Bless all those firefighters. They are very special people.
Richard, are you okay? Stay safe. From what we're seeing, it looks terrible there.

Firefighters in CA and in BC this year - and others coming from even other countries to help both places - these men and women are a rare breed. I can think of NO job more uncomfortable, dangerous and completely exhausting, unless it is in warfare. The two are not unalike.
Bless those two men...and many many prayers for all the others that risk their lives to save others.

I am no where near the fires. I can smell the smoke and see it from my house-it's the people who live in the hills that are suffering.
I sat in the back yard an took this pics-the first 4 were taken within about 10 minutes.
A giant white cloud will appear from inside the smoke cloud, then collapse just as quickly. It's the water vapor from the fire, the particles from the smoke are too heavy to go any higher, so the water keeps going up then collapses in a matter of minutes.
The last pic is of the Erikson Sky Crane. This thing comes over the house on it's way to be gassed and have a pilot change- this chopper ROCKS IT TO THE FOUNDATION.

WOW
Today it's overcast and cooler. I haven't heard the helicopters fly by this morning.....
God sent us a monsoon weather pattern, 3600 firefighters and some slight rain!
RIght up the street they have set up the base for all the FFS.
It's like a little city with all the amenities!

Things to keep in mind when wondering why SoCal keeps burning up...we are in the third year of a drought. It has not rained since April. We are on "Mandatory Water Conservation". I know of neighbors who have received fines for watering lawns on the wrong days etc.
And it is very hot right now. So hot weather plus EXTREMELY dry conditions make it difficult. It is not just homes built unwisely in canyons that burn in these circumstances!

The sunsets take on new colors because of the smoke.

The sunsets have really been spectacular because of the smoke from the Station Fire.
I think that qualifies for an "angry sky"?
