How does a Forest Falls incident start out as an East end of Lake Arrowhead incident? It seemed as if there were two different incidents going on this morning, but now it appears as if it were only the one incident! Could our top-notch scanner people please elaborate? Thanks!

Likesoldstuff,

I will let the master explain it better.

I will take a stab at this,

The confusion comes from the fact that there was a report of smoke to the East of Lake Arrowhead. Distance is a funky thing. In fact, what was being seen this morning was in the Forest Falls area. So, in the alerts, you will see on the CHP CAD entry the "Lake Arrowhead" report. Notice it was transferred to the fire department with notation of being the Forest Falls area.

Gee thanks! I can't believe anyone has that kind of eyesight to see one plum of smoke from that distance, but that is because I'm getting old! Thanks for the clarification Bruce.
