When it was close to home, yeah.
The ones going on right now we were just seeing from a distance, when we were high enough to see over the near foothills to the ones behind them where the flames were just barely over the ridge. Still, for the valley, that's pretty darn close. Reminds me of the fires in the hills around Chatsworth back in the early 90's. |
A new fire started up in Oak Glen. Here are some pictures we took:

Oh no!

Where is Oak Glen?
The only fire I can find info about is the Station fire, that it is heading towards Acton and Santa Clarita. |
Latest news I heard was that firefighters were abandoning Mt Wilson and the observatory along with a bunch of TV/radio transmitters are in danger. There's a lot of history up there.:(

I'm continually in awe at the terrain that they do fight for- that's some rough territory and they're right in it, digging and fighting the fires. So I guess I'm not surprised when they do have to abandon something.
Sad, but not surprised. |

This site (Cal Fire)
is a good resource. They have info on the Oak Glenn fire and all the others. Quote:

Sad about the firefighters.
BTD's link led me to the cause of the Gloria Fire, Agricultural Fireworks. You learn something new every day. |
