We have a wildfire burning 10 miles east of my location. Fire started near the NE border of the Orange and Riverside counties in the Sierra Peak location. My area isnt threatened, but some evacuation warnings are in effect for the neighborhoods a few miles to the E and NE.

As of now (6:40PM PST) there is no word of containment. Temp today was high 70's, zero humidity and 35mph gusts in the canyon areas near the fire.

An hour ago, a Sikorski Skycrane zoomed over my neighborhood at 500 ft. WOW!!!!!!!!!! the downwash from that bugger is terrific.

We got a bunch of fly ash around here this morning, but the winds shifted around noon and its being depositied to the NW.

Ah, nothing like the orange glow sunlight. Is it getting any better there, syscom? I heard this morning we have one off the 118 at Rocky Peak, sounds like they are getting it under control. There is another on Malibu Canyon near Piuma. I can see it from here at work.

Geez, it's not even fire season! We have had very little rain this winter so far. When the real fire seaon comes, we could be in some real trouble.
