Early this morning Wednesday October 30, 2019 wildfires now threaten the area where former President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy Reagan are laid to rest. Along with this on the museum is the Boeing 707 a former Air Force One that was used during his presidential term of office and former presidents. Despite the fire a minimal amount of staff is staying as they feel the site is still safe. Many are concerned as it edges closer in the Simi valley and being named the “Easy Fire” that was reported in the early hours of the morning of October 30, 2019

Tired Californians of so many wildfire breakouts then at times you have rolling blackouts by the power companies. Way too many fires have burned and continue to stretch fire crews thin. Many other agencies from other counties and states are assisting with what they can. Right now, as of lunch time October 30 California is under an Extreme Red Flag warning and winds whipping up to 80 mph in gusts from Santa Anna winds.
With the Getty Fire of this lunch hour October 30 we have noted that 745 acres have burned with no other information other than that is about 30 per cent contained. This fire named the Getty Fire has had parts of the 405-freeway closed with the Santa Anna winds as mentioned earlier not making it any easier. Los Angeles fire crews and other agencies from other areas are constantly working all hours to prevent further spreading of these fires and try to get under control. Weather conditions are not helping at all with the extreme red flag warning.
Many still today remember the horrific fires that spread in 2017 with major loss of property and landscaping. Its like many are living this all over again and animals are affected just as people are including people pets. We ask agencies to please send assistance and even the Red Cross will need millions of donations and help those that need the help.
