"ryan started the fire"
In all seriousness, looks like fires are back again. This morning we took a long walk to watch the helicopters and look at smoke from the Sylmar fire. There's a golf course a couple streets over and helicopters were picking up water all morning. Every now and then I still hear them.
Sounds like at least one friend's house may be gone. I've got a friend/co-worker who lives in that area as well and I haven't heard anything from him. So who knows? I know God is sovereign and in control and we can take comfort in that.
Here's the smoke we could see from streets around our neighborhood.
Here are some helicopter shots.
Everyone was getting into the picture taking. It was a little eerie to see people camped out in their pickup trucks watching the helicopters. People kept streaming out of the neighborhood to watch the happenings.
I hope that this guy is some sort of freelance photographer. Otherwise, he is way too serious about his hobby (note accessory belt).
And here's scooter guy, who couldn't be bothered with taking off his helmet. After all, wouldn't want everyone to see his helmet hair.
