"10:00PM I go for a ride the fire is about seven to ten miles northeast of us, just starting to get to baldy, 1:00AM the guy next door wakes me up, now the fire is one mile west of us and is all around us on the hills. the news reports its taking homes over on north indian hill and there trying to save the fire station on north Mills which is half a mile away, the ash is thick in the air and the stuff is everywhere but thats as close as it got last night. very scary, last summer when La verne was burning I drove over and took pictures the fire didn't come anywhere near us so there was never any fear but this time I'm thinking, all that has to happen is for the wind to kick up and yeah this could happen. a little to close for comfort."
