Cañada Flintridge Fire) still burns. This California Fire Map depicts the live advance of the Station Fire as blistering temperatures Sunday still do not break in the Southland. Southern California Wildfires had threatened 5,000 homes by Saturday. But by Sunday, that number in early afternoon had risen to a staggering 12,000 threatened homes. Containment percentages had yet to improve from the single digits this weekend. 3500 acres are burned in Southern California alone, with 100 engines, 20 clearance trucks and 12 water helicopters responding. Yet residents refuse to leave, causing 3 person to suffer serious burns. The Governor early Sunday warned of the threat to disobey Fire official’s instructions to evacuate – “There were three people who did not listen and they got burned because they did not listen.” Sources: http://news.la
