Notes
At about this time in 2008 a fire began along the 91 (Riverside)Freeway in the bed of the Santa Ana River in Corona. Fanned by powerful Santa Ana Winds it pushed into parts of Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills, Brea, Chino Hills, and Diamond Bar burning almost all of Chino Hills State Park. Later on that day a second fire would start in Brea and pushed by the strong Santa Ana Winds would jump the 57 (Orange) Freeway and eventually join up with the first fire to form the Freeway Complex. All told the Freeway Complex charred 30,305 acres and 314 residences were damaged or destroyed. This was the 4th largest fire in Orange County history.
