California Fires

I've had several people ask where we are in conjunction to the fires here in CA. Fortunately, we are no where near the most devastating fires in San Diego. The Sedwick fire that was burning in Santa Ynez was closest to us and thankfully only 700 acres burned. We could smell the fire here on the base as well as see the haze the smoke created. The air quality has been bad so for the past few days we were told it was best to keep our doors and windows shut and stay indoors as much as possible.

They have arrested a suspect in one of the San Diego fires...they believe two of them were caused by arson. I just cannot believe a lot of this devastation was caused by some sick person/people. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families who have been effected by the fires.

If this works, here is a link to all of the fires that are burning down here. You'll have to scroll up to see the Sedwick fire in Santa Ynez.
