Palomar update:
Quote:
October 25, 2007
The top of Palomar Mountain hasn't burned in recorded history...that still holds true...when winds pushed the fire toward the top of the mountain yesterday morning...members of the Palomar Mountain Volunteer Fire Department forced back the flames. Air tankers repeatedly dropped fire retardant on the mountain's north and east faces...Ground crews raced to douse the flames that tankers missed...The danger is not over yet, however. Winds and embers are unpredictable...A lifelong resident of Palomar and head electrician for the observatory, Steve Einer said the volunteers were doing a tremendous job...
