I went to work this morning and the fire was burning right behind our plant. Came back in from the desert and man that thing is really blazing. Also heard there were two firefighters killed and two others are in critical. Burning toward the Twin Pines area. Passed by the Banning Airport on my way home and saw 4 to 5 copters and also saw that Apache copter sitting there.

FEMA AUTHORIZES FUNDS TO HELP CALIFORNIA FIGHT ESPARANZA FIRE
OAKLAND, Ca – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), today authorized the use of federal funds to help California fight the Esparanza fire burning in Riverside County.
FEMA Region IX Director Nancy Ward said the state’s request for federal fire management assistance was approved after it was confirmed the Esperanza wildfire drove 200 people from their homes Thursday morning as it raced through the desert hills northwest of Palm Springs. The blaze burned more than 1,000 acres by midmorning, and 25 mph winds were quickly spreading the flames. The Soboba Native American Reservation is evacuating their casino. About 200 people left their homes when mandatory evacuations were ordered.
"It's critical that the men and women who selflessly battle wildfires know they will continue to have the support of the federal government. This declaration is one demonstration of that support," FEMA Director David R. Paulison said. “Our hearts go out to the firefighters killed and injured and their families.”
The authorization makes FEMA funding available to pay 75 percent of the state’s eligible firefighting costs under an approved grant for managing, mitigating and controlling designated fires.
Federal fire management assistance is provided through the President’s Disaster Relief Fund and made available by FEMA to assist in fighting fires that threaten to cause a major disaster. Eligible state firefighting costs covered by the aid must first meet a minimum threshold for costs before assistance is provided. Eligible costs covered by the aid can include expenses for field camps; equipment use, repair and replacement; tools, materials and supplies; and mobilization and demobilization activities.
