You can see both how dry the meadow is and how it was mowed short in the photograph where the fire truck is crossing the field. That kind of maintenace is crucial to preventing property damage and loss of life.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-18182235723631661212008-07-07T12:05:00.000-07:002008-07-07T12:05:00.000-07:00Lydia, As one who has lived in this area for well ...Lydia, As one who has lived in this area for well over 30 years the locations of photos were very familiar to me. Were these pictures you took? Great shots! as well as descriptions of this area. Our papers ran a small blurb, but you reported what you saw and again gave credit to the personnel who serve us during fire season. Heroes all.

Great job ...Good job on your 'Sky is Falling' blog! Great job with the pictures too. You are so right about the breeze not turning to wind. What a frightening thought, knowing what so many in your state are going through and what happened in southern Orange County, the San Diego area last year, and up in the Santa Clarita area. My tree covered property backs to the BLM and this time of year when we have those lovely thunder storms, I worry like mad about lightening strikes. I'm happy for all of you everything turned out ok, no property damage and no lives lost! Hurray for our Public Safety heroes! <BR/> <BR/>xo SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-76277822852037368112008-07-07T07:44:00.000-07:002008-07-07T07:44:00.000-07:00Good to hear you are safe and your home is sound.Good to hear you are safe and your home is sound.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-60200629474232459072008-07-06T23:20:00.000-07:002008-07-06T23:20:00.000-07:00Lydia,That was lovely!

This morning there were articles about this in several newspapers. I posted in "Comments" in each. This is what I wrote:<BR/>Our house is near the end of the cul de sac just before getting to the hills that were on fire yesterday! We watched and prayed! A firetruck came up our street and entered into the wilderness onto the fire road at the end of our street.<BR/>As we stood on our observation deck and watched the smoke and flames we were silently sending thanks to those hard working, wonderful firefighters, police, helicopter pilots and the convicts who were fighting it!<BR/>This morning they are still there fighting the hot spot flare ups.<BR/>We want to now publically thank the wonderful people who were there to fight it and save all our homes!<BR/><BR/>The Bowler FamilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
