Looks like the fire is almost out thanks to a lot of firemen and some volunteers who showed up with shovels and a backhoe while those of us who live here wet down our property. Dan went up and down the road to alert people.

We're still watching it on TV, but for now the nearest fire seems to be under control. It burned a playground and threatened a school, but no houses around here are in danger at this point. Around a hundred houses have been lost.

I'm tring to organize our precous documents so we can load them in the car in case we have to leave quickly.

I hope we can sleep tonight and there are no more fires.
