Wednesday’s News
We are off Evacuation Alert! The crews have done an incredible job of building fire breaks and containment lines. It helped that we had a drizzle of rain again last night. It was enough to wash the cinder and ash off the car and somewhat clear the air. I can even see the mountain ridgesContinueContinue reading “Wednesday’s News”

If the fire hadn’t brokenContinueContinue reading “My July PHD Report”
