Is there any detail interactive (zoom/pan capability) map of the fires location on the net?

My cousin lives in SD. His daughter and two of his sister-in-laws have evacuated to his home which is 5 miles away from the fire.

Since I am not familiar with SD, the map above is not helpful for me. I am sure someone has created a Google map compatible fire map. I just need to find it.

hey guys, thanks for your concern!

We're about 5 miles west of where the fire is. We got an advisory evacuation call from the emergency sevices office, but not mandatory yet. It means: pack your stuff and be prepared to evacuate when and if necessary in a moments notice. I've seen a lot of wild fires in SD, but this is by far the worst. Though we don't have fire here, my car is covered with ash, and the smoke is so thick that I can't see very far up the street. But our problems are insignificant compared to those who are at or near the center of it all. Our prayers are with everyone who has been affected as many many homes have already been destroyed. My home will be open to anyone who needs it. We're going to evacuate voluntareely anyway, and go stay at relatives.

I am very concerned about Bijan. Both his home as well as his business are very close to those fires, and those areas have already been fully evacuated. Bijan jAn, I hope all will end well my friend. Keep us informed please.

Good to hear from you, eshghi jaan. I hope the best for Bijan and anyone else in harm way.

Is the north bound roads open? Where people can go if the situation gets worse? You cannot go west.

Quarter of million people have already evacuated. It is getting very smoky everywhere.

San Diego has been very dry this past year. Not much rain.

Who is Lilly Lawrence the owner of Castle Kashan which was destroyed in fire? I know she is the daughter of a famous Iranian but don't know who.
