Fire

This is a picture taken from my High School in La Crescenta CA. My parents and brother's family are far from the lines of fire and safe. But many close friends have been evacuated and are scared for their homes! Luckily they have kept tragedy at bay for many- but 2 firemen lost their lives and some homes have been destroyed. The last I heard it is burning 85,000 acres- that's 150 square miles and it's only 5% contained. In southern Cali, forest is hard to come by so it's hard for me to imagine what this must be like. This picture is apparently as close as it has gotten and its now heading back up the mountain.

Our prayers and thoughts today are with the families and firefighters in La Crescenta and the surrounding towns.
