Among the other musicians from San Diego and the areas in Southern California thought to be affected by the fire are Angels and Airwaves/ Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, the members of P.O.D., Jewel, Dave Mustaine, As I Lay Dying, Augustana, Jason Mraz, Louis XIV and former members of Rocket From the Crypt. (MTV News could not reach all of the above artists to check on their status.)

DeLonge's former Blink bandmate, Mark Hoppus of (+44), now lives in Los Angeles but said his sister, grandmother, mother and stepfather were all evacuated. "My mom and sister and grandma were some of the first evacuees and they went as far as they could, to Oceanside, which is 45 minutes away. They stayed in a hotel there and watched it happen," Hoppus said — adding that just days after his family fled to the hotel, it almost burned down when the fire caught up with them again.
