Updated: 10/28/2007 at 12:00 PM
The fire suppression efforts on the Santiago Fire continue. The firefighters are making great progress. There was no movement of the fire over night and the weather continues to cooperate with the effort. You may see air craft supporting the effort and there will continue to be smoke that may be visible for the next several days. Please don?t be alarmed by this activity. There is no direct or imminent threat to the City of Corona. The Corona Fire Department remains committed to the firefighting effort and are directly involved in supporting that effort to protect our community.

Santiago Fire Update
Updated: 10/26/2007 at 2:00 PM
The City of Corona is continuing in its efforts to keep the residents informed on the current situation of the Santiago Fire in Orange County. The Corona Fire Department is working closely with Regional Fire Officials to provide everyone with updated information as it becomes available. Today you may see a significant amount of firefighting resources moving towards the east side of the fire including firefighting aircraft in efforts to hold the fire at the County line.


The Santiago Fire does not pose an immediate danger to Corona, specifically the resident's of the Eagle Glen area. In the event that conditions change the fire department will inform citizens of the potential impacts and the appropriate actions to take.


The Fire Department continues to remind our citizens that they should always have their own family emergency evacuation plan and preparedness kit for any emergency.


For updated information throughout the weekend, the Hotline number will continue to be staffed by personnel to keep everyone in the City of Corona informed on any changes in the current status in the progress of the Santiago Fire.


The number is (951) 817-5800. Additionally, anyone living outside the boundaries of the city, in the Riverside County area, may obtain information by calling (951) 940-6985 or 211 for Riverside County Residents.


Both the Corona Fire and Police Department's will be deploying additional staff over the weekend in the Eagle Glen area of Corona.


A Town Hall Meeting will take place on October 26, 2007 at 4:00PM at the Temescal Valley Elementary School located at 22950 Claystone Ave., Corona 92883. This informational meeting is being held as a service to citizens living in the affected area of fire activity in Orange County.
We will keep this updated as things develop.
God Bless,
Robert & Christy
