Left to right: View from our street, Flames coming
over the ridge, a water dropping helicopter,
PhosCheck drop by a fixed wing craft
On the left; Black smoke means a tree
going up in flames, then white smoke
indicating the water drop was a success.
But of course SoCal girls don't let a
little fire stop the swimming.
All pictures are clickable for a larger view
About 4:00 PM we had another
flare up. Looks like they have it
under control again.
And as the sun sets the beauty of the whole thing
