[californiadisasters] "Post Fire" - Lebec 6:15 p.m.

Note: The fire which began in Lebec began near the Lebec Post Office.

UPDATE (Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2010, 6:15 a.m.)—Containment of the Post fire is now at 30 percent. The decision to keep all El Tejon Unified School District schools closed has not changed. About 650 firefighters are now on the job in the hills above Lebec and along the rugged ridges above Frazier Park, where 1,300 acres burned yesterday. Shift change is occurring at this time, with firefighters being shuttled from the Ikea warehouse area at the base of the Grapevine. No homes have been lost in Tuesday's blaze.

"ReadyKern reverse 911 alerts were used yesterday to help with the evacuations in Lebec and to give a preparedness warning in Frazier Park," Sean Collins of the Kern County Fire Department said. He urged all residents to go online to a secure site to register home, work and family cell numbers at ReadyKern.com for early alerts in the case of emergency.
