its really not as bad as the media would lead you to believe, provided you don't live in the area that's on fire. the fire crews here really are amazing at what they do.

Thanks Jerry, it rained a little last night so that should help. I could see smoke from three fires a couple of days ago, but that is down to one now. Gordo is the closest to a fire that I know about but they are getting a handle on that one. I do have a couple of 64 Cadillacs stored at a buddy's property very close to the Apex fire so I'm a little worried about those.
As Dan says though the crews are doing a good job, and I can handle my house getting buzzed all day by tankers. My own private air show.

I got freaked out when last night I saw on the news that 2500 homes had to be evacuated , more areas of high concern to be next , people with no where to go , only minutes to get out , that was enough to get me concerned .
Thanxs for checkin in , way to many good guys up there !!

Enjoy the air show and yes those fire crews are amazing , thanxs to all of them .

The Fire Crews and Air tankers here are doing an amazing job. The fire crews are working around the clock. Looks like they have almost got it beat. As long as the weather stays cool for a few days. I never had to evacuate this fire, but the fire five years ago came within 10 feet of my property.
