AI6YR BenAnother spot near East side of Sequoia Ave 5/19/26 1653 #SandyFire #Simi
Map of area. (Random: Sometime after midnight last night there was some kind of kerfuffle involving Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept (?) lights and sirens ordering an evacuation of Brandeis, but no such order coming from Incident Command... everything was handled by phone call. I believe that is Simi Valley PD territory, but no idea. Anyway, it sounded like a kerfuffle, no idea if evacs happened or not. ) 5/19/26 1657 #SandyFire #Simi

Darth Osler@ai6yr a grocery chain has a fire road
California is too weird to exist
@autolycos LOL I am sure there is some reason it called that, not related to the grocery store.
j-r conlinIt's just named that because it's a safe way.
Apparently named for the Albertson Ranch, and was the first east/west route in Simi Valley, per "A History of Sage Ranch, Ventura County, California" by Albert Knight, June 6, 2017
@autolycos @jrconlin Looks like some of it was briefly called the "North American Aviation Road", on the way to Rocketdyne and the nuclear power plant.
