[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 676460, member: 26505"] I understand. And thank you for your concern. We are ok over here so far. I wasn't initially worried, just watchful, because we are east of the mountainside neighborhoods, but I started to get concerned yesterday when we got the voluntary evacuation notice for our district. (Embers can travel a mile and set your house on fire.) Later, it was made more specific to the mountainside area, which does not include me. I am on the far border of that district. The fire crews were working themselves to exhaustion because of this fire and have done a great job. Almost 18,000 acres so far have been affected in the Cleveland Forest and is only 5% contained. We are in a zone of convergence that is pushing the fire downhill rather than uphill, which is why all of the canyon neighborhoods are in danger. There is a suspect who has been arrested for starting the fire. He is somewhat unhinged and had made threats before the fire started. He also accused firemen of stealing his money. It isn't over, the mountains are still burning and the winds keep making the flames flare-up. [/QUOTE]
