Hill and Woolsey fires have area on edge

Bulldozers are being used to push cars aside that have been abandoned on the freeways and streets. The fires in Ventura and Northern Los Angeles Counties are adding insult to grievous injury for families that have just been rocked by the 12 murders in Thousand Oaks. Now they have to evacuate.

Residents have been ordered to evacuate all the way to Malibu. In fact one of our own contributors packed up his household and left.
