Fires, Fires, and More Fires!!!

This weekend was quite stressful not knowing if we were going to have to evacuate or not. Actually, it's Monday now and we still don't know! All these photos were taken on Saturday. We hiked up to the top of the mountain right in front of our house and had a great view of what was going on. Last night 3 firetrucks were assigned the night on our street. Today there has been about 3 or 4 huge planes dropping foscheck and about 2 or 3 helicoptors dropping water. They have been flying over our house all day. I am determined to get a good photo of a plane dropping foscheck so check back soon.

This photo was taken from our upstairs window
Saturday morning. Kind of scary!

our hike up the mountain. View of the Santa Clarita Valley from
the top of the mountain. View of our house. It is the one closest to you.
A helicoptor just dropped water on the fire.
