The Mashup contains the interactive KPBS Google fire map, a constantly updating news stream and blog (from KPBS, the Los Angeles Times, and The Union Tribune), as well as up to the minute Flickr user photographs, and Youtube streaming videos of the fire.

We hope it is of use the our fellow residents. Take good care San Diego.
