Wildfires in the Angeles National Forest

IMG_1224

Unfortunately, this has been the view from my downtown balcony for the past week.  This photo was taken last Saturday morning at the beginning of the fire, when the smoke was at 20,000 feet up in the air and only 5% contained (according to KROQ).  It’s grown a lot over the last week, but current reports are that it’s being pushed back gradually.  My friend in Altadena mentioned that 2 blocks from his house has been evacuated already, but he hasn’t been notified of any evacuations for his place.

At night I can see the actual fire blazing on the ridge.  Makes it look like a volcano going off in the distance.

I’m getting out of town this weekend, but I wish the best to all those who are fighting the fires and anybody who has been affected by it.
