The Santiago brush fire is still burning fiercely in the Santa Ana Mountains. The fire is still threatening nearly 750 homes in the Silverado Canyon area of Orange County and is burning toward Riverside County. The Santiago fire is 30% contained, but its threatening valuable communications equipment on Modjeska Peak. The fire is currently being fought by over a thousand fire fighters, over 100 fire engines and several aircraft.

Orange County Fire Authority officials have determined that the fire was intentionally set in two different locations along the eastern side of Santiago Canyon on Sunday. There is a $250,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the arsonist, including $100,000 offered by Los Angeles radio station KFI-AM 640.
