I beg to differ; Sycamore Canyon fire, 1977; I got an up close and personal look at that one as a kid before the fire caused my parents to drive us out to the local Y to spend the night.
Are you in the area? Some friends had to evacuate but got word yesterday they could go home. They were very relieved. They had very little time to get stuff gathered up and no way to get all they wanted to take.
“Haven’t had a fire since 1932”.
You better pray, and know for a fact you have my prayers.
Fought wildland fires down there when I was a kid with the USFS Chilao Hotshots, I still remember vividly when the upper Big Tujunga exploded.
The only thing that kept going through our minds was the El Cariso Hotshots.
But we kept cutting line.
