3:37 pm
going to create. reporting live, bryan callahan, 13 action news. >> thank you, brian. i want to talk about the traffic situation right now. because we are talking about a complete closure of the 15, in both directions. closed actually different spots. northbound at kenwood, southbound at ranchero. the closure is between the fire burning right now in the cajon pass and bar stow. the problem are talking about a closure, cars are going to be stuck on the freeway, and just about a year ago last july, we saw 64 cars completely burned because of the cajon fire pass. that was last july. again, just not just 64 cars, we have 7 homes burning, all because of a 7-square mile fire. just to give you a little bit of perspective. that's about 1,000 acres less than the fire we are already seeing burden of proofing right now.
3:38 pm
people being stuck in traffic. we're talking about a serious danger. following our abc7, our station, sister station in l.a., we're already seeing the fire skipping the 15 in certain areas, this is very, very dangerous right now. if you can avoid the 15, i absolutely would, and we are seeing just about 100,000 people in town right now for the magic market fashion industry, a big show in town. lots of people coming in town, and leaving around this time. it is closing in on rh if you can avoid the 15, i absolutely would. a live look on the 15 in nevada, this is right near gene, not a lot of cars on the road. but everything is okay right in town right now. there's a live look in prince, things are okay. but, again, if you can avoid the 15 out in toward california, you absolutely want to. 3:38 now, switch gears, bryan, to you.
