The fire was basically contained to several blocks, as the plane crashed like a arrow and did not belly flop thru the neighborhoods. That actually saved many more streets and homes from becoming an inferno. The fire was contained very fast. I could not get home that day because of all the wreckage and bodies were everywhere. The pilot was trying to crash on the freeway but didn't make it, or so we were told. Now the area is all condos and apts, you would never know what happened there unless someone told you, which I imagine many find out after they move there. I have seen these fires burn in San Diego itself before, I remember being in Mission Valley and watching all the homes along the hillsides in Normal Heights going up in flames in the 80's. These fires can make it into the city itself but I feel that will not happen and is unlikely at least at this time.
I remember my grandma tellin me about this, she saw the whole crash from her backyard

Not all of SoCal, the article was about SD County. When 350,000 people evacuated in the county, they added that there was an average of 2.6 people per household which would add up to 910,000. This was on Yahoo's front page, and after Sassberto replied, it changed to the correct number.
