Some smoke in the air from the Canyon 2 fire, but I'm very grateful that's been the only problem. I thought my house would be safe from all fires, since it's separated by other houses and manicured slopes from the canyons all around. But after watching the fire in Anaheim Hills on TV, I now realize that those burning embers can travel for miles on the high winds that we have several times a year. And once they get into the eaves of a home they can smolder for hours undetected, until the entire roof catches fire and comes crashing down. It was scary to watch the live news coverage of the nearby fires, and so sad that so many people lost their homes. There was footage on TV of deer running along a freeway, trying to get away from the fire. The whole ecosystem is changed in those areas. And the fact that the two Anaheim fires apparently started in the same area (but went in different directions because of the wind and the available combustible material) makes me wonder whether an arsonist is to blame. The investigators haven't named the cause yet, but if these were intentional fires I hope the person responsible is found quickly.
