Thanks you guys!
I just wanted to let you guys know what it's like here. I cut that other post short because we had a call.
I'm in Ontario, CA, about 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles. there are fires burning to the East of us up in the Lake Arrowhead area. the header (smoke plume) is visible from about 150 miles away. It has burned over 200 homes and is moving rapidly. The Stevenson Ranch and Malibu fires are to the West. San Diego is to the south, with 4 major fires there raging. There is also a fire raging in Orange County just to the south of us. The air is tannish, yellow, orangish. It is thick with the smell of smoke that covers hundreds of square miles. It's 94 degrees here today. The wind is howling. The freeways are gridlock. We took the shoulder 4 miles to a traffic accident today. There are 6,000 firefighters and counting in the state now. Plus the day to day things we all handle in our own cities, heart attacks, traffic collisions, breathing ailments, shootings, stabbings, structure fires, grass fires, etc. are compunded because we have fewer units. We are still mopping up out large fire from Sunday and Monday.
We go through this every October, but this is one of the worst fire weeks I can remember, and I have been here since '83.
Yesterday after about 6 hours of pumping water on the fire my mind started drifting towards breakfast of eggs, fryjacks and a cold Belikin at Estel's!!
Gotta go, we're getting moved up to another location...
