Four CA firefighters killed.

I hadn't been out of the office at all today, so when I left work around 5:30 I couldn't belive how strongly it smelled of smoke. I work about 120 miles from the fire, but as I got closer to home, about 70 miles from the fire, I couldn't belive it. It's so sad, this is another monster fire in California. This thing is a beast and is moving extreemly fast with the Santa Ana winds driving it.

I attached a couple of pictures taken with my cell phone on the way home. It brings back a lot of bad memories from not too long ago when the fires around here came way too close.

sigh.. dunno what say but those guys and their beloved ones are in my thoughts..

odd, after I moved out from a state to another - so many nature disasters occurred - asia waves, los angeles fire, crazy karina, buffalo snow and now this.. especially firefighters!

it has been thundering mad here more than ever.. RIP red hatties.

Because we have become so close to Fire Station 29 in the Los Angeles area and also because our Rotary club honors the Firemen each year - this hits very hard.

All I can think of are these wonderful men going out to do what they are trained to do - and being caught in the firestorm and not being able to escape.

God rest their souls...........and prayers for their families.

Arson? Oh, where does this sickness come from?

I'm so sorry.
After having been in California and having so many friends these catastrophes really come closer.

I am so sorry for the firefighters and their families

RIP brave fire fighters.

I hope they catch the idiots that started it..

I sit here with running nose, burning ang teary eyes, and difficulty breathing. I worry about the E's. Was this the objection of the arsonist????

RICHARD...I don't think mentioning arson gives them any ideas they don't already have.
