It's right on the border of Camp Pendleton Marine base so likely you are going to see marine helicopters with night vision scopes going in at night to rescue people and possibly even to drop water (not sure about the 2nd idea). I saw TV footage of all the mobile homes burning and several houses on fire or already burned It is crossing Hiway 76 right now in several places and it is closed in both directions. People you can see evacuating with their pets as best they can out of the areas on fire right now, and race horses worth 500,000 dollars are more have been released onto the roads (about 50 or 60 race horses and a man was kicked in the chest while they were being released and is injured already from this release of race horses from San Luis Rey Traning center near Lilac Rd in Fallbrook.
If you aren't familiar with this area, Fallbrook is in north San Diego County near Escondido, it is also to the East of Oceanside and Camp Pendleton Marine base here in Southern California.
Actually I'm counting about 40 mobile homes completely destroyed at Rancho Monserate Country Club from a helicopter shot right now with at least 10 units completely engulfed in flames and more likely will be burning soon. This was taken about 4:17pm.

Because of flying embers from things like Palm Trees especially the fire has already moved into Oceanside next to Camp Pendleton Marine Base. So, people now are being evacuated from Eastern Oceanside already. I suppose it is possible that this fire might go all the way to the ocean at this point because of extremely low humidity, no rain and high Santa Ana Winds moving Westward at that point.
