(CNN)More than 100,000 people are under mandatory evacuation orders from
the wildfires in Southern California, where two fires are burning out of
control.
As Ed Pascasio fled from the Silverado Fire Monday afternoon with his
wife, niece and sister-in-law, he watched embers flying toward their
neighborhood.
"The sky was orange, kind of like doomsday," he said. "I've never seen it
change dramatically that fast."
The Silverado Fire and Blue Ridge Fire are both burning in Orange County,
California, and have quickly grown to scorch more than 10,000 acres
collectively. The Silverado Fire quadrupled in size Monday.
The cars packed on main roads -- filled with fleeing residents --
resembled a movie scene, Pascasio said.
"A lot of neighbors were leaving at the same time. Everyone was shocked by
the speed of it all," he said.
This has been a devastating year for fires. At least 8,000 fire incidents
reported by Cal Fire have burned a record 4 million acres and claimed the
lives of 31 people this year so far. And dry, windy conditions have
prompted power shutoffs to prevent more.
Power line may have ignited Silverado Fire
Southern California Edison said a power line may have played a role in
igniting the Silverado Fire, which has burned 7,200 acres near Irvine,
according to a report filed with California Public Utilities Commission.
The initial safety incident report describes overhead electrical
facilities in the area where authorities think the fire started but notes
no activity on the circuit.
"...(It) appears that a lashing wire attached to a telecommunications line
may have contacted SCE's power line above it, possibly starting the fire,"
SCE spokesman Chris Abel told CNN.
Between the fires roaring in Southern California and dry, windy conditions
prompting red flag warnings in Northern California, power companies have
enacted Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).
Nearly 320,000 customers were without power Monday evening, according to
PowerOutage.US.
The bulk of the customers are managed by Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(PG&E) for Northern California and Southern California Edison.
Two firefighters suffer burns
Fire officials said 700 people are battling the two fires, and on Monday
two of them were critically injured.
The men suffered second- and third-degree burns while battling the
Silverado Fire near Irvine, Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian
Fennessy told reporters.
Fennessy visited the injured firefighters in the emergency room, but was
unable to talk with the firefighters, as each is intubated.
"Our firefighters are some of the bravest in the world. This is a very
hazardous job," Fennessy said.
The men, ages 26 and 31, are part of Orange County Fire Authority's ground
crew. Their names haven't been released. The team uses hand tools to stop
wildfire flames from progressing, much like hotshots.
CNN's Sarah Moon, Amir Vera, Joe Sutton, Eric Levenson, Stella Chan and
Cheri Mossburg contributed to this report.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.
Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."

That's karma
NEW TWITTER RULES FORBID ANY BIDEN CORRUPTION OR ME-TOO SEXUAL ABUSE
STORY FROM EVER BEING POSTED unless they have verified evidence proving
their case. Which would also include all conspiracy theories that have
no proof, and that are supposed to clear someone of a crime.
