The Oak Glen and Yucaipa fires have been putting people on edge through the night and into this morning. The Yucaipa fire has caused mandatory evacuations through out the Eastern end of the Yucaipa Valley, between Willdwood Canyon Road on the south, and Oak Glen Road to the north.

Winds have picked up, with gusting up to 30 mph out of the west, pushing the flames towards more homes and a mobile home park.

Yucaipa and Calimesa schools have been closed because of bad air quality.

There are a number of resources for people to find online, the most up-to-date information for Yucaipa can be found at Rimoftheworld.net, where they are posting transcriptions of the fire crews at http://www.rimoftheworld.net/incident/7175.
