“Serious fires are caused by Fire + Santa Ana winds. Santa Ana winds ALWAYS blow in a westerly direction. Maybe west by northwest or west by southwest or directly west but NEVER north, south, or east. This is a simple fact of the phenomena that creates the Santa Anas a high pressure zone over Las Vegas or Utah to the east.”
You may be correct that 4S is somewhat protected.
However, fires move out in a cone,primarily to the west, but this cone can approach as much as 180 degrees. An example is the witch fire. (see diagram below).
Also, Santa Ana winds always end with a reversal to the normal on-shore flow. Although this cooler and less velocity wind reduces the threat of fires, the change-over period can cause erratic movement of fires in various directions. AT that point the direction of the fire is influenced by the availability of fuel as much as the wind.

Yeah, fires always burn to the west, you can’t get pregnant the first time, and real estate always goes up.

October 24, 2007 at 8:21 PM #91566crParticipantThe housing “experts” will use the fire as an excuse as to why housing continues to plummet in the forth-coming months.
Here in LA people blamed the Northridge quake in 1994 (near the middle of the last downturn) for continued price decreases even though that had been falling for 5 years.
I don’t see why this will be any different.
