Here we go again.
I woke up on Sunday morning with the smell of smoke thick in the air.
This was about 0400 in the A.M.! I saw the smoke coming off of the hills to the northeast and saw a red glow coming off of the smoke.
The rest of the day you could see and smell the fires-
THe winds pick up in the early morning and and late afternoon and drives it into the valley. It's almost 6 a.m. and the smell is heavy in the air.

The Sylmar fire is about 6 miles away and the Porter Ranch fire is 10- We are almost directly in between both blazes.
The heliport on the other side of the small airport will start to buzz-as a matter of fact I hear the copter engines spooling up at the moment-the L.A. County Fire Helicopters will start the daylight air operations soon.
THere is nothing like having a Firehawk (UH-60) fly over the house at 0330-it's a bird! It's an earthquake! No, It's a monster helicopter!!!
Pray for the firefighters!:eek:
