Been out doing some field work and found these Windy Ridge Fire updates had come over the transom this afternoon. This is from the OC Harbors, Beaches and Parks Department:
Effective immediately
County’s Santiago Oaks Regional Park is closed due to the Windy Ridge Fire.
The Park will remain closed until further notice. For information please contact Ms. Wida Karim at (714) 973-6870.
And this from the Transportation Corridor Agencies:
TCA has been monitoring the Windy Ridge fire and wanted to provide an update on the fire’s impact on revenue and operations. The fire began in a vehicle that had been driven down a ravine on the southbound side of the 241. As the fire spread, the southbound 241 was closed near the Windy Ridge toll plaza from about 11 a.m. Sunday morning until 4:30 a.m. Monday. Throughout the day on Monday, TCA staff and system consultants have been cooperating with the arson investigation.
• Based on preliminary data, TCA estimates a loss of about $62,000.
• Average Sunday traffic on the southbound 241 at Windy Ridge:
5-6 a.m. -- 93 vehicles
6-7 a.m. -- 173 vehicles
