STUDZ Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 This Wednesday sparked yet another wildfire in California, this time in the Carlsbad area. This place is known for one thing in particular: LEGOLAND California. Now don't worry, the park hasn't gone up in flames just yet. Turns out that about 15,000 people were ordered to evacuate their homes, and the LEGOLAND park officials had to shut down LEGOLAND this Wednesday as well. Other damage and shutdowns in the Carlsbad area include Cal State San Marcos (a county college of 10,000) and Camp Pendleton (a Marine Corps base) closing down along with LEGOLAND. As well, 30 homes have been burned in the fire so far, and two firefighters have been injured: One due to heat, and the other from smoke inhalation.

Shadowblaze Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Well, dang, let's hope for the best. Is anyone here on RRU from that zone? Oh, and that last tag got chopped a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaborgium Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Normally those fires are up in my area, about fifty miles from LA, not down in Carlsbad. Since the weather is really hot dry and windy, it doesn't surprise me that it spread so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 When I read the title, I thought LEGOLAND was shutting down because they fired too many employees. Well, this is unfortunate to hear anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben24x7 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well, at least LEGOLAND California hasn't closed down permanently. Now THAT would be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaborgium Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I remember when Ole Kirk's place kept lighting on fire Holy crap, how old are you?! He is ancient. He hides among us. Waiting... waiting... waiting for a chance to seize control of the earth again. Notice how the only things he hasn't filled out on his profile are his birthday and age? Happenstance ? Methinks not. EDIT Unrelated to my theory about MaelstromIslander, apparently the fires were caused by some skilled arsonists. Oh course if MaelstromIslander is an ancient evil (think Cthulhu, or Fenric) then this edit may not be entirely unrelated to my theory. After all, he is hiding in the shadows, seeking to cause chaos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
