Reminder from:   californiadisasters Yahoo! Group
 
Title:   1966 Loop Fire
 
Date:   Tuesday November 1, 2011
Time:   12:00 pm - 12:00 pm
Repeats:   This event repeats every year.
Location:   Los Angeles County - Angeles National Forest
Notes:   On this date in 1966 the El Cariso Hotshots were fighting a
Santa Ana Wind-driven wildfire in the foothills above San Fernando in Pacoima Canyon.

A spot fire developed below them as they worked mid-slope with no safety zone and they were quickly enveloped in a blow-up situation.

Ten hotshots were killed at the scene and two others later died of their burns and most of the remaining 19 members were critically burned.
