Yes, thre have been many articles in the paper about the fire risk up there recently. Apparently it is NOT the property owners in the moutains that caused this but the public lands that were not cared for properly.

The irony is that the bro in law has been complaining about the high cost of cutting down those trees and the fierce-ness of the authorities that it be done! Lots of folks up there are retired seniors and it's been a heavy expense but the trees MUST be cut down.....no excuses!!!

Continued prayers for all in harm's way.
