(25,111 posts)She works in Simi Valley and her two small kids go to pre-school there. She left right before 3:00 p.m., trying to get to the 14 Freeway. Roads are backed up. Fire Trucks, Police constantly going forwards Canyon County (Tic Fire). So far the 14 is still opened but jammed.
Apparently there are 4 fires.
