Hollywood Burning
This was 2 miles from my house today. Luckily the winds were calm and the firefighters got it under control quickly. If the winds were from the east however, it would have been a different story. Some folks were hosing the rooftops. I live at the base of the Hollywood Hills closer to Beverly Hills than Hollywood, but this was still pretty scary. I can still smell the smoke. The helicopters were able to put it out quite quickly. More here.
Thanks to Gary…who had a rough day too, closer to the action!
