The Fires

[Yurt]

I know 82nd here is from SD, not sure about anyone else, but thought I would share some personal stories I know. Anyone feel free so share.

My step dad and mom live on a hillside in La Mesa, almost got evacuated, but they were able to control the fire in time. My brother's work in grossmont was almost ordered shut down after a fire near grossmont high, but they controlled that in the nick of time. He tells me that school is still out for everyone. He has not had to evacuate because he is inland from the bare hills, i.e., in the inner burbs.

Mom took in a family of evacuees. My mom works with the woman and she and her husband just had a baby, and got evacuated, so we have a new born and a dog (on top of my mom's 4 dogs and 1 cat, well, 2 dogs and 2 yorkshire terrorists ) under one ruff.

Other than that, my family is doing good. My dad is in Manhattan Beach and actually is getting ok air. Bad at times, good at times.

In SLO, we were smoked out monday and somewhat smoked out today.
