Thanks for your concern. So far the fires have not affected me, other than occasionally a bit of a smoky smell and a haze over the valley. Last year one of the major fires was much closer, not close enough to endanger my home, but close enough that the employees at the Costco gas station where I shop were wearing masks, ash was falling all around, and we could see the flames just across the freeway. The fires are indeed scary, especially when they start up during the night and people awaken to find that they are in danger.
