I live in the hills where fire is a major threat.

The day before yesterday was the hottest day at 104 so far this year.

I’ve trimmed all the brush that I can on my property but the trees are the biggest threat and you aren’t allowed to cut any of them down... So all you can really do is sweat it out...

Hang in there! I hope and pray your home will be safe.

They were able to save several hundred homes in Palos Verdes the other day because they had five helicopters with powerful night vision dropping water on the fire all night long. But there’s not that many of those copters to go around, they’re relatively new.

What would happen if some anonymous vigilante with a chain saw cut down a bunch of them late some night, but nobody heard or saw anything?
