SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FIRE UPDATE

Here's an update and a few more pictures of the fires. Over 2000 firefighters and 2 dozen military aircraft are working on the fires. Four fires are completely contained, 2 nearly, and 4 are shrinking.

 Impressive.

All that heavy, equipment added to the heat of the fire - - ugh. Uncle Steve said he would drink about 2 quarts of water and before he could get to the fire he would be dripping with perspiration.

 A nice tribute to the firefighters.

Taking a needed break.

Hope he can run fast!

This probably looked the the police who scooted the Rummlers from the beach! 

Keeping his roof wet (note the hose) to try and save his house.

I think McDonald's escaped! Whew!

Visibility is not so good.

  1. WHOA!! Interesting to see what's going on! Hope your heatwave ends soon. I know a few farmers who would like for you to send the heat out this way.

    Love you!
