fires everywhere

In case you don't live in Cali, have a TV, or live in a box then you might not know that we are on fire. Yes, it seems like the entire state is on fire. Two more fires started on Sunday and Monday near where we live. Sunday the Oak Glen fire started and on Monday the Pendleton fire started in Yucaipa. These two fires are burning only a few miles apart and I just hope that they don't join up!!

We went out both days to check the sites out. Don't worry we didn't get in the way of any emergency crews! We are just a little nosey and plus we had to feed Christian's recent fascination with all things fire related. :)

Here are a few pics from our outings.

This song was on the radio as we headed out, we thought it was funny!The Oak Glen fire Sunday night...it's a beast!!

Some of the air support coming in to refill.

And off again...

Sadly all the smoke makes for some beautiful sunsets. If you look closely you can see the sun rays peaking through the top.

I do kind of live in a box....I had no idea about the fires in Oak Glen and Yuciapa until my mom told me about them this morning. I hope you are all safe!

Come to AZ if you have to get away!
