Yeah, these California brushfires can be terrifying when they’re close. We had two near me last year, maybe six miles to the east. I could see smoke from the one in the pic this morning and I’m at least 50 miles away. Probably a lot more.

Even when you are miles away you aren’t safe- hot embers will get carried by the wind and land on your roof, in your trees... if they get sucked into your attic vents you’re in huge trouble.

“if they get sucked into your attic vents you’re in huge trouble.”

Good Lord.I never even thought of that aspect of the fires.

Stay safe-—and thanks again for that picture-—I’ve sent it to several people-——terrifying.
