Fire season is here
Fire season is here early this year. This is the view from the front yard, of the Station Fire, burning up in Big Tujunga canyon area. Which looks a whole lot closer than it really is...its probably 20 miles from where we are...but the smoke is awful with this fire, the clear blue sky on the edges is the first blue sky we've seen in two days, mostly its been as overcast as cloudy day, with heat of up to 107 degrees. Ash has been slowly drifting down for a couple of days, the skylight on the roof is black with it, the cars are covered and the pool has a lovely scummy layer of floating soot and ash. It's hot, it's smoky, but we're a lot better off than many, I can't even imagine being a firefighter in full gear working on this fire, and I've got a pretty good imagination.

Good grief! I think I'll take the non-existant summer and winter snow!
Be careful and stay safe.

It may be 20 miles away but it looks pretty scary to me!
It must be awful for people to live in fear of these fires each year. Just terrible; stay safe!
That is so scary. I bet that's really rough for people with respiratory problems.
i lived in san fernando valley for almost 10 yrs.. california always tries to make it hard to stay there! Fires, Mudslides, earthquakes oh my!
Stay safe! If you do see a fireman, please send a thanks from a girl here in Michigan. I am amazed and thankful for all they do, no matter where they are located!
