Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning firefighters responded to multiple fires near Interstate 5 in the Grapevine area north of Los Angeles. The Grape Fire on Friday was mapped at 19 acres, according to @barkflight. Then at about 4 a.m. Saturday firefighters responded to the Plant Fire close to the freeway. @CAFireScanner noted that Engine 345 reported there were three separate fires on the west side of I-5 that would likely burn together, and then merge with the earlier Grape Fire.
At 7:33 a.m. PDT the Grapevine 2 AlertWildfire camera showed very little activity on the Plant Fire.
Judging from the video below the fire was very active in the predawn hours.

A photo of a condor was grabbed by the AlertWildfire camera.
Bill, thanks for including Condor 76 in the mix. The image reminds me of me sitting up here looking for smokes.⚡️???
Is the drive down the grapevine safe now?
Dick: don’t forget Wolf Man Jack!!! We tuned into his radio station every night after marking timber all day.
I remember Wolf Man Jack. I remember watching him on Fridays…I think I was like 4! :-p
“You KNOW what I like!” And Red Blanchard.
To Emmet: who ever said a pyro was smart!?
Pffft. Throw all 27 VLATS at it!
Bill, it’s amazing how you get on top of the wildfire information so promptly. I’m sure you have many ways to acquire the info, but I bet in this case you probably heard it through the grapevine!
Walt – you must be as old as me! Your comment took me back to my sorted youth in the ’60s, listening to Marvin Gaye on the AM radio in my beat-up 56 Chev step-side pickup .
Good one, Walt! ?
I still remember EC hotshot Willy Garner during R&R in Olympia Washington, standing on that bar room stage, playing elelectric guitar and singing that song while Ron Campbell cheered him on. Simpler times!
Safety Harbor Fire or Gold Ridge
After 50+ years, those fires are just hazy blurs of a memory.
Smells and looks like a possible arsonist.
absolutely no question this a series of set events
On Wednesday I was coming from the Pilot/Flying J in Frazier Park and noticed the grass on the shoulder on the onramp to I-5 was ablaze. Called the fire department. I agree. Someone is setting these.
