The Station Fire has burned over 122,000 acres. Officials do not expect to have it contained until September 15. At this point they are guesstimating it is about 5% contained. Contained means that they will have cut a path and have the entire fire effectively surrounded. There is no estimate on when they hope to have the fire out.
Yellow Areas = Mandatory Evacuation
Red Area = Estimated Fire Perimeter
Pink Balloon = Marrieds House
{click it to big it}The girl and her kitties are safe here with me. Her husband is back in LA working and will stay with friends should their house come under mandatory evacuation orders. The boy is at a defensive driving class for his EMT job today and wishing he was out fighting fire.
There are two fires less than 10 miles from my home but we are not in any danger from them. Those fires would have to do major tricks and the fire departments would have to have some epic FAIL in order to get anywhere near my house.
Thanks so much for your prayers and concern.
love and hugs,
