Arby’s Burned Overnight
It was still dark as night when the fire jumped the 101 highway heading towards a commercial area, a trailer park, and more neighborhoods on the other side. Arby’s didn’t stand a chance and burned overnight. The fires were happening so quickly that no one was warned and there was not yet a presence of responders to the disaster.
By the end of the day Monday, 266,000 gallons of fire retardant from a Sacramento air base was dropped from aircraft on the fires. Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott reported that firefighters flew 45 missions Monday, and had 4,000 personnel deployed.
The shopping center continued to burn.
