One of the Santa Clarita fires burned right up to my sisters house, but they were smart and had cleared the brush a good distance from their house, so the house didn't catch on fire.  When they went back to the house the next morning, they found that the firemen ended up setting up cots in her yard and had slept there.

Another fire started up earlier today about a mile or so behind my parents house, but luckily the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, so it never got too close.

I was listening to talk radio this morning, and Rush was talking about some bill called the "Save the Forests" bill. Basically, it would provide fundage for crews to go in and clear out underbrush in strategic locations out in California to stop wild fires from spreading. He was also saying that it is currently illegal for homeowners to do this themselves. I take everything Rush says with a grain of salt. Can any of you Californians chime in on this subject?

I take everything i hear in the media with a grain of salt..

I just want to say to the people who live in So. Cal., or have friends and/or relatives there:
We are praying for you and hope you stay safe and hang in there..

ChadTower:

The fire chiefs have been saying most of this time that they'd be a lot more effective in slowing down these fires if they didn't have to spend nearly all resources evacuating people who wouldn't evacuate themselves.
