Needless to say tonight's post is not the original one I was intending to post! In short, there is a fire in the sage brush hills behind my home. Here are some pictures. I am going to try and get the film clip to work too. (Kristin...I wish I was a bit more artistic in my pyro-photography!)
Note that the house isn't on fire! It is the hill behind the house that is aflame! The perspective is all off!
This last picture unfortunately doesn't show the detail, but the the little "swishy" in the sky is a helicopter dropping retardant/water at night. I have never seen a fire 'copter' do this except when they drill in the summer.
We got a false call to evacuate around 7:00pm. It ended up being a miscommunication. It turns out we heard the Police's bullhorn from several streets up. Whew (though it still is a bit close!)! I have to say that I dread the very idea of putting ALL of my quick-packing back into my room tomorrow. Then again, it doesn't seem so nasty of a job considering that I still have a house to put them in! God is kind.
