. For the time being everything is good.

I'll post up should anything happen. Where abouts do they live? I'll keep a special eye out for that area. I have to keep my eye on my aunts house anyways, they are about the middle of the valley, and i'm at the very mouth of the valley. Both fires came relatively close to me compared to the rest of the valley.

My sister lives near 1st St and Agnew St

I can see the fire from the house but its going the other way and there is a lot of people between my house and the fire so we should be all right.

Good luck to everybody close to the fires! I live in Silverado Canyon and I was evacuated for two weeks during the fires last year. Watching the new fires on the news and smelling smoke on the way to work again is really ******* with my head!

Here's a pic of my drive to work this time last year:

All the smoke/ash is been messing with everyone around here. Are there any fires left or they all out or close to it?

Anyone else hear about the chick in porter ranch who had 12k under her mattress from working 2 jobs and it all went up in flames. Stupid, if your going to have that much cash buy a flame resistant safe for a couple hundred bucks.

I was also evacuated, MANDATORY. The hill top in front of my house caught on fire so I got on my roof at 6 am and hosed it down. My cousin called me cuz he saw me on tv. I couldnt come home for 2 days. It still smells bad.

I didnt think it was going to get that close. I was scary for a minute. Grabbed whatever we could.
