This fire is …
This fire is especially upsetting to me. On a family trip to Los Angeles in 1998, I traveled on the Angeles Crest Highway from Pasadena to Route 39. When I was there, the snow was very deep and the road was closed beyond Route 39. It was so cool to go from the palm trees and sub-tropical vegetation in Pasadena to the alpine forest with deep snow in a very short distance. Now, the beauty of the forest on this portion of the route is gone, because of some hole arsonist.

Music? How about …
Music? How about Ramstein’s ‘Firefight’.

I remember the Angeles Crest fire in 1959 in the same area. It scared me to death and came very close to our house on Day St in Tujunga. As kids, we hiked to the top of Mt. Lukens in the vid many times. I feel sorry for the people who lost homes and would like to waterboard the losers who started this fire.

Reasonable …
Reasonable explanation. I do live in another part of the country. My thought is though these reporters act like it every fire has always been called a “station fire”

Here’s another …
Here’s another thought. Wildfires are a typical problem here. Many of them never grow to a large size, but many of them are “named” so we can keep track of them. Once they’re huge, the name rarely reflects the location/nature of it any longer.

Even the Northridge earthquake of ‘94 is mis-named. The tremblor actually happened in Reseda, but Northridge stuck because it’s better known. Oops… maybe THAT was the media’s fault.

Yes, I see your …
Yes, I see your point that the name of the fire doesn’t mean a lot. I also agree that there are serious problems with the media. However, I think you would be in error to pin the oddness of the name on them. These natural disasters are typically named by the agency who initially responds to the problem, which in this case would have either been the LA County Fire Department or the US Forest Service. Perhaps you live in another part of the country… we kind of get used to these odd names.

Sincere thanks for …
Sincere thanks for answering the question DR Bill. So now when a fire is started next to a pool it is a pool fire or if it is started next to a latrine it is a latrine fire. Doesn’t what I said at the outset make sense? Why doesn’t people question “station fire” Why is it the media grabs on something and creates a “station fire” ? Why isn’t it a fire or a forest fire? What mindless dribble. Station fire! Road fire. Park fire. Camp fire. Do you see the point people. The media are like parrots
