Default Fire Chasing

We went fire chasing tonight and managed to get one hill over from the raging fire. Thought I'd share a couple photos.

One year ago the fires were so darn close there was no need to go "chasing" them. October is getting to be a scary time of year here in ol' So Cal. Think we're in for a repeat?

Information only. Several of the fire deaths in San Diego Brush fires over the last 10 years are associated with Fire Chasers.

Scary stuff. One of the houses that Bill is building was right on the edge of the fire in Newport Beach yesterday, so he had a nervous afternoon keeping an eye on it.

my parents live over by where the Newport fire was. A little nerve racking for a bit.

I was supposed to go work with my father in law last night in Santa Clarita but due to the winds and fires we got the night off..... I can't work for the life of me right now!

We will be heading out to the Stater Brothers to do some plumbing work. My Father in law has their account! Only problem is we have to wait until the store is closed, otherwise dinner sounds good..
