We are keeping a close watch on the fire that started on Tuesday over on the ridge across the way. Today we have helicopters and the bombers flying overhead and fire fighters from all over up here in the mountains to help out. We are not directly threatened right now but they did put our little community under a mandatory evacuation. Most of our neighbors are still here, but they told us that if we leave our house to go down town we may not be able to return...so we are staying put for now. We have met many new neighbors as they come over to our road to get a better view of the fire. At night it casts a strange orange glow and we saw 3 power transformers blow up and then our power was off for several hours. I do hope that they can get the fire under control soon and no homes are damaged.
