Glen Helen Fire!

There has been alot of talk on the news about the Oak Glen/ Yuciapa Fires. Just wanted to give an update from us since we live in Yuciapa. First off, the fires are to far away from us that we have no reason to worry. However we can smell the smoke and we can see the flames. Many people have been asked to leave, and they are all staying at the Yuciapa Fitness center. This morning Nikki and I took a drive to the regional park which is right next to the fitness center. What we saw was very uplifting!

The Firemen are staying at the regional park. All the people who are worried about there homes are standing outside the entrance cheering on the fireman as they come and go! Here is a shoot of just a few of the people!

As we stood there, about 4 of these kept flying over head picking up water from the park and dumping it on the fire.

This is the view of the smoke from the regional park. The fire is 45% contained at this point.

And there was a special guest!

So that is what we have seen so far with the fire. We will let you know as more develops!
